Merit Grub Prevention
Grubs show up in well kept lawns for one reason: to fatten themselves up by eating the roots of your grass. Grubs feed underground and out of site. They don't really care if your grass dies in the process, but we do. Let us prevent these unwelcome dinner guests from causing severe damage and turf loss on your property!
Problem: Grubs will feed in the spring and late summer and early fall. Spring damage is usually not a major concern because spring rains usually mask any damage grubs will do at this time. Late summer and fall is when the majority of damage will show. Yellowing and brown areas will start to appear in large irregular patches. Because grubs feed on the root system, these patches will pull up easily and may roll up like carpeting.
Analysis: Because grubs feed out of sight, by the time damage is evident, it may be too late. The best solution for grubs is to insure they will never do damage in the first place. This is accomplished by applying a product called Merit to your lawn in late spring and summer, before the fall damage can take place. Merit is a preventative insecticide, which means it must be applied prior to their major feeding activity.
