The Merit will protect Peter's lawn from grub damage this fall

I really doubt it has washed away, Peter. It clings to organic
material real well.
Steveo, you are only half right. The Merit will protect Peter's lawn
from grub damage this fall (to the extent that the lawn is not already
damaged by grubs that had hatched and started growing before he
applied the Merit).
But next spring is a different story. Even if there are no grubs in
Peter's lawn this fall, there may be lots of them happily munching
away on the grass roots next spring
Hey dumbass, if he doesn't have grubs this fall, he will -NOT- have
them in the spring either.
School yourself in control products next time, before you run your
pie hole. -sheesh-
Steveo, thank you so much for displaying your vastly superior
knowledge and for finding sufficiently vile words to describe my
rotting intellect and stinking carcass.
Perhaps, o enlightened one, you could now explain how Merit applied
too late to kill some of the grubs that hatched this summer would
prevent those grubs from burrowing downwards after their summer and
early fall feeding, remaining between four and eight inches beneath
the soil until next spring, and then rising back up towards the
surface in the spring and again feeding on the roots of Peter's grass.
(Won't this mean that, in mid and late fall, Peter's grass will appear
to be free of grubs, and yet there may be lots of them happily
munching away on the grass roots next spring? And isn't the obvious
way to prevent this the application of Dylox or something similar now,
before those growing grubs do any more damage? No, that can't be right
because you have declared:
if he doesn't have grubs this fall, he will -NOT- have
them in the spring either.)
