Great video, thanks for keeping it clean, explained very well. These two products work I've used them for years.
Thank you, I appreciate it. I have had a ton of success with them as well. I use them every year!!
Good demonstration of what grub damage is
Thank you sir!! I had more this year than since 2017 when I had a massive infestation in my backyard!! You could even see it on Google Maps, before they updated it....THANK GOODNESS!! Jeremy of the Greener Lawn even mentioned it last year!! LOL Thanks for the comment!
Awesome video, Taking your advice. Thanks
My apologies for not responding earlier. I have been crazy busy the last 3 months and have been a little neglectful to responding to comments. Been remodeling my daughter's recently purchased home. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Great tips! Thank you so much
Luis, you are most welcome. I hope that they were helpful. Best of luck in the lawn this year. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Good tips my man! Grubs can definetly be detrimental but if you catch it early the damage can be stopped
Yes, the problem is, I took my eye off the ball, and applied it a little later than I should have.
So needed to see this, my yard has been getting destroyed for a year and it’s infested w those grubs.
I am glad it was able to help you. Battling grubs, sod webworms and army worms is a constant yearly battle here. I hope this will help with the problem. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Thanks champ.
No problem 👍
Thanks the video was very helpful. Question though. If the have killed my grass should I buy plots and redo the area
Lashun you are most welcome. It depends on the type of grass you have. For example Kentucky Blue Grass Is extremely good at self repairing and can do so with smaller areas quite quickly. If a larger area has been damaged, it wouldn’t hurt to clear the dead debris out and re-seed the area for a faster recovery. If you have a warm season turf that you think would be best served by putting plugs of the same down, this can an even more rapid solution for you as well. Again this is usually dependent on your grass type. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Loving your videos. Just replaced a bunch of sprinklers with MP Rotators. The issue I'm having is distinguishing between Necrotic Ring Spot and grubs. As you may know, ring spot is rampant in Utah. From the research I've done, what you have in your yard looks just like the photos they show for ring spot, which also look like the photos you can find online for grubs. And, both issues seem to allow the grass to be easily pulled up. Currently, 80% of my front yard is dead and we're not sure if it's grubs or ring spot (or both) because it all looks the same. I started the first of three applications of Ring to Green, which is supposed to be the best thing for killing this fungus, along with proper watering. Tough to know whether to apply that as well as grub killer. Any thoughts? Would be very interested to hear what you have to say about ring spot and Ring to Green. Thanks!
Wes, I have found that more often than not, we have a massive grub/sod webworm/army worm issue in Utah. I have to admit that I have not ever had Necrotic Ring Spot. I do use an application of Scott's Disease-X that helps to avoid those issues. But I have heard a few good things about the Ring to Green, but alas have never used it. To really know which it is. I would suggest digging up a spot and I would put some money on that the issue is a infestation of those stinking pests. They are ruthless and can make a yard go south in very little time. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Yo your lawn looks amazing. I live in Philadelphia Pa, grubs destroyed my lawn. What can I do now to repair it, I have a service but that didn't help. Desperately needing help.
Rita, thank you for the compliment. I must admit that lawn pests are always a struggle to deal with. In fact I just got done fighting off an army worm infestation. It tore up few spots in my yard pretty well. As far as repairing the spots, there are a few options. 1) If you have a grass type like Kentucky Bluegrass, it can spread and heal itself.....eventually. 2) If you know your grass type, you can purchase a like type seed and remove the dead grass, top dress with some soil and re-seed, should see some filling back in a few weeks. 3) There is a product called Turfmend, that has all the previously mentioned items but all mixed together, and they do have grass type specific blends. But with the last 2 methods, you will have to keep the seed damp to prompt germination. I hope that helps. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
I have a small patch of garden area (with mulch on top) that is infested by these bugs, but I don't have a lawn spreader. If i manually spread them with a cup, how much do you think i would need to spread? and I believe after I spread them, I should water it in? TIA!
You could use a cup. But if you look on your local online classifieds (i.e. craigslist, Facebook marketplace) you should be able to find something relatively cheap. Yes it does require you to water in the product to take effect. (usually about .5 inch should do) Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Great video. Question - if short term stuff is basically higher dosage same ingredients as the long terms stuff (I could be wrong but thats what I have been reading) why would you need to follow up with long term after using short term? If the short term wears off quickly why wouldn't the long term wear off if it is simply a lower dosage? Just trying to get a grasp on why you cannot use the Grub killer as a grub preventer?
Hi Marty sorry for the delay in the response. Life gets pretty busy. My apologies. In answer to your question the 24 hour killer (short term) has 9.3% Trichlorfon as it's main active ingredient that gives it the potency to eradicate the grubs in a much faster fashion. The Complete Insect Killer (Long term prevention) contains 0.72% Imidacloprid; 0.36% Beta-cyfluthrin and as such they each use these different active ingredients to work at instantly removing or preventing grubs and other listed (on the label) pests that can harm your lawn. I hope this helped if you have any other questions please feel free to ask. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
We had a lawn service for 3 years and exactly what our lawn looks like.
Yes I have similar results in others lawns after they have gone with a "lawn service" provider. Problem is....I rarely see good results with using these services. I have seen much better results using and applying the products that I put down. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Thank you! I just used this product. I have grubs bad. What do you put in the flower beds for grubs? Also, is it okay to mix this with the 5-1 Bioadvanced weed and feed?
You should be able to use it in flower beds to clear out grubs. But admittedly I have never done so. I have only ever applied it to the lawn. Certainly I would never apply it to any garden areas that I may be consuming the edible items from said garden. But flowers, as long as they are not being consumed, should be fine. Always double check the label before proceeding . In regards to mixing it in with a weed and feed FOR THE LAWN ONLY, I would imagine you could, but with adding it you are going to be throwing off the application rates of both, as your mix will be half fert and half grub killer. IF you feel you can calculate it correctly, then have at it. But as for me, I am too worried that the app rate would be off. So I would take the time to apply them separately. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
They have really damaged my yard the last two years. Put down grubex this spring, hoping to get ahead of the problem
Yes, they can be extremely destructive little things. It seems like every year it gets a little harder to control them. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Is triazicide granules any good for grubs if used at a higher coverage rate than what the bag says?
JHamm I have had mixed results with the triazicide granules. I saw great success one year using it and the next it was as if I never put anything down. Could certainly be "user error"!! LOL Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Can I use the insect killer and than over seed a few days later? Or is it bad for over seeding that soon/close to using it?
You should be able to lay insect killer down at any time and not cause a problem. I have never used it so close to overseeding. The are no Pre-emergent properties in the insect killer (like prodiamine) so you should be fine. The only thing that I would think is that it would be best to kill off any insects that may consume the seedling roots. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Great information,i just put down weed and feed now how long should I wait to put down the grub killer???
Thank you. Depending on where you live I would say that around Mid May would be a reasonable time to put down the 24 Hour Killer, and then I usually put down the season long control the 1st week of June. That usually does the trick, for me, to keep the grubs at bay for the season. I have had a time or two where the seasonal somehow missed a small section or it didn't get watered in right, and I began to see some areas that got hit & I did another app of Insta-Kill. Which finished them off, just right. But that was due to my not paying attention.
Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
@The Highlander Lawn I'm in Jersey,now i never saw grubs but the skunks tear up my front and back yard so that leads me to believe i have grubs,much appreciated...
Wish we had these products in Canada.
Yes they are getting "banned" in WA state as well. Unless you "KNOW" people!! LOL LOL
What can you do if damage is done already? When is a good time to reseed?
Ady, unfortunately when the damage is done there are only a few options, once the grubs have been eliminated. 1- you can allow the lawn to repair itself, but this does take some time for the rhizomes (cool season turf rooting) to repair and fill in. (Unfortunately I am rarely that patient, 😬😬😬🤣) so I usually go with 2) seeding the area (but we are at the tail end of the season and most likely depending on your soil temps (55+) it may not germinate until spring so I would wait until then just to avoid the seed being washed away) 3 - Plugging - if the grub damage is in an area that is visible and is driving you nuts to look at. Take a few plugs from an area that is less visible and swap them. I have done this with urine spots from dogs as well. I did do a video on that last season if you are looking for a quick how to. I hope this helps. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future. Best of luck
My yard has them so bad To where the adult beetle Fly’s on you I just bought A whole bunch of stuff to kill them from Home Depot i’ve never had them before ever Or if I did I didn’t notice
Well I hope that you will be able to eradicate them this year. I know that the routine of applying Grub killer here in my yard has just come down to a yearly battle and I have come to accept it. But the alternative is to allow them to chew up the roots of the lawn and cause widespread destruction everywhere, so if it harms the turf....I say "Kill it!!" LOL. Thank you for the comment , I hope to hear from you in the future.
Is October 3rd for cool season 😎 grass to late for 24 Grub Killer?
No sir. You could put that down at almost any time of the year that the grass is actively growing or just moving into / or coming out of dormancy. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
What was that bug that you said was the culprit for laying the eggs? It looked like a moth? I have seen a lot of those come out of the grass when I am watering. I just thought they were moths of some kind.
They are the adult stage of sod webworms aka “lawn moths”. They are usually busy laying eggs in your lawn that will hatch and their young look like a caterpillar more than a worm. They feed on your turf grass and the damage they inflict will cause your grass to look as though you just dropped your mower too low and “scalped” it, as well as brown patchy spots. You can use the products in the video to help in controlling them. I hoped this helps. Thank you for the comment I hope to hear from you in the future.
@@TheHighlanderLawn thank you for the information! I had no idea about this kind of bug. I always see them coming out of my grass when I am watering. I threw down some Triazicide because I noticed a lot of cockroaches at night! Then I noticed a patch of yellowing grass when I was watering. Noticed a June bug came up because of the water and I determined that grubs are the culprit. Is Triazicide good to kill these insects (moths, cockroaches, grubs)? The package says it will kill them but was wondering your opinion on it.
@@mrslisaloves I don't deal with cockroaches here as much in Utah!! (Thank goodness). I have used Triazicide several times and have seen decent results. My biggest culprit that I deal with most is sod webworms (moths), then grubs from time to time, and I have had one attack of army worms that nearly destroyed my front lawn in just a couple of hours. I have used the Bioadvanced (24 hour killer and Complete season long styles) and Scott's Grub Ex as well as using Bifentherin (mainly helps with mosquitos but does help kill off other bugs and pests spiders, etc.) but be careful if you use bifentherin, it will kill honeybees just an FYI. Thank you so much for the reply. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Are you supposed to water the bio advance in ?
Yes, they will need to be watered in, shortly after application with about a 1/2 inch of water. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Hello! It’s around August 18, and grubs have demolished the better part of my yard. I recently just moved in and the grubs weren’t taken care of prior to when moved in, however it’s pretty late in the season so should I still put down the 24 hour grub killer as well as the long term killer?
If you are having issues with grubs, my suggestion would always be to slay them as fast as you can. So I would apply the 24 hour grub killer and then as preventative into the fall, I would still apply the seasonal application a week or so later. I hope that helps, sorry for the delayed response. I have been busy with my normal “day job”. Thank you for the comment, I hope to hear from you in the future!!
I have a grub problem in September, they are very tiny but they are there, it says the seasonal grub killer works immediately, what gives?
This is happening to my daughter's plot at the cemetery. 😢 The other plots grass at the cemetery near hers looks good. Why does this only seem to be happening to her plot? I've heard if I lay down grub killer that it could kill what grass is left because it's basically only a 6 foot area and I'd only be guesstimating on how much grub killer to lay. I'm so confused on what to do. This is my child's final resting place and it breaks my heart to see her grass look this way. Any information you can give me would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you. ❣️
First of all, I am very sorry for your loss. That is a VERY hard experience, and my heart goes out to you. It appears as though, to this day mom is taking care of her daughter.
Grubs can appear anywhere, they will soon make their way to other areas of the cemetery. If you lay down any grub killer it shouldn't hurt the grass (unless you use the entire bag on the small square footage of her plot. But you're not doing that so it shouldn't be a problem). On the bag it should state how much to use on a per 1000 sq feet. I would measure that amount out and use a small hand spreader (like a Scott's, etc) and then spread it in what is obviously no more than a 100 sq ft (10 ft x 10 ft) so in essence you're not using a ton of product. Please keep in mind that where the damage appears to be....the grubs/pests eating the grass / roots have moved on and are currently in the areas outside of the visibly damaged area. So it would not hurt to spread the product to cover just outside her plot and blanket coverage the entire plot, and maybe apply just a little extra to the areas just outside the damaged spots. This is most likely where the grubs / pests are currently residing and the visible damage is forthcoming.
As far as the grass repairing itself and filling back in the damaged areas, this can take some time to do it on it's own. If you are looking for a quicker solution, there are "patch seed kits" that have seed and product to assist in recovery, but some are Not so good. If you can find Turfmend products in your area that sell smaller bags (like 5# or so) their product is very good and works quickly to restore the bare areas. I do not know where you are at in the country but here is the url to their distributor map www.turfmend.com/distributors and when you highlight the state that you live in it will give you a list. I do know that they are in some Home Depot locations, but not all. as of yet.
I hope that this helps, I apologize for the long winded explanation. Thank you for your comment. I hope to hear from you in the future. Best regards, Ryan (THL)
@TheHighlanderLawn
Thank you so much for getting back to me. I'm taking your advice and gonna get busy saving her grass. I'm in Indiana, about 20 minutes away from downtown Chicago. Hot summers. Cold winters. It's just unreal the damage that those icky grub worms can cause, but their not gonna stop me!! 😉 I'm going in full force and taking your advice. My baby was only 18 years old when she passed. The pain is indescribable. Seeing her plot like this adds to the sadness. She's always been a very laid back kid. I can hear her telling me not to be so upset over grass, but mom is upset. Thank you again for getting back to me. I appreciate your advice soooo much! I'll definitely keep you updated. God bless you! ❤️
My pleasure. I hope that this helps.
How long do children and pets have to stay off of the lawn after treatment?
It’s always best to check the label on whichever grub treatment you choose to go with. With the Bio-Advanced complete (seasonal) it states that kids and pets can go back out on it as soon as the application has been watered in and allowed to dry. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Sounds good but will the grub killer, kill the robins feeding on them.
Hello Steve, it is possible that the robins, or any birds for that matter , that may be prone to feed on ground insects may have an ill effect if they consume them. I have not experienced seeing any of the birds in my local area prowling around the affected areas and there were no signs (i.e. beak marks in the soil ) that birds were feeding on them. So I believe it's possible, but that would be a very small chance of it happening. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
@@TheHighlanderLawn thanks, much appreciated
Can grub damage be spread lawn to lawn just by cutting?
Scott, I have never experienced that. And I HIGHLY doubt that it is possible. Most of the various grubs are the larvae of insects that have the ability of flight, (June bugs, Japanese Beetles, European Chafers, ETC) so they can lay eggs in your soil in various different locations. There is also a the other varieties of lawn damaging larvae like sod webworms (lawn moths), army worms, chinch bugs and on and on. If you are experiencing grubs in multiple locations, it is not spread by mowing the lawn, but by the adult insects laying eggs in multiple locales in your lawn. This year has been the absolute worst that I have experienced. Normally I do a spring application and a fall app. But this year I am going to finish out with 7 applications, which is absolutely mind blowing. So if you are experiencing this it is certainly beyond the norm. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
@@TheHighlanderLawn thank you for responding what advice would you give someone like me who wants to learn fertilizing but doesn’t want to be responsible for ruining someone’s yard if you do it wrong or diagnose I mainly cut grass but I feel like most companies don’t do there customers l justice or is it just a long process with fertilization to be successful. I want customers to have nice lawns to cut.
Scott, I am sorry for the delayed response. My TB account only shows initial responses, and fails to show follow up questions. So please accept my humble apologies, I feel terrible about that. In regards to the fertilizing portion, I COMPLETELY agree that most companies are scams, If I am being honest. I have spoken to some former employees of those types of companies and they have told me that the solutions are watered down or just straight up water. Which makes me sick to think that people spend hard earned money on BS. But I will say that in regards to throwing down on your own. You can find a lot of success and pride in doing it on your own. I would suggest that you start on your own before applying to someone else's. And the best method to begin with is to "spoon feed" the lawn. This will allow for less likely to damage/ "burn" the lawn by putting much smaller amounts down at each application. (For example putting .25 of a pound of Nitrogen (the first number on the bag 24-0-4 for example) versus putting down the .75 to full 1 pound per 1000 square feet that the bag usually states. The spoon feed will not only slowly build the lawn and not allow it to be fed too heavily, but it does require more frequent applications. I usually do this in the heat from end of June - First of September. Plus if you can make the numbers work to where you are saving your customers money and still able to make it worth your time, you can improve your value and experience with these apps. I hope that helped. Thank you for the comment.
When are you doing that giveaway? I think it was a sun joe?
Dave. We are doing the giveaway at 2K subs. We were clipping right along but with the "dog days of summer" the sub count slowed a little. But we will be looking forward to the 2K mark hopefully very soon. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
@@TheHighlanderLawn awesome. I hope you fly by 2k soon
Don’t you water if after
Yes, you do. I did fail to mention that directly. Usually all "dry/granulated" product of any sort usually require a good watering to get it into the soil. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Weren't the beetles laying the eggs, not the moth?
The beetles are the adult source behind the grubs and the damage that they bring, and the moths are the adults that lay the eggs to produce the sod webworms. I had an obvious issue with grubs, but also could see clearly that I was heading the direction of having an issue with the sod webworms, in the near future. Thank you for your comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
I just bought this stuff! I was pulling a Purslane in the back yard and foumd 2 army worms. Pulled another Purslane and there were 6 army worms there!!! Cant wait to KILL THEM ALLL!!!😂💀🐛
Glad to hear that you were able to get ahead of the problem, before it became a major issue. Army worms are some of the worst lawn pests as they can decimate a lawn in days...if not hours. I had some last year and they tore up a good size patch in 3 hours. I did "KILL THEM ALL" and when it was done ..... "Let them die!!" LOL. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
The grubs aren't my problem!
it's the raccoons who try to dig up the grubs that are the actual problem. They end up leaving big mounds of soil all over the lawn.😅
I get how the raccoons are an issue for sure. But I guess if you take away the reason for them being their (the food source) then it may very well cure itself. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
@@TheHighlanderLawn yes, thank you. I made the comment just to bring to light the chain of events that can happen if you have grubs. Who knew how much there is to the world of lawns and yard maintenance 🙄.
You are applying a pesticide onto your lawn. Why didn't you wear any protection like gloves and a face mask?
I will wear PPE when I apply a liquid insecticide, but this is dry and does not go active until it is watered in, so there is no major concerns that would prompt me to wear any protective equipment like gloves and a face mask. Thank you for your comment.
Did you get vaccinated for Cov? If Yes, you have more poison in Your system them this Man will ever have spraying chemicals. Facts!
Home depot scotts Spreader sucks
Selection of a spreader and preference is usually specific to each of us. That little spreader does well on some apps, not so great on others. But I do have 5 different spreaders that I use for different applications. I guess to each their own. I hope you find the one that works great for you. Thank you for the comment.
I live in California. They will not sell it in California!
Both imidacloprid and products containing spinosad are registered for use on lawns in California. You can also choose from treatments such as neem or garlic for grub control, as these treatments deter root-feeding. I hope that helps.
@@TheHighlanderLawn Thanks for your reply! What brands can you recommend that contain imidacloprid and/or spinosad ingredients? Will they also kill the grubs within 24 hrs. or are they just for long term control?
Wayne, I need to apologize for the terribly late reply. The day after I had responded to your comment. We had a major death in the family and I have not been on YT since. Just trying to handle all the fallout over the last couple of months. In regards to your question and for frame of reference products containing imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, clothianidin or chlorantraniloprole will not control grubs in the spring. They are preventive products that work very well on newly hatched grubs present in July, but do not work well for large grubs found from September to May. I did go onto Lowes.com and chose stores in Southern CA that do carry the Bioadvanced Complete Insect Killer and Scott's Grub Ex. I am not sure where in CA you are from but I figured that Southern CA would be the most restrictive. So either they have relaxed their stance on these products and now allow them or with supply issues they may have been out of stock. I hope that this helps and once again I apologize for the delay in responding.
@@TheHighlanderLawn Thanks for your heartfelt informative reply. I'm so sorry for your loss of a family member. I'm in the S.F. Bay Area and was able to buy Grub-Ex here, which I will try. Thank you again, you've been very helpful!

Did it work?
Where is the fix damage to your lawn part? Do I have to pull the lawn up? Can I bring the damaged part back? Please don't put it in the tag line if you have no answers. Waste of my time.
There are usually 3 methods that can work. 1 - remove the dead material and allow it to repair itself. (This is the longest dependent on the size of damage) 2 - remove dead material and re-seed using a little topsoil or peat moss whilst keeping it damp. 3 - remove the dead material and place some sod plugs depending on how large the damage is. The damage will repair itself if the pests are eliminated. Grass is amazingly resilient and will work its way back, given everything it needs. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
A few questions I don’t know if you may be able to answer. 1) do you recommend granular which is what you used or spray and why? 2) if after application and you still see sod, webworm adults, i.e. the moths is it safe to assume application failed?
The granular is definitely easier, and as long as it is spread evenly, and once it is watered in. You should be just fine. The liquid can be effective but as with most liquids it may not be as easy to put down. If you are still seeing the moths you should be okay for the duration that the bag states that it will be effective. They are laying their eggs but if the treatment has been put down and is still potent, it should kill their larvae when they hatch. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
