Bugs and grubs are a danger to your beautiful Bermuda grass, eating them and ruining your lovely garden. They live deep in the soil rich in nutrients and eat away the roots of the grasses. Hence, you have to make it a priority to get rid of any grubs and bugs in your lawn to maintain its condition. There are two ways to do this. First is the preventive treatment, second is the killing treatment.
Preventive treatment needs to be done in the early hatching phases of bugs and grubs. This procedure only works when these organisms have just been born. It does not work on mature ones.
Killing treatment works on all ages of bugs and grubs, be it the new-borns or the mature ones.
Both forms of treatment will require the use of specific chemicals for particular needs. It is best that you stay away from home-made remedies, and opt for a proven quality product in the market.
Most products in the market are advertised stating their effectiveness against bugs and grubs. But that is not the case, especially when concerned with grubs. You will find plenty of chemicals promising to get rid of grub problems; but even after their use, you might see your grasses dying.
Therefore, it is vital you buy a product that does what it promises – kill grubs. You want something that can penetrate deep into the soil and come in contact with the grubs, killing them.
Here are two products that accomplish this intended task:
