This is sprayed on the exterior of the house where it gets sunny during the day. This reduces entry over the first 2 years to now nothing. In NH we spray once in mid-September as they start coming in during the fall.
The Asian Beetles showed up here in coastal southeast Texas maybe 6-8 years ago. I noticed they are attracted to sunlight and will fly right out the door on a sunny day. They seem to almost “rain” out of the big oak trees behind our house. The typical aerosol bug bomb will take care of most of them inside the RV.
We haven’t gotten them inside the house, yet.
