Live in NJ and spring seems to be here. At the end of last summer, we
noticed a grub problem where a big patch of our lawn was dead...had to
rake it all out (grubs were abundant) and reseed the area. Any
suggestions on how to prevent this from occuring again? Are there any
prevention treatments that work well?

Merit is a great product to prevent a grub infestation... unfortunately it
does not affect a mature grub. I my experience there has been nothing on the
market that is very effective against mature grubs when applied according to
the label, which I would never recommend exceeding. There is another way to
get rid of the mature ones though and you may have accidentally done it...
you starve 'em to death. Once they've taken all the roots there are to eat
they will have nothing left to feed on.
