Hi,

I just ploughed my lawn this weekend with a tiller.
I saw tons of white grubs.
The city of Ottawa says that I can use soapy water to kill them.
But what kind of soap (laundry detergent, hand soap, etc..)
what concentration ?
Can I spread laundry detergent over the earth and water it ?
how often ?
for how long ?
how many time ?

Please advice,
Thanks,
Bruno.

The City of Ottawa is lying to you. Someone there doesn't want you applying
pesticides and has given you bogus information. There can be a case made for
using a small amount of dish soap when applying an insecticide as it helps
the active ingredient slip through the thatch level and down to the root
zone.

The only " organic" sol'n to grubs are nemotodes, but the success rate w/
them is extremely low.
