Get Rid of Grubs / Turf Insects in 4 Easy Steps
Today we talk about how to get rid of Grubs and turf insects like Japanese beetles and billbug grubs. Lawn grubs or grubs in the lawn can be a frustrating task because you don't know they're there until it's too late. Follow my 4 easy steps to get rid of grubs and turf insects by following the steps in my video.
identification if key. Patterns and shapes will tell us if there is a problem in the lawn. Turf insects commonly create random patterns. Those random patterns will start by looking stressed. It's important to identify these random shapes and patterns before they get too bad.
If you find a random pattern in your lawn start off by doing a pull test to verify if the grass is in tact or not. This helps us narrow down if we are dealing with an insect issue or something simple like drought stress dormancy.
If you find grub damage or turf insect damage it's important to get treated as soon as possible. I've included links to all the products above and I've listed them as preventive or curative.
Just remember that the most important part to any lawn care program is prevention.
Thanks for tuning in! I specialize in solving lawn problems and implementing strategies to fix lawn problems. Weather you have crabgrass that's not dying, too much thatch, lawn fungus, over watering problems or an ugly lawn there's not a lawn problem I can't solve. Try the Ginja 5 Steps to diagnosing a lawn you'll be glad you did. Don't forget to checkout my playlist.

Year one was moss and when the snowmelt was done I rolled up the moss leaving bare dirt over the entire lawn, and I started reseeding. Year 4 now, grubs. One shovel from anywhere may have 20 grubs. Entire lawn devasted again. But the Lawn Ginja always has the reason and the solution inspite of my obvious lawn curse. Thanks. Someday I will be able to relax with a simple routine that wins.

A good video you put together. I have one small section of my front lawn under a huge maple tree that gets a problem every summer. I have found small white grubs before but this year couldn’t find any but the grass was dying and some pulled easily. I put down Sevin bug killer and DiseaseX and a few weeks later it’s cleared up. Some thin areas now but overall looking pretty good. Thank you.

Perfect timing! I just found Billbugs and cutworms in my yard yesterday after a deep, heavy soak of water. Treating for it today with the liquid Bauer advanced. I don’t like the granular as it says, “safe to re-enter when dry”. Well, what about when you irrigate regularly? Always stay off of it while wet? Nah. Unless I’m missing something and once it gets wet once, it’s one and done? Let me know. As always, thanks Ginja.

@pestandlawnginja 4 жыл бұрын

The imidicloprid insecticides sink into the soil into the lower layers. the bifen based or curative insecticides act as floaters and stay in the upper levels of the thatch and crown of the grass. Interesting science for sure. The wetting is to get the product off the leaves of the grass and into the crown and lower. pretty safe in my opinion.

Hi Ginja. In my opinion you're the best for the lawn affairs. I have learnt a lot with your videos. I applied with end hose the Bayer insect killer early morning, it completely dried out and nightime rain, next day early morning I applied Triazicide insect killer and Bayer fungus control end hose, both dried very good and 4 pm we have a storm with heavy rain for almost 1 hour (even some snow in July 😮, this is crazy). It will rain the next 2 days but no storms Yes, my lawn has fungus and I I see the bettles couples making babies every day, they are cooking. I overseed with tenacity and some new grass is growing, with that in very happy 😁 Do I have to reapply the fungus control and insecticide after 2 days I mow?. It's time, my grass needs a 3" haircut. Thank you

@pestandlawnginja 3 жыл бұрын

The imidicloprid bases will last 9 weeks while growing through the plant. The bifen only lasts a week or two at best. Reapplication is as desired or as directed on the label. It's pretty common for a label to instruct a re application on fungicides within 2 weeks.

@wjhinde1 3 жыл бұрын

Great videos! I need some advice. I recently discovered I had a grub issue well after they had gotten most of my back yard. I just laid the granular bioadvanced grub killer plus, but the next day i was still able to find live grubs. Is it okay to go to the Cyonara 9.7 and the Dominion 2L within the same week or should i wait some time. Also, I like the idea of doing a stimulant on the yard to help restore the turf quicker, but if spread out the ProPeat 13-5-8, would that take the place of my regular scheduled fertilizer i do with Scotts Turf builder? FYI, i am in Houston so not sure if that changes any of your answers. Thank you for doing these videos!!

@pestandlawnginja 3 жыл бұрын

doing another dose of insecticide should be ok. it won't burn or cause issues with the plants. If you use the propeat it would not be wise to use the scotts within 2 weeks. too much nitrogen can burn the lawn. Thanks for all the support!

@eugenieandrews8874 4 жыл бұрын

Jared, I've thinking about the water retention properties of the peat moss in ProPeat. Do you think it would be beneficial to top dress a 7.5 pH lawn or specific problem areas that experience water retention issues with peat moss and then use the Sun Joe scarifier attachment to work it into the soil profile? Or would it negatively prevent deep water penetration and keep it in the upper soil profile where it will be more likely to evaporate?

@pestandlawnginja 4 жыл бұрын

I have mixed feelings on putting straight peat down. It really depends on the source of peat. Sometimes I feel the part doesnt mesh well in the soil and robs water. But other times its integrated well. Whatever propeat does to break it down works great

I'm in NW Indiana (very close to Chicago) I have the typical "Midwest mix" of mostly KBG, fescue, & rye in my lawn. I do a split-application of Prodiamine in the early spring each year. When I do my second application (usually in April sometime) of Prodiamine I also mix in Dominion 2L to help prevent grubs. My question is, how many times can I apply the Dominion 2L? Should I do a second application of it in June or July to get a bit more length in coverage? Or is one time per season enough? Thanks in advance. Love the videos.

@pestandlawnginja 4 жыл бұрын

Great question! It all depends on the rates your doing. it's common to use .5oz per 1000 sq ft for grub control with that product. it should last minimum 9 weeks if you watered it in correctly. You can do a second app and if you're in a warmer climate it might be wise.

@shinedownfly 4 жыл бұрын

Help me Ginja! Just subscribed! I have live in Massachusetts and have a very thick 9 year old lawn. I have always used a fertilization program and aerated once a year (usually in fall). The lawn looks great in early spring but for the last 5 years I always get pink patch in late spring/early summer. It’s quite aggressive and takes over most of my 15,000sqft within a few weeks. I have irrigation and my landscaper says to water deeply each night because my lawn is full sun. I understand that the fungus doesn’t permanently kill the grass, but when the fungus takes over and thins the lawn, and then summer heat comes, I get dead bare spots that don’t come back. Why do you think I’m getting this each year and what should I do? Thank you. Love your channel

@pestandlawnginja 3 жыл бұрын

fungus is a result of too much moisture and humidity. you'll need to dial your watering in. move to a 3x per week plan and focus on not over or underwatering. You may also want to consider a preventive fungicide in the future

thanks for ideas to control the grubs. wondered about some dry spots in my lawn. i'm in central cal, summers can many times hit and hover in high 90s and 100s. my lawn is 35yrs old and some of the sprinklers can be pretty old maybe not 30 plus but 20 yrs and some are newer. don't remember my lawn having dry spots back in the day but am trying to seek out sprinklers to get better coverage. i've heard that water pressure could affect sprinkler coverage (a more even curtain of coverage from sprinkler). my well pumps 60 psi to valves, do i need to reduce the pressure to get better coverage? considering hunter sprinkler to see if i can get better coverage, any ideas or thoughts? thanks for your help

@pestandlawnginja Жыл бұрын

you do not need to reduce pressure unless you're running the hunter mp rotator series that are 40psi heads. the best thing you can do is a water output cup test, measure the cups and see if the water caught matches one another. the cups in areas that are not average to the others will tell you what areas need sprinkler adjustments.

Hi, I'm in Utah too and a huge portion of my back lawn was affected by grub. Unfortunately, now it is Spring (March) and I haven't done anything yet. I am wondering if we should lay down the pesticide (like the grub killer plus) now over the whole lawn, and then rake the dead lawn and reseed? Or do you rake up the dead lawn first (there are zero roots), then apply pesticide and then reseed? Or rake up the lawn, reseed, and then do the pesticide? Thanks for the great video

@pestandlawnginja Жыл бұрын

all great questions. here's the issue. we need to figure out if the grubs come from japanese beatles or billbugs. easiest way to tell is if the grubs had legs or not. billbugs are commonly not laying eggs before the end of april / may, and commonly are causing damages around july / august depending on the year. Japanese beatle grubs over winter in the soil and are there around the year. if you want to error on the side of caution I would use a product called acelepryn. it goes a tad deeper into the soil and also stays in the soil much longer than the traditional application of imidicloprid.

Hi Ginja, Always on time with your vids. I overseed in 05.29.20 and 06.05.20 KBG first time I use scoots brand and my Seedlings are coming up nice, some of them have almost 2", some not even half, I guess from the 06.05.20 but, I have some fungus on the old Turf. My manicure has dried grass or fungus combo and he shares but, in genealogy my holes are filling up, also I have insects and for sure I'll have some larvae grubs (I saw the bettles all over),, I stopped the squirrels and other animals from making holes with bat and arches to hold it and works. . Yesterday I put down Jonathan's fungus control. My question is Can I apply the insecticide to the new baby grass or something else? . I got nematodes on the refrigerator but, yesterday I saw the fungus so, I'll use them only for around the bushes and not for the grass 'cause they die with the insecticide. The grass looks very funny with the Nets, everyone look when they walk the dogs. 😁Thank you

great question. the insecticides can be ok on new grass but it needs to be a light dose and I probably wouldn't use anything other than a bifenthrin based insecticide.

ever have a repair area or large reseed area have odd spots that are slow to germinate, or do not sprout straight up, but rather look curled over? have a large reseed area i sprayed a month ago with tenacity, before throwing down seed, wondered if it could be the meso with some possible lingering in the soil. majority of seed came in growing straight ,never seen it before. made me wonder if pests could cause this.

Ginja! Scotts is selling 'Grubgone' in Canada. A bioinsecticide made of a kind of 'Bt' called Btg. They claim it is 90% as effective as Merit and needs much less irrigation to work than nematodes. Imidacloprid and Carbryl are both unregistered here for domestic use. Researching this product it has been for sale for two years in the states but there is no videos or comments about, that I could find. Scotts say it kills larger instar grubs if it gets down to the root zone, grubs eat it, then stop feeding and die.

Thank you for this video, Ginja!! I've been battling grubs in my lawn for years. Just to recap, I definitely do have grubs and since it is July, this is perfect timing. I need to treat my grass with Bioadvanced Complete Insect Killer to kill the grubs and as preventive. If I want to kill them faster, but without preventive benefits, I just use Bioadvanced Grub Killer Plus. To repair my anemic grass, I use Essential 101 in conjunction with the mentioned products. Do I need to add grass seed, too? And THEN add milky spore, treating my grass 2-3 times in the coming two years. In the meantime, I've been spraying my grass with neem oil for the past two nights. Do you have any opinion on the efficacy of neem oil? In addition to the grubs in my grass, I also discovered grubs in my succulent garden, which is nowhere near any grass. I found them a few months ago when I was doing some planting. In one a small section I found 10 grubs. I sprinkled triazicide on the area. What is your opinion of that product? Thank you soooo much for any feedback you can offer me I'm ready to throw in the towel and just go artificial.

@pestandlawnginja 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Lisa! Love hearing your out slaying that lawn. You have a perfect approach. sounds like you got hit hard! Sorry to hear about that. The only thing I'd consider adding to your regimen before an overseed is dethatching once you get the grass back to a solid healthy state. The triazicide works great. I've used it before and it does what the label states. Keep slaying that lawn!

That is a great question. it all depends on if you want to water it in and keep it wet. The water is a spreading agent and helps push the elements into the soil. I wouldn't apply it unless you have grass on the ground and I would wait until the sod or seed has set in which usually takes a few months.

Hey man great video as always! My question is about fertilizer if you don’t mind. My soil test recommend adding 2-3lbs of N, 1lb of P, and 2lbs of K. I was having a tough time finding an equivalent for that ratio until I saw this video! Will that ProPeat 13-5-8 work or is there something else you maybe know of that would be closer to my numbers? Thanks as always Ginja can’t wait for the next video!

@pestandlawnginja 4 жыл бұрын

Its a great product. You just need to do some math. At the high rate of 1lbs per 1000 sq ft you'd use 7.69lbs of product to get to 1lbs N. 20lbs to get to 1lb of P and 12.5lbs to get to 1lbs of K. With that said the 1lbs of N bag rate of 7.69lbs of product per 1000 sq ft puts you at 1lbsN .38lbs P and .62lbs K per application. If you cut these rates in half you could do a 6 services program over the course of the summer and be right where you want. of you could do 4 services over the season and also be mathematically sound. looks like a good fit for what you need.

Hi there. really it all comes down to identification as you're suggesting. if you have grubs you'll find them. if you look in the description of the vidoe I have mapped out the treatments for curative and prevention. but you'll need to find the larvae / grub beetle in order to properly identify or find out if you actually have turf insects invading your grass. most lawns i assess have lack of water and not a turf insect issue.
