September is a great time to take care of lawn maintenance. If your lawn has been showing signs of severe grub damage, now is the time to take action.
Beetles lay their eggs in late June and early July. Those eggs hatch about 2 weeks later into grubs which feed on the roots of your grass throughout August. It's now, in September, that the grubs are closest to the top of the soil, which is why this is the best time to eliminate them.
Look for products like "Bayer Advanced 24 Hour Grub Killer Plus" in your local garden center and follow the manufacturer instructions.
