Default Please Help...Grub Infestation

Hey All,

The grubs have really gotten a hold of my lawn.(70% sod and 30% fescue)
By the looks of the brownish top (versus the green) it looks like
about 40%-50% of my lawn has grub problems.. I went and pulled some
patches of lawn and it pulls up like carpet with about 2-4 grubs in a
4" square patch. I realize it is late in the year but being in N.
Alabama, we probably wont have our first frost until about Week 2
November. I have a couple of questions:

1) Is there anything I can use now to kill them while they are feeding
??

2) What is the best insecticide to use in the spring?

3) What will I have to do to get my lawn back in shape?? I assume what
they have eaten is gone...never to return??

thanks a bunch....
Mark
