Notice
We'll be continuing with treatment for Japanese beetle this spring. Japanese beetle is an invasive insect that can cause serious damage to gardens, lawns and plants. Here's what to know:
- The treatment (Acelepryn) specifically targets root-eating grubs. It's not harmful to people, pets, mammals, birds, bees, butterflies, or other animals.
- To give the treatment a chance to take effect, please avoid these areas on treatment days. There will be City staff and signage present at each site to advise people of program details and best practices.
- This week (April 16 and 17), we'll be working in Gates Park. Please stay off the grass!
- The City will be undertaking treatment of public lands only. If your property is located within this year’s treatment boundary zone, you will receive a mailout package soon with details to sign up for free treatments through the Province’s contractors (Bartlett Tree Experts and Para Space Landscaping).
- Want to check now if your property is in the treatment zone? Visit portcoquitlam.ca/japanesebeetle.
