Grubs are common and pests, which are most active in the period from April to May, but in our garden they can be present even throughout the summer. They live everywhere – on, in rockeries, in vegetable crops, or near fruit trees. How to get rid of them?
Are there grubs in your garden? They are so distinctive that you will surely recognize them
The grubs are most often the larvae of the May beetle, which lays eggs in the ground, and the larvae hatch from them. They reach a length of 3 to 4 cm, have a light abdomen and a brown head. They are extremely harmful to plants. Not only do they gnaw at the roots, which leads to drying out, but also by making holes in the roots, they can lead to the death of shrubs and even trees. When they feed on the lawn, they cause yellow patches and dry grass blades. They overwinter in the soil at a depth of 1 meter, and their development can take up to 5 years.

How to get rid of grubs in the garden? Plant these plants and you’ll get rid of them quickly
Grubs feed at night, so an effective way to pick them up is to cover them with a dark foil during the day. The pests will think it’s night and come to the surface, and then we can pick them up. Repeat this method for at least a few days, because not all of them will go outside at the same time. Another method is to plant deterrent plants. Grubs do not like onions, buckwheat and mustard. If we plant these plants in the garden, we will effectively discourage grubs from living in our area.
