A natural way to get rid of lawn grubs is to spray a mixture of neem oil and water to the affected area. Neem oil is a natural pesticide. Other ways include using beneficial nematodes or milky spore powder to kill off grubs. While nematodes are tiny worms that release bacteria, milky spores are also bacteria that infect grubs to eventually kill them off.

∙ 13y agoThere are certain pesticides that are made just for this purpose.
You can also bring in a few toads to manage your yard and garden of grubs. You will need at least a shallow pond for them to cool off in the shade and a "home" to aid in their protection from aerial predators. Toads are nocturnal in nature so do not expect to see them during the day. You will not need to worry about mosquitoes because toads will take care of them as well.

∙ 15y agoI use Scotts Grubex in mid to late July and do not have problems with them showing up. If you are talking about killing them once they have already appeared I think you`d be looking for some type liquid application. I did have to spray one year but I forget what I used, though it was a green bottle I attached to the hose. I think ORTHO made it.

∙ 9y agoAdhering to proper fertilization and irrigation schedules, attending to soil and soil food web health, committing to weekly mowing and raking schedules, and encouraging Songbirds are the best ways to eliminate grubs from the lawn. Grubs thereby controlled by structure- and texture-promoting compost, discouraged by proper (not excessive) moisture accumulation, find themselves eaten by birds, outcompeted by other soil-dwelling food web members, and unprotected by leaf litter and taller grasses.

∙ 10y agoEncouraging songbirds, introducing beneficial nematodes, refraining from over-fertilizing and over-watering, and using herbiicides are ways to control grubs.
Specifically, many songbirds such as grackels and robins enjoy feeding on lawn grubs. Beneficial nematodes establish mutually satisfactory interactions with plant roots and prey upon grubs. A soil analysis identifies over-fertilization as a problem if there is a preponderance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium underground. Watering every 10 days keeps the lawn effectively irrigated without encouraging insects to lay eggs that will hatch into larval stages. Granular and spray applications which contain such grub-fighting active ingredients as carbaryl and imidacloprid will work particularly well in early fall.

What kills grubs?
If you currently have grubs- Any product that contains carbaryl (Sevin) or trichlorfon (Dylox) will work well when applied in the spring (from March to mid-May) or in the fall (September 1 to November 1).and will kill the grubs currently in the ground. It is necessary to irrigate after applying any curative product to get the chemical to the grubs. Run a lawn sprinkler for at least 60 minutes over treated areas (fill a bucket to a half-inch). It will take 10 to 14 days for the grubs to begin to die. One trichlorfon product called Bayer Advanced 24 Hour Grub Control seems to indicate by the name that it will kill grubs in 24 hours. However, I doubt that any of the insecticides will kill grubs in the soil in much less than five days unless there is a very heavy rain and very warm temperatures the day of application. Read below for some good information if you are looking to prevent future grubs
Do Asian beetles eat plants?
Yes they gnaw on a lot of plants, but the biggest problem is that they deposit their eggs in your lawn which develop into the nefarious GRUBS. Grubs eat the lawn roots, and are dug up by all kinds of vermin which is what we are seeing a lot of here in the PA.
