White grub underneath soil in lawn

grubGONE! Biological Insect Control Instructions

grubGONE!® G uses beneficial bacteria to naturally control grubs in lawns and gardens, protecting roots while staying safe for all turf grasses and ornamental plants.

When to apply grubGONE!® G

Apply when grubs are active in your lawn. The best timing is late summer into early fall, between the peak of beetle flight and egg hatch.

Sunday Tip:

Spring applications are less practical because grubs are larger and deeper in the soil.

How to apply grubGONE!® G Biological Insect Control

Measure, spread, water in — and let beneficial bacteria do the work to keep your lawn protected and healthy.

1

Measure your lawn

Apply 2.3–3.4 pounds per 1,000 sq. ft. of turf.

2

Prep your spreader

Adjust your spreader for even coverage. Start at the lowest setting and increase gradually until the product flows evenly.

3

Spread evenly

Walk at a steady pace in straight lines, overlapping passes slightly so you don’t miss spots.

Sunday Tip:

Close the spreader when you turn or stop to avoid over-application.

4

Water it in

Apply about ½ inch of water right after spreading. This activates the beneficial bacteria and carries it to the grubs.

Sunday Tip:

How to calculate a ½ inch of water: Place a few empty tuna cans around your lawn while watering. When they’re half full, you’ve applied the right amount.
