| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses grub infestation, stating that various conditions, such as the weather and a lawn's sun/shade ratio, can impact grub damage. As a result, the best treatment is preventive and, if done correctly, can keep a client's lawn great loking and virtually grub-free." Briefly profiles "five insects that, if left unchecked, will cause permanent damage to the [United States'] indigenous tree population": emerald ash borer, asian longhorn beetle, mountain pine beetle, hemlock woolly adelgid, and the bark beetle. Suggests that "for effective grub control, the optimal application window is late May to early July...any earlier and the insects are not yet a threat, and later the damage has already begun." Also suggests that lawn care operators (LCOs) "maintain records and maps of when and where pest problems have occured...[because] many pests tend to occur in the same places they find favorable year after year". |
