Problem Info

Metallic, blue-green beetles, 1/5 inch long, feed on buds and unfolding leaves. Brown grubs with black spots damage the foliage by feeding on the upper surfaces of the leaves, causing the lower surfaces to turn brown.

Solution Advice

Treat infested plants with an insecticide labeled for grape flea beetle, following label directions. Give plants adequate food and water. Clean up garden debris thoroughly in the fall.
