Once you've identified them with the help of tips from the others here, do
some research and speak to a KNOWLEDGABLE person at a garden center. Rather
than turn your lawn into Love Canal, you may be able to treat it with
bacillus thuringensis or something from that category - bacterial stuff
rather than poisons that cannot be and won't be tested for safety with
humans.

Last weekend I was planting some bulbs, and for each hole that I dug I
found at least 3 grubs (mid-sized ones not huge yet). They weren't
there last year. Where did they come from and how do I get rid of
them? My front lawn is also dead. I thought because too much sun and
too much fertilizer, but it was the grubs that did it!!! I'm not sure
what type of grubs I have. They have a white body with a yellow head
and a black tail?

Please, please, somebody help me!!! I'm near Washington DC. Thanks
so much.
