I’ve been battling grubs in my lawns lately, and it’s been a real struggle. I’ve found that a combination of nematodes and early season irrigation helps minimize their damage, but I’m curious what others are doing. Anyone have tried-and-true methods for dealing with these pests without relying too much on chemicals?
I hear you on the grubs; they’ve been a nightmare in my turf too. I found that applying beneficial nematodes during the late spring has made a noticeable difference in my lawns. Have you tried activating them with warmer soil temperatures?
I’ve had good luck with a mix of milky spore and regular dethatching. It helps not just with grubs but also keeps the soil healthy. Have you looked into that method @kellyT_905?
