Default Diazinon replacements...not!

I feel your pain. Thanks to Diazinon my grub problem went away several
years ago. If it returns I still have 2 qt containers that'll last me
for a LONG time. I've used Garden Techs Sevin for ant control in my
garden walkways to no avail. Mixed as prescribed, nada, doubled it,
still won't kill the ants. Thats it on that product for me. Either the
bugs are mutating or the products are getting worsesigh.

I moved this year and the new house had a poor lawn. I have much
improved it but I am having grub problems. I have tried 3 of the
products now in the stores: season lawn control, triacide?, and sevin.
None have worked, peel up a patch of sod and I still see live grubs
each time!

Diazanon worked without fail in the past but is now unavailable. Any
suggestions for something that really works. (Other than a 55 gal
drum of Malathion concentrate applied directly. That is what the guy
at the local home center jokenly reccommended.)
