What insecticides can I use to kill Chafer Grubs in my lawn please
---------------------------------------------------------
Chemical control of mature Cock Chafer grubs in turf is not easy;
young larvae may be eradicated by the proper use of the chemical
pirimiphos-methyl.
Adult Chafer can be controlled by the use of a pathogenic nematode
'Steinernema carpocarpsae'. These are watered into the turf in late
summer. They release a bacteria into the body of the grubs which
eventually kills them.
