I live in planting zone 5b (Overland Park, KS. For the last 2 summers, have had grubs.
Two different lawn companies in 2 different years did not recognize it. Said it was heat, sun, over watering, etc. I had to roll the grass back like a carpet to show them. Both summers, the 2 companies have put down grub control treatment in late June/early July, but it did not work. I had someone else put down Dylox last Sept., as the grubs were still very active. It got rid of the grubs. When & how often do I put Dylox down from now on out where I live? I am not having either company treat for grubs again, since it didn't work.
Answer:
Dylox is only active and kills for 48 hours so should only be applied when grubs are active in the area. They should not be applied more than 3 times per calender year per the product label. We have a great article here that might help with controlling them. Milky Spore would be a great product to look at as it can protect your lawn for 15- 20 years when applied as directed.
