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.
Measure your lawn
Apply 2.3–3.4 pounds per 1,000 sq. ft. of turf.
Prep your spreader
Adjust your spreader for even coverage. Start at the lowest setting and increase gradually until the product flows evenly.
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.
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.
