Now is the time to be aware of white grub infestation/damage. The
forecast is for a strong grub cycle here in Ohio.


We have protection from grubs down here in Texas, in the form of
armadillos. They're about the size of your average possum 'cept they
have a hard shell (hence the familiar dish "possum on the half shell")
and small bony head. Long claws for digging and a long long tongue.

You can tell when they've been out the night before protecting your
lawn by all the &^%#$** holes they dig lookin' for the grubs. That
tongue is about ten inches long. Pointy and sticky at the end like its
got pine tar on it. Gets the grubs like anteaters get ,well, you know.
Ants.


customers want me to get rid of the moles. I reply let me get
rid of the grubs. they say the grubs are not the problem, it's
the moles digging up the lawn causing the problem. then I reply,
have you ever heard of root cause analysis? then they ask what
do you think is wrong with the roots of my lawn.


Actually, worms are the moles most frequent meal. Killing the grubs may not
rid you of the moles.
