Apply Nematodes in early May, before there are signs of grub damage. Expand thanks. I still have lots of random patches of no grass near the deck side, but they are slowly filling in. Will throw some more seed down in April. The slope is tough and there is some erosion you can't see and that will likely require a bit of fill/seed. I almost gave up on the lower section as it was all weeds and zero grass, but I gave it one more shot. Persistence pays off and I hope I can keep it looking nice going forward. I'd like to say the war with the lawn is finally over, but it's too soon to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grub Ex isn't always effective, not to mention you risk killing off a Possum, which eat tons of ticks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
