Envu Solutions – White Grubs in Turf
Injury to turfgrass occurs from white grub larvae feeding on the roots, resulting in infested areas first turning yellow, then brown, and finally dying. When grub populations are heavy, areas of turf can be easily lifted from the soil.
In addition, moles, raccoons, skunks, birds and other vertebrate animals that feed on white grubs can cause severe damage as they forage for the insects in infested turf.
The larvae of several beetle species commonly known as white grubs are major pests of turfgrass throughout most of Canada. Integrated management programs that include the strategic use of insecticides should be utilized to control these damaging root feeders. Tetrino® is a broad-spectrum fast-acting insecticide that is effective against problematic white grubs. Insecticide performance can be affected by a number of factors, including application timing and accuracy, amount of thatch, rainfall and/or irrigation following treatment, insect species, insect infestation level and dosage. All of these factors must be considered when treating with Tetrino insecticide to ensure optimal insect control is achieved.
No matter what kind of turf problems you’re up against, Envu has a full range of solutions to help you take control and maintain it.
