When to apply grubGONE!® G
For optimal grub control, apply when white grubs are present in your lawn
The best timing is between peak adult beetle flight and peak egg hatch, typically late summer through early fall.
Sunday Tip:
Spring treatments are generally less effective because grubs are larger and deeper in the soil.
How to apply grubGONE!® G Biological Insect Control
Calculate your area
Measure your lawn or garden area. You'll need 2.3-3.4 oz of grubGONE for a healthy lawn!® G per 1,000 square feet of turf.
Prep your spreader
Check your spreader settings using our calibration chart and adjust accordingly. A properly calibrated spreader ensures even coverage and the best results for your lawn.
Spread evenly
Walk at a steady pace in straight lines across your lawn, ensuring uniform coverage. Overlap slightly between passes to avoid missed spots.
Sunday Tip:
Keep the granules on target by closing the spreader when turning or stopping. This prevents over-application and waste.
Water it in
Give your lawn about ½ inch of water through irrigation or natural rainfall. This crucial step activates the beneficial bacteria and helps them reach the grubs.
Sunday Tip:
Not sure how much water is ½ inch? Place a few empty tuna cans around your lawn while watering. When they're about half full, you've applied the right amount.
