Soil temperature and weather effect grubs. They come to the surface in the warmer temperatures. To kill grubs you can either apply Merit once from now to mid August(a season-long Killer) or use Dylox twice, once during the second week of June and again during the second week of August.

Yes you can. If insect damage occurs, apply any turf-registered insecticide (eg Baythroid) following the manufacturers instructions. A common insect that damages lawns is Lawn Army Worm or Sod-web worm. If a large population of white moths are noticed of an evening around your home, be prepared to spray in the coming weeks.

Our program includes a granular insect prevention application that covers common pests that target lawns in our region such as white grub, billbugs, sod web worms, cinch bugs and other insects. We request that you also monitor the condition and let us know of any changes that you may notice. See similar questions...

DEET is not an insecticide and neither kills nor harms the pests it repels. DEET interferes with the mosquito's ability to detect the carbon dioxide our bodies release. See similar questions...

The grub-killing insecticide imidacloprid (dubbed "Merit") is a chlorinated nicotine-like chemical. It acts upon the nervous system, as do many insecticides. Imidacloprid is also used as a deterrent to birds eating seed, and may similarly curtail control of grubs by birds, which would be counter-productive. Imidacloprid is highly toxic to bees. Imidacloprid is soluble, mobile in some soils and may pollute water. It is persistent. See similar questions...

Answer: To control weeds, you can over-seed your lawn twice a year (early spring & early fall) to help prevent weed growth. Mowing your lawn high (4-inches or more) shades out most weed seeds and prevents them from germinating, while also slowing growth (for less frequent mowing) and strengthening the immune system of the grass. Keeping your grass unstressed by providing proper light, water, and nutrients will produce a crop of very thick turf. See similar questions...

If you are rapidly losing your lawn due to too many grubs, more than 10 per square foot, you may be wise to use an insecticide along with Milky Spore. See similar questions...

Grubs are actually the larval stage of a variety of different kinds of beetles, including May and June bugs and voracious Japanese beetles. Adult beetles lay their eggs in the soil in mid to late summer. As the eggs hatch, they develop into the white-wormish looking larvae. As the larvae grow, they work their way down to the root zone of your lawn where they eat the roots. In the fall, you'll suddenly notice dead patches of lawn start showing up in your lawn if you have grubs. See similar questions...

No, you must either kill weeds first and then wait 3-4 weeks to seed, or seed first and then wait until the new seed has germinated and been mowed at least twice (about six weeks) before applying a broadleaf weed killer. See similar questions...

Scarab grubs are the number one pests in our region. These grubs feed extensively on roots and organic matter and can cause significant damage. Damage caused by these grubs appears as large brown patches. For further information on Scarabs checkout our lawn care guide. See similar questions...

The best time to control grubs is when the larvae are small and actively feeding near the surface. This is usually late July to mid August. Application in September may be required to control late hatching larvae. Early spring applications should only be made if the grubs are right at the surface and the soil temperature is fairly warm (15°C). The large larvae in the spring are difficult to kill and cold soil temperature may reduce the effectiveness. See similar questions...

Our trained applicator will notify you if your lawn shows signs of disease. He'll also advise you on the best treatment. Because lawn diseases are unpredictable and treatments are so variable, there is no guarantee of results. Application of lawn See similar questions...

Regular fertilization helps to maintain good lawns. In western Washington, apply N-P-K fertilizers in a 3-1-2 ratio (3 Nitrogen - 1 phosphorous - 2 potassium.) Examples of fertilizers in this ratio would be 21-7-14 or 15-5-10. Sulfur enhances color and helps control some lawn disease problems. See similar questions...

Although it never a good practice to harm vampires (being a hunter won't get you any points on this newsgroup), let alone kill them, some of the more favored methods of destroying a vampire are included in section [2.04] in the Traditional FAQ located at http://www.altvampyres.net/newsgroup/faq.

Not likely. There have been documented cases of malignant chances associated with Endometriosis and higher risks of certain cancers in women with the disease, but Endometriosis itself is classified as a benign illness. See similar questions...

Pyrethrum, extracted from chrysanthemum flowers. This insecticide protects the chrysanthemum flowers from plant-eating insects. Insects do not build up an immunity to Pyrethrum as they do other chemicals and synthetic compounds dangerous to humans. NO. Pyrethrum is completely biodegradable. After pyrethrum affects the mosquito and other insects, it decomposes harmlessly. See similar questions...

The Pyrethrum product is technically not natural, though it is an organic compound, it is still an insecticide and should be handled accordingly. See similar questions...

Moles are scavengers! They get associated with grubs because moles are more active during the times when grubs are present. That doesn't mean that since you have moles you must have grubs. Moles eat whatever they come across including earthworms. The weed control used to most effectively control broadleaf weeds, such as Dandelions, Henbit and Chickweed, is a contact herbicide.

No, lice cannot survive for more than about 24-36 hours when removed from a person and they do not live in cracks or crevices like cockroaches or other household pests. Spraying furniture, carpets and bedding with an insecticide serves no real purpose other than providing some margin of psychological comfort. Although such sprays kill an occasional stray louse, family members who are already being treated with insecticidal shampoos would be exposed unnecessarily to additional pesticides.
