| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses pesticide control of grubworms and white grubs, chinch bugs, and common caterpillars. States that "proper identification of pests and an understanding of where the pest is feeding (above ground or below ground) is necessary to maximize control." Mentions non-target effects of insecticides, stating that "the non-target effects of any insecticide should be carefully considered before treatment because of the possibility that beneficial insects might also be controlled." Also mentions the use of biological control methods as alternatives to chemical control. States that "biological-control products require careful selection...and application in order to be effective. They typically do not provide pest control as complete as standard insecticides, but they are specific to target pests, do not harm beneficial insects, and are safe to handle and for the environment." |
