We have the white grubs, too, and last week I spread 30# of "Grub Control" on the lawn. "Grub Control" was the big lettering on the two 15# sacks I bought at Home Depot, and I've already forgotten who made it. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Just hope it works.
I used to use Diazinon before they took it off the market and have yet to use "Merit" but all the info & ag reports claim it is the "Cats' Meow" for controlling Grubs in this day & time.
I used Miracle Gro fertilizer and weed killer year before last and it did an excellent job of killing the weeds.
Last year I couldn't find the Miracle Gro so I tried Scott's fertilizer with weed killer and it didn't do anything to the weeds. I was very disappointed with Scott's and will not use it again.
Wal Mart has the Miracle Gro but it seems like they only get about 1 shipment a year in so I am going to keep an eye on them and when they get it this year I will buy enough to last all year long.
From what I read Dylox is a one shot treatment good in late August or Early September.
While Merit is to be applied in Mid-May to Mid-June at least that is for this area.
I do know Merit is pretty pricy at one place I called about it.Around $500.00 for enough to do my 40,000 square feet.
I will admit though they are high at Fayette Seed in Lexington,Ky.
Liquid Merit would be great : a lot simpler to distribute for me as i don't get around all that well anymore.
I will have to look into that or make a trip to Ma. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
