SAP beetle invasion!!

9 years ago

My husband and I bought a house with 800+ blackberry bushes. I recently discovered small sap beetles (aka picnic beetles) in some of the overripe berries. I read they burrow in the berries and lay their larvae. The only solution I read was to get rid of the spoiled and overripe fruit to eliminate their attraction but this isn't feasible as we have way too many berries and bushes. Any suggestions how to kill these little guys? Organic sprays do not work.
