Transplanting strawberries we found grubs! Help!

9 years ago

We planted strawberries in pots this spring/summer and have decided to transplant the strawberries to a garden bed this fall. When we prepared the garden bed we found some grubs. Not a ton but some. My question is, do I need to treat for the grubs? If so, with what? And, how long after treatment can I transplant my strawberries? Thank you!

There are quick acting grub killers for lawn grass. You could apply one of those after you plant the strawberries and water in just like for a lawn.
