I can only tell you that I don't treat them in any way. I have them also and my lawn looks awful but it always comes back after the attack.

1. You can mix up a bucket of water and detergent and toss that on the lawn and the grubs will come up to the surface and you can grab them but it's a long job and you're sure to miss some anyway. 2. Borrow some chooks for a week.

simply buy the appropriate product/chemical, in the form of either granuales or liquid, then water in well. poses absolutely no threat to your pooch.havent heard of an actual "spray" but whatever is applied needs to watered in thoroughly so as to reach the turf roots where those annoying grubs are causing all the damage.

>poses absolutely no threat to your pooch

The active ingredient is an organophosphate, toxic and readily absorbed through the skin. I wouldn't want my dog walking around on it. Also toxic to wildlife.

Get hold of some hessian bags and place them wet on the affected areas overnight. The grubs will move to the surface and can be collected first thing in the morning and the bag removed. If allowed to do so, birds and wasps will help control the grubs.

my problem is also lawn grub, I am reluctant to use any poison because I have a large frog population, any ideas would be welcome.

Scarab beetle larvae, also known as white curl grub are a serious lawn pest. The signs of infestation are easily confused with other pests, diseases and disorders in turf and present as a general yellowing, then browning, followed by the death of lawn.
