If you’ve had problems
with grubs in your lawn, or would like to prevent having problems with grubs
in your lawn, now’s the time to apply a grub preventer. But with all these
to choose, how do you know which one is the right one?
First, remember that
we’re applying a grub preventer, which will go after the early egg stages of
the grubs before they cause any damages. And with many species of beetles
laying eggs at different times over the summer, grub preventers last for the
entire season helping to control all the different species of grub eggs.
So you need to make sure
you apply a grub preventer…and the chemicals on the label would be
either“Merit” (or imidacloprid), or Mach 2. These are the long lasting grub
preventers. Common brand names include Scott’s GrubEx, Bayer’s Season Long
Grub Control, or Bonide’s new Grub Beater. Again, these last all season.
As always, be sure to
read the labels before applications…these do need to be watered in before
they become activated. And do remember that even using these products,
there will always be grubs in the soil. So keeping your lawn healthy is the
best defense against grubs or any lawn insect. A healthy turf means fewer
weeds, less disease, and fewer insect problems. |
