Remedy: Bran mixed with water sweetened with molasses, and poisoned 

 with Paris green, is said to be fairly effective. It should be placed at intervals 

 through the strawberry patch, each portion covered with a piece of shingle or 

 board. Pick beetles and destroy them if necessary. Traps in the shape of 

 boards, etc., are good. Write for further particulars if troubled with this pest.
