This was a very well explained educational video of A to Z on grub management and lawn care. Great job in making this video, pales in comparison to others I've seen on the same subject.

I have grubs every year. Used Merit but failed to water it in the lawn. Lawn looks great here in Maryland. I want to get a head start on my yearly grub problem. I'll try your product for 7,000 sq ft lawn. Love your video.

I was just weeding the lawn at my new home and found soooooooooooo many grubs. I went right to this video. I’m glad I didn’t get too far into it without this step. Thanks

Love your property Doc! A true slice of heaven.

This guy is about to make my lawn look spectacular!

Nice garden, Doc!

Awesome advice Doc , thanks

I live in washington State, and this year, we started to see brown sporting the lawn. I'll look for them. Thanks

Funny that you mentioned DuoCIde in today's video. I had forgot to include it in my first order from The Anderson's and had to then go back and make an additional order for DuoCide and PGF 16-4-8. If I had of remembered to have ordered this product I would have been able to put it out on either the 24th or the 25th which would have been great timing. It arrived yesterday the 27th. I am trying to implement your Curtain of Death/JumpStart/Ugly Lawn fix and am wondering what changes I should make with this crazy weather we are currently having? If you are who I think you are please tell your brother Mark (Possum/The Legend that Killer said hello.

I wish you had a St Augustine lawn! I think this topic translates well though for us with warm season lawns

Don’t wash a mower deck, etc until it cools off. Good videos. Thanks!🇺🇸😎

Thanks for the video.

Thanks again brother

Thanks Doc

Great information. Appreciate the advice.

Last year is the first time I see those beetles in my yard, this year I saw about 2 inc grubs, now I know why some parts in the yard look burn. thanks for sharing :)

Hey Doc, could I use this process to kill grubs in my flower boxes and flower beds? Thanks

Thanks!

Doc. How about moles? Ever had mike issue? Have mikes that moved in and killing my lawn and beds

I now see the problem I'm experiencing. Tank you

What can I use in California? I see that I cannot order the duo cide to be delivered in California? What would you recommend. Thanks

I just treated my Bermuda lawn with Duocide at 4lbs/1,000. I ended up with a half of a 5 gallon bucket of dead grubs. Now I need to do the back yard.

Doc, does this apply to the folks with new/baby sod?

Around here the crows uproot big areas of people's yards looking for the grubs. They can make a mess but it comes back eventually. While making a new garden I came across a few but the crows haven't attacked my yard yet others around me have been plowed.

Have you made any videos on getting rid of Creeping charlie its spreading all over my yard.

I live on the coast of North Carolina, and I have a centipede grass. I’m not sure if I have grubs or not but it looks like I do. I had to garden beds for vegetables and flowers raised and spent a couple thousand got really sick. Had Florence come in and hit destroyed my backyard and I have not worked the garden beds. I have taken the pavers out and want to clear the property so that I can plant some trees back Any recommendations….

Do you have any advice on moles

Best fishing bait around, all fish love em.

What about mole crickets. What can I put down for those?

CA does permit Duocide. Any other alternatives for Bermuda hybrid in SoCAL?

Hey Doc, will that work with centipede also?

Is this product safe for raised beds? Will it harm Earthworms or any other good life in the beds?

Do grubs kill our fruit trees too? My grass looks horrible the last month or so here in Houston and I assume it’s grubs (will check). But can I still put the double kill if I have baby fruit trees planted all around? Than you!

DUO-Cide: What RATE (#/k[]’) do you use for Grubs? 4# or 8# ?

Have a skunk digging in my yard and was told it is looking for grubs. So I'm thinking if I get rid of the grubs, I will get rid of the skunk as well.

I've noticed my neighbours patch of grass 4 by 4 he had small thin leafed grass he used to get out there everyday fertiliser and trimming it with scissors. He spent so much time on his grass it seemed weird. My grass only 1.5 meters away I don't care about no fertiliser it gets mowed once a month it's always green never any brown patches but it is wide leafed tough grass called buffalo. He ripped up his patch due to grubs. Mine no change! Could it be the type of grass that's the problem???

Can you get this product in Canada ✌️👍🇨🇦

I can't seem to find anyone in my area (Gainesville, Fl) that can help me with my Palisades Zoysia. It was sodded three years ago and the lawn was beautiful for two years. Since then it has begun to thin out to the point dirt is showing in about 50% of the lawn. Last season I was told it was infested with grubs and a professional came in, aerated and treated to kill them. He said he could recover my lawn in a few months but after three months of worse results, he just quit. I have a sprinkler system and watering isn't the problem. Where would I start to save my lawn?

Doc I love the Duocide product but don’t use it anymore because it hurts my earthworms.

I live in Canada.. My front and back yard was invaded by grubs and the whole green lawn became brown..Then the whole back lawn was covered with dandelions...It took this female senior 3 years to finally get rid of grubs and dandelions, manually...I was getting discouraged while digging dandelions manually, because they grow faster...So what I did, after clearing a spot I will plant a perennial. So now I have a Botanical garden (as my neighbours call it)the whole back and front. No more grass. Up to this morning, I can still find grubs while weeding.

Duocide expensive. any cheaper alternatives for grubs?

Does this stuff kill beneficials like earth worms too?

Sir my hair is almost fallen about 99% skin. Do u think I have Grubs. Please advise.

In Canada, we don't have armadillos, but we do have skunks that dig and route for grubs in the same manner. Unfortunately, virtually all chemical pesticides and herbicides have been banned in most Canadian provinces and no longer sold. Many Canadians cross the U.S. border and attempt to smuggle pesticides back into Canada, but they are usually caught and the materials confiscated and/or they are fined. There are recommended "natural grub treatments", but they are far more expensive, far less effective and they take a lot more work and a lot more time to accomplish. It took me three years to eliminate the grubs and achieve a great lawn for last year, but this year they are back.

@@mightybarrister so if it isn’t labeled safe in chicken yards it is not safe. I carried a lawn pesticide license for years. And insurance. Although I never applied an insecticide I learned a couple of things. It’s legal to treat your own property. Except for restricted use pesticides. Homeowners always use too much. They never get the life cycle of the insect right so it fails. There are 6 major types of grubs in this area. If they are not treated in the larval stage they survive. And they’re all different! If you apply enough poison (it says that right on the package) to kill everything at every depth it is way too much. Everything the chicken eats would be poisoned. At that rate I’d worry if the well was safe. Is the dog? Grubs are common. Excessive grubs result from stresses to the lawn. Mowing too short. A drouth. Maybe last year. Because of the yearly life cycle of the grub and mature beetle. The purpose of pesticide license is to educate professional users to use the minimum pesticide to control pests. Not eradicate all bugs. Pesticides should be the last line of defense. After you’ve tried everything else. Organic produce is worth the price. Organic farmers will report you for applying pesticides next to their organic crops. If you miss “watering in” just a few of those granules those chickens will gobble them up like chicken feed! I am not anti-pesticide. Without the proper use of pesticides the world would starve. But for purely aesthetics on a lawn? Misuse like that will get all pesticides removed from the consumer market. You’ll have to call a professional for everything. Which is maybe what you should do here.

I like to buy a piece of hybrid Bermuda grass or 2 and use a bulb tool and insert cookie size pieces in bare spots
