February 8, 2010 - The GrassCutters offer Organic Grub Control
If Japanese beetle grubs are feeding on the roots of your lawn, causing unsightly brown patches and even extensive lawn damage, it’s time to use Mother Nature’s secret weapon: beneficial nematodes.
Beneficial nematodes, nature’s way to control Japanese beetle grubs, are microscopic worms that live in the soil. These nematodes actually infest and kill grubs by feeding on and reproducing within the grub’s body. In time, each grub in your lawn becomes a hatchery for 35,000 or more juvenile nematodes, which are ready to search for and destroy more grubs. The more grubs in your lawn, the more the nematode population increases.
And unlike the harsh chemicals often used to kill grubs, nematodes are harmless to humans, pets, birds, earthworms, bees and beneficial insects.
If you find your lawn under attack by grubs this summer, call The GrassCutters and we’ll stop them dead in their tracks-the organic way.
Nematodes eat grubs from the inside out
Well that is a very green way to handle grubs. There wouldn’t be no chemicals or something. That is a good and organic way to maintain the garden.
