My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Beetle eating lemon tree flower

7 years ago

This morning I found a beetle (I think it might be an asiatic garden beetle) eating one of the petals of a flower on my potted Meyer lemon tree. I think it had been on there a while, based on the damage it had done to the petal.


Any ideas on how to repel them? I don't want this to grow into a larger problem.
