Guineas Vs. Asian beetles

[rooster0209]

Not sure if they eat Asian Beatles or not. Actually Asian Beatles are good bugs, they can clear a soybean field of aphids. Aphids are dangerous to soybeans and cut production in half. Besides Asian Beatles the only thing that will rid a field of aphids is chemicals.

I get Asian Beatles and Box Elder bugs both. I have free range guineas and I am not sure if the population has suffered

So in order to make more food for humans let's completely mess with our ecosystem and introduce one of the most annoying bugs in existence.... Everyone please stop eating soy.

I live in the middle of those bean fields.

I don't know about Asian beetles... I still get them allthough not as bad as pre-Guineas. But it could also be the weather.
However I can say that I have gone from spending $350 on exterminators and nasty chemicals to $0. And I don't have to have my house sprayed anymore for bugs. We used to get tons of strawberry beetles and whatever else. Now just some of the asian beetles in the fall. My dogs and me used to pick up ticks when wandering the yard... I haven't found a tick in 2 years now since the guineas.
