| I got the grubs in my newly laid St. Augustine sod. Is it okay to put some grub killer on it, or do I need to wait until it's been down for a while?? |
Well let me give you a little bit of history first. I recently did a lot of work in my back yard. (I have a thread floating around here somewhere) I did a lot of digging during this work, and during the process unearthed a lot of big juicy survival show size grubs. They were at least 6-8 inches down in some hard packed dirt. I never had any grass in the area until now after I put in the SOD. I also never saw a grub any shallower that 6-8 inches. I lifted up a corner on a piece of sod, and there were 2 grubs right at the surface under the sod undoubtedly munching away at it So to answer your question it is too early to tell if they are doing any damage to the new stuff, but I don't want to take a chance. |
