No doubt ground control can be the key in many yards!  if you can keep them
from successfully reproducing you will win.  One falsehood that keeps
getting propagated is that they come from somewhere else.   Sure  the
initial few always do,  but then they stay and build a population in that
yard/location.  The vast majority of beetles in your hive grew up within 20
feet of the hive.

The problem gets to be for me when you have 800 hives in 50 yards......
Tried Nematoades this year,  ended up spraying 5k dollars worth,  then we
hit a huge drought and killed of the nematoades......
