Grubs in the Lawn - How to Identify and Kill Grubs 

Me too. After Fox took Tucker Carson off the air I have more time at 8pm.

I had to naturalise my side yard and I am thinking about what's next as the grubs are winning here in Ontario. I have had good results with clover seeds as the grubs don't eat clover and it's nice, needs water to get started but once established it grows well.

I would think if you have a plugger for grass you would be to get some plugs and replant them. Of course fill in the spot that you pulled the plugs from.

Not sure what you’ve tried. I used nematodes and milky spores. Grubs haven’t been back since.

Ditto…

@thinkmoneybenny did it rain immediately or few hours?

@@pedroderas5816 i dont recall but it doesnt matter, just make sure it gets water to get activated. Rain is best

Only when you test and find them present. They usually appear late summer.

I did this! Place every 6 inches. It should fill in by 4-6 weeks! Worked great

I didn’t understand what you have placed..

No real impact on fungi colonies

hummm smh at this one, dead patches will remain until the grass can fill in the damage unless you must seed

Yes no issues

@@HowTowithDoc What RATE (#/k[]’) of the DUO-Cide do you use? 4# or 8# ?

@@HowTowithDoc So often should you aerate or detach? My lawn is bluegrass and I have a spot that goes dormant. I've treated for grubs and even tried to re-seed, but there is still a problem there.

I eat my snacks to get rid of them.

Yes, follow directions and water in. No issues ever with our two girls.

Is this harmful to the wild birds and beneficial insects?

Not very effective because of timing restrictions

Did you ever get an answer? I was just looking for this question and an answer

@@jessicas4295no, no one else replied. I use a shovel year round to till the soil(wouldn’t do this if I had no grubs) and hand pick the grubs out. Variable amounts in my raised beds and pots. Good luck!

Each beetle will lay up to 60 eggs so it's good. But the cycles vary. You'll see beetles at the same time grubs are there.

Hancock seed

Nope.... they are fine

I put up the link on that page. White clover and yes it will.

In Canada, virtually all pesticides and herbicides have been banned and no long sold. Nematodes are one of the recommended "natural treatments" treatments, but they are expensive and they seem to have little effect.

Water it in well. Then allow them back.

@@HowTowithDoc thank you - figure a day or two?

The label will indicate if it’s safe around chickens. So….NO.

@@davehaggerty3405 the label is silent.

@@mightybarrister so if it isn’t labeled safe in chicken yards it is not safe. I carried a lawn pesticide license for years. And insurance. Although I never applied an insecticide I learned a couple of things. It’s legal to treat your own property. Except for restricted use pesticides. Homeowners always use too much. They never get the life cycle of the insect right so it fails. There are 6 major types of grubs in this area. If they are not treated in the larval stage they survive. And they’re all different! If you apply enough poison (it says that right on the package) to kill everything at every depth it is way too much. Everything the chicken eats would be poisoned. At that rate I’d worry if the well was safe. Is the dog? Grubs are common. Excessive grubs result from stresses to the lawn. Mowing too short. A drouth. Maybe last year. Because of the yearly life cycle of the grub and mature beetle. The purpose of pesticide license is to educate professional users to use the minimum pesticide to control pests. Not eradicate all bugs. Pesticides should be the last line of defense. After you’ve tried everything else. Organic produce is worth the price. Organic farmers will report you for applying pesticides next to their organic crops. If you miss “watering in” just a few of those granules those chickens will gobble them up like chicken feed! I am not anti-pesticide. Without the proper use of pesticides the world would starve. But for purely aesthetics on a lawn? Misuse like that will get all pesticides removed from the consumer market. You’ll have to call a professional for everything. Which is maybe what you should do here.

I squash em!

No

Well, I wouldn't let my pets eat it.

It will not "wipe them out" but it can reduce
