HOW TO 
Tags: Grubs, Garden Pests, Pests, Removing Grubs
Grubs can sure mess up a lawn. They destroy all the grass and leave a big brown spot behind. This method surely works. If you can pull up your lawn like a carpet, then you have grub damage. The grubs you find in a lawn are the grubs from Japanese beetles. Japanese beetles are dormant in the winter, and then fly and lay their eggs in mid-July. In August, the grubs start to to move to the surface of your lawn, and while doing this, eat the roots of the grass. The time to treat the affected area is right after the beetles lay the eggs.
| 1. | Treat your lawn in middle of July. You want to use a product that contains Merrit, this chemical will poison the grubs, and kill them. |
| 2. | Apply the product following the directions on the package. |
| 3. | If you want a more organic option, then you can apply Milky Spore. This is a disease that will kill off the Japanese Beetles. You need to apply it in the Spring, Summer, and Fall for two years. This will insure that your lawn is "infected" and will remain so for at least ten years. |
