How do I deal with Chafer Grubs?
Following a long period of time with no chemical control, an insecticide is now available to be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan, along with nematodes, for the control of Chafer Grubs.
Nematodes are microscopic organisms when, if used correctly, can be applied to the soil to seek out the chafer grubs to attack them. There is a limited period of use for nematodes which can been seen on the chart below.
Other than the nematodes, setting up pheromone traps at certain times of year is an alternate method of control. The pheromone trap entices the male adult beetle into the trap instead of mating with the female beetle. As the chafer grubs live in a three year life cycle, if you are able to gradually reduce the number of eggs being laid, you will reduce the population in the soil and damage to your lawn.
