Ok, so I read the grub control thread, and it was very informative. I wanted to put my questions in there, but saw the last reply was well over a year ago and I didn't feel like raising it from the dead
1. The grub control thread says to throw GrubEx1 down April 15ish. I live in northern CA, where the soil temps have been the 50s for over a month now. I've already done PreM, seeding bare spots, and fertilizer over the past month. Does it make sense to put the GrubEx down earlier, or should I just hold off until April?
2. The thread also says to use Imidacloprid to control the larger grubs that are hatching this year. Is there a specific recommended product? Looking on Amazon, a lot of them say it's for plans and shrubs, and doesn't really mention turf at all. Does it really matter which I pick as long as it's Imidacloprid? We've got a friendly neighborhood skunk that likes to dig under our fence and tear up our back yard. Since I can't exactly use a 22 on him where I live, I figured I'd take his food source away
Thanks in advance!
