Grass Grubs

[ChrisK]

What is the best way to get rid of those white grubs that eat away at your grass and kill the roots?

[Big Ben]

Two ways. Put out fish parts to draw every skunk in town to your lawn, or buy the liquid from a nursery containing two kinds of nematodes. I think they recomend June or July treatment. About $30.00 for 300 sq. ft. Lawn has to be well watered first. This will not harm worms.

A rototiller works wonders! Afterward you get to start all over with freash grass seed!

Done that last year and removed all old grass. Used grass seeds and re-did the lawn. I'm hoping that this year will be better.

I kind of like them little critters since they kill the grass which in turn prevents it from growing thus no mowing! :p

You know how yukky and muddy everything would be if there was no grass?!? :gsd::kpz:

I haven't had a problem with grubs til last year... and now my front lawn is destroyed :wwh:

Oh well, time to start over... it's just the timing couldn't be worse... :gaa:

I've resorted to adding a grub kill to my annual schedule as a proactive measure, it's also less expensive if part of a program.

Good luck!
