Question
I have grubs in my lawn bad. I found a product called grubs made by scott. But i have chickens running around 2 cats A DOG WILL IT HURT THEM OR HOW COULD I GET RID OF GRUBS WITH OUT DANGERING THEM/

Answer
Grubs do not thrive in healthy Soil.

The reason: Natural predators keep the Grubs population under control.  They live in healthy Soil.  They die if you kill them.

Grub killer that you buy in the store will kill one season of Grubs.  It will wipe out all the natural predators, too.  And it could wipe out your pet population along with it, not to mention non-pets like Birds, Bees, Garter Snakes, Frogs, etc.  Next season, new Grubs come back to Grub-friendly Soil.  Then you're in trouble.

Possibly you did something last year to launch this attack?

Accidentally, of course.  I mean, how would you know?  You won't be able to tell any of this from reading advertisements.  And you're not going to read it in the Liberal Press.  So where can you read it?  Unless you're a subscriber to Scientific American or some obscure, obtuse journal for people with a PhD, nowhere.

Nevertheless, it is important to stop using those bags and bottles of Grubkiller, Weedkiller (which you did not mention but symptoms like this point to at least occasional applications), Funguskiller, Bugkiller and/or Thatchkiller.

I hope your Soil is one of those high Clay content Soils - lots of Clay in your neighborhood?  That would be a good thing.  Clay is packed with powerful minerals and vitamins to grow terrific Grass.  All you gotta do is stop killing all the microbes in the soil that make it healthy and make Grubs sick.

These steps will mark the beginning of your new relationship with your Lawn.

If you see Grubs down there, keep a stiff upper lip, my friend.

Because if you leave your Soil alone and add Humus and Compost mentioned earlier, you create the perfect environment for Grub-killing pathogens that live in Soil.

There are lots of pro-active remedies for Grubs.  First, let's just get it out of the way to say that Grubs are the larvae - ugly little curly gray and white hatched babies - of Beetles.  Beetles lay their Eggs in Soil.  Their grubby little offspring hatch, then gobble up tender roots of Lawngrass.

If there are only a few larvae, the Grass damage is insignificant.  Actually, the damage is so minor that your Grass feels no pain and shows no symptoms.  Sort of like the pain you would feel from getting hit in the head by a passing fly.

Of course,if you happen to watch those Grubkiller TV commercials, you'd think the presence of Grubs is something akin to an attack of Spinal Meningitis.  A threat to all mankind.

The absolute truth about Grubs is that they are NOT a threat to all mankind.  They pose no danger.  Not to you.  Not to me.  And not to our Grass.  Sure, they're ugly.  In healthy Soil, where healthy Grass is growing, there are BILLIONS of things like Bacteria (aka 'Germs') and other organisms that LOVE the taste of Beetle larvae.  They LOVE to eat Grubs!

Are you with me here, Paula?  Do you hear what I'm saying?

We never want to do anything to hurt the Bacteria and their Grub-loving pals.

And by the way, any Grubs that escape the Bacteria et al. become BIRD and SQUIRREL FOOD.  Haven't you noticed how Birds love to eat breakfast at your house?

They are eating Grubs!  Robins GO CRAZY for grubs.

So BANISH the thought of ever buying Grubkiller.  Use your noggen.  Take this 21st-century knowledge that we have about Grubs and use it!

If you want to do something pro-active, get yourself to Home Depot or Lowe's and pick up (1) one of those Blue cans of Milky Spore Disease (makes Grubs very sick) and (2) some Humus/Compost/Manure (any or all 33, whatever you're able to carry).  Stay away from the Grubkiller shelves.  And don't bother asking the salespeople for their advice on this; they'll only tell you that Grubkillers are safe.  Which they aren't.  Which is why they carry all kinds of toxicological information in case someone you love happens to ingest it or touch it for too long, too much.

The Humus/Compost/Manure is to re-boot your Soil and get your Lawn back to nature.

I sprinkled the Milky Spore Disease powder on my lawn a few years ago and now I have very few Beetles.

Now, let's also go over some things you should know about Grubs that we have researched.

One: According to work described by University of Illinois, destroying Grubs does not really lower the number of Beetles the next year. As they explain it, the Beetles merely fly all over the neighborhood. You can't fence them out.  So you just want to keep them under control.  And you can do that if you don't upset the balance of Nature.

One of my favorite Organic Grass websites is Dirtworks:

www.dirtworks.net/Lawnfert.html_

Dirtworks feels this way about healthy Grass and Soil: 'Benefits of a biologically active Soil include Soil aggregation, thatch reduction, more efficient release of available plant nutrients, improved Soil atmospheric respiration, systemic acquired disease resistance, antioxidant hormone production, improved water infiltration, increased water and oxygen holding capacity, deeper and more extensive turf roots, mycorrhizal associations, reduced Soil compaction, and improved turf density with consequent Weed suppression.'

Sort of takes your breath away, don't it?

Just do everything you can to keep the Earthworms happy, lay on the Compost, lay off things with '-killer' as a suffix.  Watch the pH (you don't want your Soil pH lower than 6.5, which is the perfect pH for Grass).

Earthworms will aerate. Birds will eat all creepy crawlers, including
Grubs. The sun will shine.  Life will be good.

Sorry for the long answer - but you sound like you're serious about your Grass.  That's what I'm here for.
