Eliminating Grub Worms? What to Do

Eliminating Grub Worms? What to Do? Beetles usually lay their eggs during early summer.
After these eggs hatch, they turn into nasty pests, known as grub worms. Grub worms then tunnel
underground and feast on the roots of plants and grasses until the winter or fall season. If you will
notice, this sort of problem is like a cycle and it seems that there isn't a permanent solution to get
rid of them. It is a cycle because these grub worms will soon mature and turn into adult beetles,
and again, laying eggs in your lawn or garden that soon will become grub worms.
Natural way to Getting Rid of Grub Worms Here are the steps to rid your lawn or garden of
these grub worms naturally:

1. You already know you have a grub worm problem, now you have to determine when the
beetles start laying their eggs.

2. Nematodes are the natural enemies of grub worms. They infest and kill these pests.
However, they are only effective on young larvae. This is where your research will come
in. Once it is the season of beetles to lay their eggs, purchase nematodes from a gardening
store and follow the instructions indicated. Spray on your lawn or garden.

3. To offset the damage caused by the grub worms, keep your garden or lawn watered.
Abundant water will make the damaged roots easily absorb water.

4. Robins and other songbirds love grub worms. Have them in your garden and you will
have to worry less about those pests. This is probably the best long-term solution you
have.

Grub worms are serious pests especially to those gardening enthusiasts. These solutions will help
you get rid, or at least keep the grub worms under control.
