Grubs
Oct 10th, 2007 by Julie Kirkwood
If you’ve lost parts of your lawn this fall to white grubs, you’re not alone.
The University of Massachusetts released an update Friday saying this was “a banner year” for white grubs.
You can read the full advisory at: http://www.umassturf.org/mangement_updates/management_updates.html
They think it has to do with the dry weather in August and September.
Unfortunately if you’re just noticing the damage now, there’s not much you can do to kill the grubs short of serious chemicals, and even that might not work because it’s so late in the season.
You may as well just let the skunks, raccoons and birds feast on the grubs and repair the lawn with seed … and maybe feel a little better knowing you’re not alone.
