Japanese Beetle Eradication Statistics

Mesa County Commissioners have declared Japanese Beetle as a public nuisance pest requiring control or eradication.

The Commissioners have approved funding to cover the cost of grub control treatments in the affected area. Noxious Weed and Pest Management is collaborating with industry and government partners to implement eradication efforts and support property owners in the treatment area. 

Our effort to eradicate the Japanese Beetle in Mesa County focuses on targeted trapping, spraying, and containment. Data indicates that most beetle captures occurred within defined treatment zones, confirming that current strategies are effective in limiting the pest’s spread.

We are committed to eradicating this pest.
