Man I hate grub worms! For one thing they are very grusome, ugly, looking worms. Take a look at the photo on the left. Aren't they ugly? Early spring is when these creatures start to do their damage. They eat the root system of trees, shrubs, plants and mainly lawns.
The grubs that you see in your lawn are the larvae of Japanese beetles, June beetles, and chafers. These grubs are usually shaped like the letter C. The have a white color and a dark brown head. They are about the size of a large human thumb.
It is interesting to note that well maintained and heavily watered lawns will attract Japanese beetles.
They can also do alot of damage during the fall season but spring is the best time to eliminate them. Here are the signs of grub damage.
Yellow round spots on your lawn.
Trees and shrubs looking like they need water.
Unusual amount of birds feeding on your lawn.
Skunks and Racoons digging around your lawn.
One product that I use myself is Bayer Advanced Season Long Grub Control it will kill grubs all season long and it also promotes Vigorous Root Growth. IT comes in an easy-to-use granules container.

Thanks. Now tell me will Bayer work with houseplants. I found them in my palm tree pot and this pot hasn't been outside. I think I might have brought them home from Home Depot when I bought the plant. The man here is of no help, lol.
ReplyDeleteSherryl yes Bayer advanced grub control will work...However it is not recommended for houseplants. There is an ingredient is this product that will release into the air. This could be harmful to you or anyone else living in your home.
ReplyDeleteThere is a product that can be used indoors ask for them at your local nursery. Make sure it is usuable for indoors.

i had four large palms in my spanish garden and they have all died i could hear something inside making a noise as if it was eating the inside of the root would this be the palm grub
