Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "the dry weather...in August [2008] was not good for Japanese beetle grubs, but is wonderful for European chafer grubs, and European chafer is [the] most important lawn pest in Michigan." Recommends to "watch for flocks of starlings on [the] lawn or patches of turf that have been dug-up by raccoons or skunks feeding on the grubs." Concludes that "irrigating grub-infested lawns helps the turf to grow new roots and recover from turf injury." |
