This hardy dude was chilling on our flower bed, getting a little sun. I helped him find his way back to his hole in case he wanted in, which he did after a few minutes. I’m stoked we have some worms that have avoided the Bird-isaster.

Question by peppermint_ee: I have white worms under my grass bed, any ideas on how to get rid of them?
I have white harmful worms under the surface of the grass that are eating our grassroots. What can I use to get rid of it? I know that places like Home Depot and Lowes sell things that will treat this problem, but I don’t know what. Help please!

  1. Well duh!

    If you know that places like Home Depot and Lowes sell things that will treat this problem, why not just go to one of them and talk to them in person. There are several ways to control “Grubs” in your yard and someone there can show you all of them.

  3. White grubs are the larva of several kinds of beetles and there are as many treatments as there are species of grubs. Different grasses are more resistant than others and there has been limited success with bacterial treatments like milky spore. Some insecticides work on some grubs and different products work on others. Without knowing which pest you are dealing with your best bet is a wide spectrum insecticide such as products containing Diazinon or brand names such as MOCAP and TURCAM.

  4. You need to put down some grub-X and lime wun’t hurt and if you can get to Home Depot look for something call Milorganite it’s a Organic Nitrogen Fertilizer works great you may put this down wet or dry it will help the roots in your lawn, if you can still buy a bag of winter Fertilizer that would be a good ideal as will.

    Good luck
