I don't think they're all that harmful to gardens - are they?

Anyways, in that circle where I found this creature it's only cultivated weeds anyway - doubt it could do much harm.

Well, I am going to put some bulbs in there, so I'd better think about it.

Grubs typically attack the roots of flowers, vegetables and ornamentals, but the soil in my yard is full of them and I haven't actually seen any damage from them. However, I have recently acquired several organic grub removers. They all look similar to "Rose".

"Rose" and her buddies ("Waylon" and "Willie") work hard (3rd shift) to rid my yard of grubs.
Unfortunately, they leave these big holes all over the yard.....

Phil will be proud of my organic grub control!

(Remember I said I hadn't actually seen any damage from the GRUBS???)

Ahhhhhhhhhhh! That must have been what got to some grass here a few years back. There were great big holes in it - nobody knew what was happening.

OK - next time I see this guy, I'll help him into his reincarnation - maybe he'll get to be a useful worm next time.

Hello,
Grubs are not good to have in your yard but you have to have a high population to cause problems. Unless your lawn is dying I would not treat. If you are looking for a natural control I would try beneficial nematodes. This is the time of the year to treat, in September for control for next year.

good luck!!
!!
