Grub Control Services in Shelby Township, MI
Welcome to award-winning Master Gardener Lawn Care. We provide grub control in Macomb County, MI, and create REMARKABLE showcase lawns! Before we talk about controlling grub, we would like to mention that Master Gardener Lawn Care is a firm believer and active in the practice of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). IPM is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. Master Gardener Lawn Care is licensed to control grubs and other insects in your lawn. We use products that are highly recommended for this purpose.
First, it is important to realize that healthy turf, especially if there is plenty of rain in the spring and fall can support a grub population of 5 grubs per square foot with no visible turf damage. A lawn should be mowed at 3.5 to 4.0 inches in height and properly fertilized to maximize root growth. But if the grub population is high, or if there is a history of damage in an area, it may be necessary to consider using chemicals for grub control.
When chemical control is determined to be necessary, by discussions with our client and Master Gardener Lawn Care, we must decide which type of product is best for the situation. The two types are CURATIVE or PREVENTIVE control products. Curative compounds must be applied when the grubs are present and active in the Spring or Fall. Approaching grub control from the curative standpoint avoids unnecessary applications of chemicals, but is not as effective for a long period as the preventive products.
Preventive compounds must be applied at the time of egg hatching. There are preventive products that work very well on newly hatched grubs but do not work well for large grubs. The product needs to be applied and irrigated into the soil during late June or July. If applied in the spring or fall, they will have little or no effect on the grubs currently on the lawn and may degrade slightly by the time the grubs hatch-out in late July.
