I have others suggest spredding lyme....I know it works on spiders...not sure about grubs ;-) sorry it doesn't exactly fit, but may be a benefit
Okay I picked up some detergent last night. Now I guess I need to wait untill early fall to use it or can I use it now?
As i said in previous post, use any time there is an infestation. Do not confuse insecticidal soaps or dormant use products with the detergent.
As to the sevin dust, get a cloth sack fill half way and shake it over the tomato's, it will keep all the critters off the tomato's and won't hurt them. Just make sure you wash them good after picking. Sevin dust, an white lime will work wonders on your yard killing every thing crawling, after you give it a light wetting. Its stops their ability to to take in oxegen, so they all suffocate.
P.S. make sure while handling Sevin you wear rubber gloves, you don't want alot of this soaking into your pores!!!

Well I tried the detergent. Use about half a box on an area the size of my living room. I then turned the sprinkler on it for an hour or so and I can't tell anything happened, no grubs came up but maybe they died underground.
Turn off the security lights and the June bugs won't lay their eggs in your yard.
June bugs can mate and lay eggs in the dark.
Seriously, though, I don't have a security light on my place, haven't for 20 years. About every three years, I'll have a grub infestation, and I'll treat with detergent. June bugs were around long before security lights, although lights do attract them.
I don't know if I pit the detergent on heavy enough. It looked like a pretty good covering but no grubs came to the surface. I don't know if I wasted my time or not, I suppose I could dig and see if they are dead or not. Also starting to see several sicada wasps borrowing.
Glad you asked, I have been dying to know.
