Grubs
Ian - Thanks for your advice.....Small World I live in Brampton also!!! I
am very worried about the chemicals that both the professionals use and also what is available at the Home Depot and other stores for just that reason. I have a small dog and lots of birds in the area. Ceratinly don't want to be killing any of them just for the grubs. Another guy suggested the Milky Spot and from what I can see from some quick research on the net it looks as though it is non-toxic and will take the grubs away. I may give that a try and see where it goes. Thanks again, Heather "Ian" wrote in message .rogers.com... Heather, Ian here in Brampton, another part of the GTA that has the grub infestation. A word of advice: I don't know if it was Diazinon I used, but I bought some grub killer chemical at Home Depot a few years ago, applied it to my lawn as the directions instructed, and it did indeed kill the grubs. Also killed the mourning doves, a few starlings, and a robin. I now hire the pros to apply my grub insecticides, their mixture is safer (or less toxic anyhow) for animals and humans than some of the stuff you can buy at HD. I leave it to the professionals to mess with the chemicals now. "Heather" wrote in message ... Never heard of this stuff before....Is this something that you can get at the store? like Home Depot, Canadian Tire, or local Garden Center or something like that? Does it harm the flowers in a flower bed? My grass buts up against some fairly new planting beds in the front and backyards and would hate to kill off all the planting I did last year.

What is the best way to get rid of these without hiring the professionals. I live in Toronto Canada and we are covered by snow right now but want to get a start to solving the problem once it's gone if possible. WE had them in our lawn in Albuquerque and I used Diazinon. After dilutinbg with water and spreading with a hose sprayer you need to water profusely so it soaks down intot he soil where these miserable critters live. I've yet to find a grub in our lawn since and we treated ours maybe 10 years ago. Thats my experience anyway. -- John S.
