Grubs can be a nuisance in your yard and destroy your lawn or flowers. They eat away at roots and kill the vegetation from below. They prefer healthy lawns that can supply them with plenty of food. When grubs grow up, they turn into beetles that will eat your plants from above ground. Removing these pests is the only way to save your yard.
Things You'll Need
Grub nematodes
Milky spore
Cut back on your watering for the flowers and surrounding area if you can. Grubs prefer well watered lawns and healthy lawns. Cutting back on the watering will help deter them.
Spread milky spore on the lawn and around the flowers where the grubs are located. Apply it based on the quantity recommendations of the package. Milky spore is a bacteria that will grow in the soil and attacks grubs. It will stay in the soil for many years.
Apply nematodes to the soil. Fill a bucket with water and add the package of nematodes. Allow them to soak for a few minutes, then spray or pour them onto the soil with a garden sprayer or watering can. Water evenly and shake the container occasionally to keep the water mixed. Follow dosage instructions on the package. Keep the soil watered well for a couple of weeks after you apply the nematodes.
