Grub Worm Control in Lawn and Around Crepe Myrtles

Context

Low grub populations normal. Horse manure may attract. Species: Japanese beetle, June beetles, chafers, etc.

Preventive pesticides not recommended unless history of damage or adult activity seen.

Apply before mid-August (egg-laying period). Imidacloprid and isofenphos perform best.

Treat grubs only if damage confirmed or high risk. Timing (pre-August) and product choice (imidacloprid) are critical.
