Springtime Grub Issues

I was wondering if anyone else out there is experiencing grub problems this spring. We have had some digging for about 2 weeks now. We examined the turf to find numerous grubs like you would in the fall. I suspect that the amount of grubs might be attributed to the Japanese beetles that we experienced in mass numbers last year for the first time. I would be interested to hear from anyone that is or has experienced this problem before.

PS caught my first coon last night…..

  1. I have been seeing the same problem for the about the same time frame and after digging up the area we to have found grubs. I was wondering if spraying early would help solve the problem or just putting Dylox on the areas that they have digging in.
