| If you had fewer than 12 grubs per square foot, then you could have left them alone. Grubs only feed in the early summer so if you put the seed down in the fall again, the new grass should be good to go. Killing the grubs at this point would be a waste of money and time because you have no grass and they have stopped feeding. Your grass was probably brown from simple dormancy due to the heat and dryness. Were you watering 1 inch per week? |
