Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Treatment Working?
The treatment works by our application of granules pre-spring, which is absorbed and makes the roots toxic to the grubs. Then, in the springtime, it is essential to spray the grub treatment to ensure all life cycles of the grub are eliminated.
What Steps to Take After Treatment?
After your lawn has been treated for grubs, water the lawn for proper treatment absorption if no rain is expected.
When to Book Treatment?
We recommend to book early for the best results. The ideal time for a spray treatment is in spring (late May to early June), when grubs are in the larval stage and actively feeding as this ensures maximum elimination. We recommend annual treatments to remove all grubs and prevent reinfestation from neighboring lawns.
For heavier infestations or extra preventative protection, we recommend The Full Treatment. We start with a granular application in early spring, followed by a spring spray treatment. This two-step approach delivers the most effective and long-lasting control.
Can I Book Treatments Anytime?
You can book a Spray Treatment at any time of year, and it will effectively target active grubs feeding on your lawn’s roots. However, we recommend scheduling treatments in spring, especially the Full Treatment, because this is the most effective time for maximum grub elimination due to the Chafer beetle’s life cycle.
​
Many customers choose to book a Full Treatment to control an active infestation immediately, then follow up with the Spray Treatment the next spring for long-term protection.
Can I Treat Grubs Myself?
Any publicly available grub treatments do not contain the effective amount or correct combination of insecticides to effectively eliminate the Chafer grub. The only effective treatments available can only be used and purchased by a licensed and certified applicator. Our specialized grub treatments are friendly to pets, people, honeybees, and non-targeted insects.
What to Expect
Allow 2-4 weeks for the treatment to absorb into the root system. In the following months, you may see crows and raccoons on your lawn checking in to see if there is still the buffet of grubs to eat from. When they learn there are better resources elsewhere, they will move on to more attractive options.
How Long Does Treatment Last?
The treatment will last upwards of six to nine months, with recommended application once a year at minimum. For best results, encouraging your neighbors to get their lawns treated is highly effective in stopping the spread.
