How Are Grubs Controlled?
Whether or not to treat for grubs is determined by population and lawn damage levels. If high populations of grubs are found and damage is present, a “contact type control” may be applied during the insect’s feeding stages in the spring and/or fall. If grub populations and damage levels are lower but determined to be a future risk, a “systemic type control” can be applied in mid-summer. These products are absorbed by the grass plant and allow the turf to protect itself by destroying grubs that begin to feed later in the season. Keep in mind, however, that no control is 100% effective. The goal is to maintain populations below levels that cause serious and/or permanent damage.
