Mistake 1 is proper identification. The terms "I have grubs" has turned into a generic turn where an individual finds a problem spot in the yard. A simple pull test will help you find out if you have bugs in the lawn. You will physically find grubs if you have them.
Mistake 2 - Not applying a preventive application. Preventive applications are made easy with syngenta's Acelepryn. This is a one app per season type of product that has both preventive and curative action. That's right, it kills grubs and also kills larvae and the adults laying the eggs like billbugs, japanese beetles, chaffer bugs and more.

So crazy: I had a 22 yr old lawn and did some work on it 2 years ago to make it better, but this year the lawn was torn up by birds due to grubs. Thanks for the help
@@alandickson1629 glad you figured it out
Can we talk about the mountains behind you !???OmG!!! amazing !! Where do you live !????
Utah!
I had no idea I had grubs last year. My entire back lawn is ruined now. That grass pulled up quicker than Wimpy getting a burger on Tuesday! Now the fun of leveling and reseeding.
super crappy! but at least now your lawn will be level!
Local utah resident here, best time of year. Things are blooming, green grass, snow capped mountains. Utah is the best. When you apply the solution, do you have to wait a certain amount of time after you have already put down your spring fertilizer, or can they be done close together?
Great question. It can all go down together
Just put down my grub app this week. Had a big issue many many years ago when I was a rookie lawn care enthusiast. I went the spray method this year.
Right on!
Love this video, thank you! Please do one about ants!
happy to ! thanks for the suggestion!
My grass around the mostly around the curb started dying quickly after strips of new sod was added..and then the dying brown grass affect started increasing.
could be as simple as a head being burried, not enough water, or an over watering fungus.
I have grubs since 2020 (luckily not every year) and can't properly get rid of them, pesticides not allowed in Europe😬. Nematodes might be another option... European grubs seem to like fine fescue more than any other grass type, did you have such experience?
Come to Saratoga springs and diagnose my lawn. It doesn’t want to grow and it always brown. I need the ginja
social media is the best way to get ahold of me
I'll have to keep this product in mind for next season to try out. I have Duocide on hand mainly for tick mitigation, and the grub mitigation as a big side benefit..but their directions I find are kinda sketchy (it says to wait for an infestation then use the product, which I didn't know..and I'll be applying anyways once our temps come back up).
What I really want also is something to control those Chinese lantern flies. I used Demand CS at the mixing rate in sygenta's memo, but they just persisted on some of my trees. So far I haven't seen any larvae yet, they way I did last season this time.
nothing wrong with duicide. i've used it before. as for the labels...... many times its a pay to play system due to regulations and liability. with that said demand is a fantastic product. its got a little miticide action to it, when applied correctly i've seen it work up to 90 days, in ideal conditions, as the label states. however for flying insects i've found using the lower rates and more consistent spraying works best. thanks for sharing your experience.
In late Summer of '08 I found some dead spots in the lawn. Pulled up like a carpet that wasn't tacked down. I figured I would just replace the few spots with new sod. A few hours later my whole lawn was gone lol. That was my first sod project that I did myself and lasted until 2021 when it was time to get a new lawn and I was too old to do myself. I know you did offer 🙏🏻, maybe in 2034 😂😂😂👍🏻💚🦸🏻
100% got your back!!! 👊😀
Love your info. You are obviously a professional. So, why do you seem to always be applying pesticides without proper, waterproof footwear? Surely you realize that the soles of ones feet are primary absorption sites?
Not sure what you’re talking about
Yeah, those grubs were no fun! Thanks for the spray, I hope to never see those little buggers again. I’ll keep you posted!
100%, japanese beetles are the worst!
@@pestandlawnginja totally, those grubs you showed in the video were exactly what I had! Hopefully I've seen the last of those bad boys.
@@phuchotruonghoai9479 happy for you
You’re amazing. As usual. The brown beetles were on my flowers last night. It was horror movie level shocking amounts. What to do about flower beds? 😮
you can use the same treatments i believe. be sure to read the labels but its not uncommon with these active ingredients. the manufacturer of 7 uses the same actives and rated for flower beds.
Great video! So true they pesky things keep coming back year after year. I do have a question how soon after grub prevention can I put a weed and seed down?
same day. no issues in my opinion. I did it on my own lawn that way.
How safe is it to use around pets?
great question. that is one thing that's not commonly listed on a label. Having been in the pest control world for 20 years here's my 2c. this type of product is a stem driven product. if your animals aren't grazers, meaning they eat the grass non stop, you'll be good. most side effects come from inhalation and getting sprayed directly. I too have pets and this is also important to me. what I do is I keep my animals off the grass until after it dries. when I have an animal that loves to eat the grass I keep them off of it until i mow 1 or two times. Hope that helps.
@@pestandlawnginja I'm willing to bet the animal that eats grass is your English bulldog. I've got four of them! 🤣
@@pestandlawnginja thx!!
I have a ? Do you know how many years it takes for
Sod web worms to flush completely out of a yard I put sevin down each year for like 4 years and still coming back
I'm trying to remember what I put down on my lawn at the previous address the three years prior. I was picking up all kinds of skills there! including: becoming a high tech gofer catcher lol. last year I caught 14 of those things with the victor black boxes that I was able to buy from Home Depot for 15 dollars. I bought six lol. I caught so many of them in the first few weeks that they got smart and stopped making the mounds all over my beautiful lawn. Instead, I would find holes, or usually it was my dog Maximus that would spot the holes, and I would dig, set the trap and within an hour, I usually had it. the first three I caught were within 10 minutes of setting the trap! They do get smart, so you have to be clever haha. Thought I would throw in that story for entertainment haha
Rad! Love the fact you figured it out
@@pestandlawnginja I learned 99% of my lawn care skills from you my man! Truth! I still use Quinclorac Tenacity and T-Zone for my go to! when it comes to Poa Annua I did figure out to use Image, which I got from Home Depot, but I get whatever it was off of Amazon and I had earth warms laying on top of the ground by the hundreds after a couple good rains soaked it into the ground! I'm not joking. I think that was why I had so many Gofers, and that was a motivator to kill all worms lol. Anyway, I have you to thank for most of my lawn skills! big shout out to you my man!
@@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736 I believe it! Love the feedback. Appreciate all your support
Looks like I have a new tool in the arsenal. Thanks brother!
👊🏻🥳
Jared treating cranberry girdlers/billbugs and was told by USU to treat them like grubs. While researching, Michigan State had an article which said imidacloprid will consistently reduce 75-100% of the grubs whereas chlorantraniliprole is 65-80%. What is your real-world experience with the effectiveness of both these insecticides for treating billbugs and cranberry girdlers? It would be nice to treat once with chlorantraniliprole.
I wish I could tell you about the efficiency with cranberry girdlers.
I’ve had a great experience with imidacloprid efficiency over the past 14 years. It works great against grubs. With that said in our area the cranberry girdlers commonly hit in mid to late august. When we put our preventive imidacloprid treatments down in may there wasn’t enough residual to carry through.
When they hit they go through lawns fast. We commonly use a repellent to control them since they’re closer to the surface. Hope that helps
@@pestandlawnginja Thanks Jared, that helps. Would it be a good idea to apply GrubEX with chlorantraniliprole now and Bayer Complete Insect Killer with imidacloprid late July for fuller coverage?
First Aussie 😁. Ginja, love the mountain with snow backdrops.😎
my dude! thanks for dropping the comment!
Great video! Any suggestions for mole cricket prevention?
ewe.... that's a tough one. due to there nature of how get from house to house I would start by using a permethrin granular monthly during the heavy months.
As always, good lessons.
Thanks! 😃
I just found grubs in my tall fescue after over seeding and aeration. Can I put something down now that won’t hurt my grass
if you have a history of grubs I recommend the products I put in the description of the video.
Hello Mister Ginja you videos are unique
Thanks brother!!!
I use a combo of Bayer Grub killer plus to kill live grubs and Scotts GrubEx for multi month control. I dont mind the extra application once every 3 months. But any experience on their effectiveness?
syngenta is name brand. it works as described. I've been very pleased with it.
Acelepryn is insanely expensive. It's over twice the cost of GrubEx. Yea it's more potent but it's supposed to be cheaper than granules since it's a mix your own type of
Prevention is key I agree
👊😀
If prevention is the key then out with the turf grass and in with the artificial turf grass , let them grubs eat plastic roots 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤔
Which one should I but? You posted one granular option, but 2 liquid options, out of the liquid 2 , what's the difference?
liquid can be faster acting
I have already been using these. Do you know if they will make more of their products available in this size? I think there is huge potential for them to make more in the home market.
yes! they have quiete a few as of now. barricade, acelepryn, tenacity, demand cs . love these little guys.
@@pestandlawnginja do they plan to add more?
@@lvond555 as far as i had been informed.
@@pestandlawnginja Thanks for the info!
I too worry about the dogs because my Frenchie LOVES to grub for, well…GRUBS?!! He even picks up the dried worms from n the concrete! 😱🤢
Totally understandable. Love our furry friends
If you're using the new GrubEx, it's got the same active ingredient (Chlorantraniliprole). Difference though is it's granular.
Have you had any compatibility issues with liquid fertilizers or herbicides, if you've mixed this with any?
none so far. its been a great product so far. mixes well with pre emergents and liquid fertilizer well.
If I have not had trouble with grubs do I still need to apply something just to protect my lawn from getting them?
its wise. 20% of all lawns will end up with grubs. preventive measures help a ton. but i also feel less is more if you're proactive.
Thanks for the video ! I'm in NJ is this a treatment I should do as a preventive measure anyway ? Thanks !👍
Yup. Think of it as an insurance policy for your lawn. 😃
@@pestandlawnginja thanks for the advice ! 👍
What tip are you using on your backpack sprayer in this video? I remember you doing a video on the Lesco rainhead, but this one definitely isn’t that. Thx
This is the oem cone sprayer that comes with the backpack.
My label doesn't mention a second application. Should i still do it?
@@mariebee3146 check the state of the grubs. If your finding them alive then you'll need a second one
Gija
How do you repair damage on grass from herbicide
get a bag of revive granualar. two mowes better you should be good if you didn't have extensive damages. for extensive damages i use commercial product by mixing 4oz essential plus 1 0 1 and sodium knockout 5 0 0
That background @ 1:25 !!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
👊😀
Do you recommend this product when I did a spring overseed?
Absolutely! I did mine
How can I tell the difference between lawn spider mites and grubs? Live in Colorado and the snow has melted and I have yellow spots on the lawn. Help! 😨
Is it too early for grubs to pop up? It snowed 1 week ago in the burbs.
The nice thing is our areas are almost identical. You will physically see the bugs. if you get down on the lawn you'll find your answer. As i posted in this video the pull test is the most important aspect. I would suggest you watch my video on snow mold as well. most lawns, due to the amount of snow we received, have some areas of snow mold.
Grubs in our areas come in two types, billbug grubs that overwinter in the adult form and japanese beetles that overwinter in the larvae form. never hearts to use the products I listed in the video.
Perfeito 👏😃
mozao!
Nice video.
Thanks!
Does the kawn need to be cut shorter, like less than 3 inches, before applying GrubEX? Not sure if it matters or not.
Doesn’t matter as much as one would suppose. Dethatching would make the biggest difference
my soil at my new address this year is so bad, grub worms can't survive lol rofl. I wonder if they would help my soil haha
😅😅😅
Hi Ginja I need a consultation in Saratoga springs
If you could get back and arrange fees
Thank you
hit me up on instagram or facebook.
Saw Brian Mounts from Turf Mechanic vid on grub control. He said that Grub Ex which contains the same active ingredient is not as effective as imidacloprid. Is that in fact true?
there's going to be varying opinions on that. much of which will come down to the amount that's put down, the percentage of active ingredient, application rate , manufacturer etc.. but at best imidicloprid is rated 9 weeks to 12 weeks as a systemic through the plant.
@@pestandlawnginja makes sense.Thank you.
I got small little dirt mounds in my lawn is this grubs.
commonly earth worms do the mounding.
how many square feet will a 25 pound bag of granular’s do?
the more aggressive treatments run about 2lbs per 1000 sq ft for turf. gives us roughly 12,000 sqft of coverage on average per bag.
When is a good time to put down disease X or fungicide?
Preventives are commonly beat when the outside temps plus humidity reaches around 140-150
@@pestandlawnginja how do you gauge humidity + temp?
@@Spaceballs23 90 degrees plus 50% humid
I am looking for a ground kill for my RV pad. Looking at Home Depot for big quantities and everything is not that big and I have never had good luck. What do you recommend?
depends on what is around the rv pad. if there is no trees within 12 to 15 feet you can do a soil sterelant called bare spot. you'll still have to treat every 3 to 6 months. other than that I would treat every other month with a cobination of a glyphosate product like erase, duo stick surfactant, and dimension 2ew, as directed by the labels.
@@pestandlawnginja is it liquid?
There is no tree around
Does it work for mole cricket ?
no mention on the lable. I haven't tried it myself.
How to get rid of slugs?
Bait is the best way unfortunately😿
1:40 Yeah, maybe that’s just not for you

Lord. Don’t get me started on grubs. Someone locally recommended milky spore. And grubs ate my yard last year since I got lax on applications.
man that stinks. that is the downside to milky spore. Have to be dilligent in the applications.
@@pestandlawnginja good to know. 🥷
grubs are actually pretty easy to recover from-
when you act fast it can be for sure.

Will this control chinch bugs? I learned my lesson on those bastards
Chinch bugs are listed as suppression on the label 🏷
