    What steps have you taken to get rid of Grubs? what were the results and how long did it take?

    Have you ever tried of Milky Spore to get rid of Grubs? if so did you have good results?

    If been told by several people you get rid of the grubs you get rid of the moles - thats their food source.
    Plus once the grubs are gone I should have better luck growing grass.

    thanks

    Milky Spore or parasitic nematodes will work, but they'll take a while. The ranges my sources give range from 2 to 5 years! Getting rid of the grubs will also get rid of the moles (and skunks and armadillos too)

    For more milky Spore info try these sites:

    For more parasitic nematode info try these: (these are all universities, not selling anything - love'em)

    Hope this helped.

    Peace,
