Q.Is It Safe To Use A Neem Oil Mixture To Prevent Beetles On My Raspberry Plants?

Zone Hager City, WI Garden zone 4 | Anonymous added on June 13, 2021 | Answered

I don’t know what kind of beetle this is, but they are breeding and feeding on my raspberries. I live in Wisconsin and their invasion started roughly a week ago. (June, 1st week) They are light brown in color, slow moving, and there are tons of them!

It won't prevent them, but may kill them when you spray them. An easy approach is to knock them into a pan of soapy water each morning.
