How to Stop Grubs from Damaging Your
Lawn Instantly
White Grubs can Destroy a Yard in Just a
Couple of Weeks if You Let Them
By Mark J. Donovan

At the first sign of white grub damage to your lawn it’s important to kill
the grubs immediately. Grubs are the larvae of Chafer and Japanese Beetles
and they feed on your lawn’s root system. In a very short period of time
they can destroy your lawn. You can stop grubs from damaging your lawn
instantly with various products. Grub killer products with Dylox can kill
Chafer and Japanese Beetles overnight.
If you see large brownish or whitish spots forming on your lawn, or observe
crows pecking and ripping up your lawn, chances are your lawn has a white
grub problem.

To confirm that your lawn is infested with white grubs use a shovel to turn over
a few test patches of lawn. Look carefully in the overturned soil.

If you see even a couple grubs in a spade shovel of soil you have a serious grub
problem that needs to be addressed immediately.
To stop grubs from damaging your lawn further, apply a grub killer product with
Dylox on your lawn just before it is to rain. If rain is not in the forecast,
then water the grub killer product into the soil so that the grub killer
penetrates into the lawn’s root system. Within 24 hours the grubs should begin
to die as they come in contact with the grub killer and Dylox. After 24 hours
have passed, water the lawn once again to enable further penetration into the
lawn root system. |
| Also, don’t mow the lawn until the grub killer product has
had time to fully absorb into the soil. The best time to apply a grub
killer is between July and September when the grubs are young and the most
active. However, if you see damage at other times of the lawn growing season
than by all means stop the lawn damage immediately by applying grub killer.
If the infestation is strong, then a second application may be necessary.
