To expand, Louis has a grub problem, doesn't want to spray chemicals (kids, dogs), so I

suggested nematodes as an effective natural control.

Mike... is Merit not the end all be all for Grubs? is it harmful to pets? I was wondering as I was considering an application on my lawn this fall and spring..

Don't think they'll hurt the dog but grass is a whole different ball game

Uh and here I thought nematodes was a form of grubs.

 

Gerritt merit will keep them in check if you apply every year, Never seemed to effect my dog.

Merit for your lawn? Sorry bud don't know.

I said "Louis" had a grub problem, didn't say anything about his lawn...

Louis, 2 tsps. of nematodes sprinkled on your cornflakes each morning

for 7 days should take care of your problem!

Great read I ll get teh stuff in the am and apply it.

Nematodes are parasites that feed on grubs and other larvea. They should not be harmful to dogs or kids, in my opinion.
