Earthway spreaders now available on the LCN website thelawncarenut.com/collections/spreaders

[@MichaelRei99]

All you need is to have your lawn destroyed once Ny grubs and you’ll never forget the preventative again!! Excellent choice of music Bruh!!

[@Jessica-wq7mj]

Don’t I feel this this year!

[@yellowlab5624]

For sure!

[@felixagustin9573]

Fucking grubs

[@5-Sigma]

I know I've become a great LCN student when I put down the grub killer 2 days before your video releases! I am becoming one with the lawn sensei.

[@Thelawncarenut]

ha ha!!!

[@CDPMATH]

The use of a VISUAL along with AUDITORY and REALIA in conjunction with the explanations and MODELING…this is why you are a good teacher. Thank you for the video.

[@gabibbo_007]

"no matter where I am?" my grass in northern Italy is spot on thanks to you!!!!! Thank you

[@Thelawncarenut]

awesome!!!

[@rcronin1]

Thank you Allyn!! I knew you've made a lot of these videos over the years. But I so appreciate you updating and redoing seasonal videos like this it's super helpful.

[@tdz69]

Thank you for explaining the life cycle of grubs. Makes it really easy to understand when to apply the right treatment. Much appreciated. I used to think the brown spots in my lawn were fungus or something else. Turned out I had crazy grub infestation.

[@peanut62-cm8nw]

This is my first spring with the LCN We were in the 80's earlier in the week now 40's for the high and two inches of rain. I'm still waiting to get my new stress blend down Weather in the Carolinas

[@jimmyj8936]

Allyn, I personally want to thank you and a few others in the LC community . When I bought my home three years ago, I had zero knowledge about lawn care, I didn’t even know the names of the various types of cultivar of grass types, smh. But after watching many hours of your videos, my lawn dominates all other lawns in my neighborhood. It’s literally to the point I literally get people constantly stop by to ask how did I get it to look so good. My wife recently encouraged me to start a lawn consultation business. Something I’m still thinking about. Again Allyn, thank you for sharing your LCN knowledge. I am now a NUT for LAWN CARE!!!

[@matthesson5618]

Man LOVE the music when you get going!!!!

[@nygrasshole]

I saw some slight grub damage last week and I dug up an old LCN video and now the new one hit too. Perfect timing!

[@adammcdevitt8570]

Dude, your videos have come so far awesome job on this one!

[@seedtimeharvestlawncare]

Great illustration Allen 👌

[@user-tb2wz1tr8y]

This was a GREAT breakdown. Funny thing is, I bought GrubEx today and this video hits. Perfect.

[@Thelawncarenut]

I knew that! 😆

[@thetommantom]

I put some and down a few days ago and I have seeds under the dirt from over a year ago I pull up a clump of grass near my house and poof perfect soil and grass seeds waiting for water

[@jdwxflyer]

One of your best on controlling those little sons a guns! Great job!

[@justinbailey2806]

I'm going to try and spray a predator nematode mix and a BT (bacillus thuringiensis galleriae) product approach this week. I've never done this before.

[@ronmariataylor4865]

Omg! Great video!!! Just what we needed. Perfect timing as well. Watched this video while at HomeDepot shopping for gardening materials and grub control products. Thank you!!

[@Thelawncarenut]

nice!!! I hope you had a comfortable seat on a zero turn while you watched. 😆

[@JeremyKorzo]

LNC can we get some scratch N sniff technology on them stickers over by der! Spring Fling! 2023🤠🇺🇸

[@Thelawncarenut]

😂

[@thetommantom]

I put some sand down in the bare spots to encourage temperature and moisture encourage the established grass to grow and take over and fill in and smooth

[@paulbaratta1566]

I remember buying my Ego 5 years ago and now your using it! Saving the environment

[@BoeingAviation737.]

I did my first now yesterday

[@Thelawncarenut]

awesome!! Lots of warm weather sweeping the country right now.

[@soccermom1245]

Ridd has been treating our lawnsince june 2022. I will be taking over in June 2023. I will triumph!!

[@Thelawncarenut]

you got this!!

[@danalmeida5380]

Thanks Allen! From the southshore of Massachusetts

[@jvjdrn]

Thanks for another great video. I submitted my first soil sample a month ago and appreciate the guidance on correcting my lawn’s condition. That dominator down the street is going to have some competition!

[@TheKomar924]

Just ordered roundup and grub ex!

[@wayneessar7489]

I love my Earthway especially on finer prilled fertilizer! (150 sgm)

[@Thelawncarenut]

I agree, it spreads like a dream!

[@ptdave2002]

Man thanks, everything I needed to know. Internet still has some good

[@bradygaming5034]

Love your very detailed videos I at about 900$ is resodding that's not even the back yard I'll just take care of existing st aug and i guess scalp the wild bermuda

[@thenexthobby]

I never realized "June bugs" were grown grub worms? Now all I gotta do is teach them to smoke cigarettes and my problems are solved. :)

[@John_Pzapza]

I wish I could actually see my lawn. I have 2 ft of snow still on the yard.

[@XRunesRS]

Tillered up my first lawn and got some grubs.

[@sharkdizogg]

There seem to be varying opinions on whether neonicotinoids like imidacloprid are safe for honey bees. Do you have any tips on how to mitigate that risk to bees while still controlling grub damage? Thanks as always and happy Easter!

[@Thelawncarenut]

Use the Scotts GrubEx if you are concerned about the bees. That's what I would do.

[@johnchadwell2675]

I typically don't see "damage" to the St.Augustine. But , the armadillos are killing me looking for the grubs.

[@wesfos]

I never had anyone show the grub cycle on line before...THANKS...I live in New Brunswick Canada and many places on my lawn there is still snow....We are probably 4 weeks behind with our weather compared to what I see in your video....should I start my grub program possibly the middle of May

[@davidherter7034]

Allyn, great timing on this video. Thanks. Something I hope you can talk about that I have never felt confident about. Coverage of spreading and spraying. I always feel that I need to drench every blade or the spreading look like not enough product going down. I always run out of whatever before finishing an area. I guess what I am asking is how do you put down the right amount and how heavy do you need to saturate all of the grass?

[@talon1686]

Did you use the Imadicloprid in conjunction with the granular products?

[@randallwright2214]

Im wondering the same thing. It looks like he did the bio advanced granular then the imidicloprid liquid back to back. Is this necessary, recommended?

[@j3rocketeer]

As always, thanks LCN

[@WithTheBears]

Holy shit that spreader is EXPENSIVE

[@scottydoe05592]

Awesome video and I appreciate all the information. My neighbor has a granular product called Talstar and she swears by it. Have you ever used that product for lawn insects?

[@selecthunts986]

LcN is too good at what he does

[@alfrede.newman1838]

Good to know, moles eat grubs (amongst other bugs) so this preventative should help (a little) with fighting moles I hope?

[@shawndubay4050]

That's what I heard too and I am battling them little monsters too. Definitely going to be doing exactly what this guy did. Also digging them little tunnelers up.

[@Jon-st2ib]

Just got first mow of the season in New Hampshire.

[@leopoldpierre269]

Nice video...if you put down three treatments of milk sporing it will protect you for 10 years from grub...

[@andyslawncareandoutdooradv]

Great vid AL! My grub control usually goes down around the middle of May

[@Thelawncarenut]

that's a good time bro!

[@Vintage27]

Awesome video

[@qualitylawncarecares380]

Great info I use a product called bifenthrine but I don’t think It works against grub

[@Thelawncarenut]

It's great as a general insect control and works well on sod webworm, but you are correct, nothing for grubs.

[@josephmoore9639]

BIFENTHRINE WORKS GREAT ON GRUBS !

[@jackiejones5037]

Thank you!!!

[@Thelawncarenut]

You're welcome!

[@nickcataldo7375]

So new home owner here. Living in south Florida. What would you do if you found an infected lawn during todays date with this heat this late in summer. I was planning on fertilizing soon but now I feel I may have to treat first due to dead spots.

[@RyanPratt1]

These usually hatch and swarm in February here in Houston

[@aaronlothamer6618]

I'd like to see the Grub- EX application on the app.

[@thetommantom]

I just walk around and rough up that dry crust even damage some weeds and spread bigger rocks or clay pellets from settled clay with grass mixed in under that impermeable layer

[@genetik123]

Central Texas here. Pretty sure we caught all of the junebugs in the world in our pool skimmer last month - you're welcome! 🤣 But seriously, we had quite a bit of grub/chinch damage to our St. Aug coming into this year that I didn't prep/plan for last season. I didn't know the relation between the two until this year or else I'd have made the connection previous years. The junebugs have been getting more and more year over year. I applied Triazicide as a corrective on March 10th after I noticed my mistake (dug up and found both grubs/chinch). Very few junebugs showing up in the pool overnight now. Is right now still the right time to apply a first round of preventative?

[@jwfos22]

I'm in the DFW area and I will put down imidacloprid early to mid June. Imidacloprid is good in the soil for 3 - 4 months as it starts deteriorating So if you put it down in June, you'll catch the eggs hatching in mid to late June through Early September. Hope this helps

[@user-lw9im9mf3l]

Great thanks for a newer updated grub video! I did grub ex last yr and then dylox later in fall. ALOT of the FB group members recommended arena and thought of that route but most grub guides recommend merit or preventative. Thoughts on arena for grubs and as a once a yr app to cure all bugs and crawlers???

[@Methodical2]

Thanks for reminding me to put down this app. Got your liquid stuff. It's cheaper than buying the Scotts stuff since I have to do an app on a large lawn.

[@bradygaming5034]

Mine came early this year whole 100sq ft area almost dead i dug around seen about 7

[@richardandersen4558]

Awesome video!

[@Handledy]

Hey man. I watch all your videos and I live in Canada. Ontario. Toronto. Where do I get this stuff from. I’m talking about fungus control prevention or treatment ?

[@richardgordon245]

Thank you !! GOOD DAY FOR ME bad day for the Bugs

[@Filmwalasandhu]

I’m laying new sod after grubs destroyed my previous lawn. Is there anything I can apply to deal with grubs before I lay down the sod?

[@wakeupidiotsnow2611]

Learned a lot, great review! I’m in the transition zone Kansas. 15K tall turf, type fescue lawn , so I’m going to put down bio advanced complete insect killer on Cinco de Mayo May 5 on a Friday. Looking at your cycle chart, Is this a good date? What do you think?

[@yankeeownz9980]

A question regarding Scotts Grub ex and Scotts Disease ex Both require watering into the soil Would you recommend spreading both at the same time or spread Grub ex and 2 weeks later spread Disease ex? Information is limited for Disease ex and spreading both on the same day.

[@johnvanderhoof1248]

Thank you Allyn. Can you tell me how much water to water in? I use a sprinkler to water. Is there some type of rule of thumb I can use after I apply this product? Also same question for humic products. Thx.

[@chrisberris7611]

What would you conclude the rate of N based on the following rate FERTILIZER+BROADLEAF+GRUB Spray, 2.00 GAL/1000 SQFT Entire Area 17-0-5 UBM (NITROGEN,POTASSIUM) EPA# RATE: 0.3020 GAL/1000 SQFT APPLIED AMT: 6.2305 GAL. The total area is 20628 and the total volume of spray was 41.26gal

[@lopesphoto]

I have freshly laid sod for about 10 days. Can I use this the first season of having sod or wait until next season?

[@bertraminc9412]

We have a mole cricket swarm this year. What will kill mole crickets as well please? Thank you!

[@stephenkikes]

hello sir.. i live in savannah Ga and when it rains here my lawn just seems to hold water forever. do you have any recommendations on how to drain the water faster.

[@Thelawncarenut]

First I would control the downspout water and where that goes. Second, install French drains. It is a lot of hard work to do but it's not someting that requires a lot of engineering either. It's super approachable for any DIYer. I would check out "Apple Drains" on KZbin.

[@bear532]

Question, if you killed your lawn off sometime in early July for a full lawn reno, would that mean that you also took care of the grub problem as there’s no living plants for them to feed on?

[@ingridwilkins4819]

Easy to understand!!

[@waynehouck1157]

Allyn, I've been following and using your products for a few years now. Concerning grubs, have you ever used Milky Spore powder to control grubs? What are your thoughts on this product?

[@andrewbooks7244]

Do I need to throw down preventative when I start to see June bugs?

[@sxewhodey]

I just purchased the Milky Spore product. IYO, is it a waste of money? Is the 10 year effectiveness possible, or just a pipe dream?

[@sbway9308]

Allyn!!! Happy Easter Brother... Appreciate the channel and everything you do for the Lawncare community! Do you have any tips on faster recovery time for Empire Zoysia! I love this turf but it is stubborn when it comes to recovery. I believe my area of Santa Rosa Beach Fla experienced some damage from the 4 nights of 20° weather in Dec. I have bald patches, but not too bad. Thank you in advance!

[@Thelawncarenut]

Lots of water and Flagship fertilizer is all it ne3ds to really run. If we get rain, that will kick it in gear.

[@joyheath3375]

Thanks allyn

[@WhittyPics]

Good info Allyn

[@babatrumputchannel]

Nice video. Thanks For the sharing

[@jacobsantilli7369]

Allen I'm in my 2nd season of your lawn care plan. I have 2 questions. My soil test came back low in npk. I plan to throw down starter in my first app. Can I also spray down green pop with it. How long should I wait after the granular app should I wait. Also plan on starter for my 2nd app same as last season. What do you recommend.

[@Thelawncarenut]

I would not do them both at the same time. You don't have to correct the issue all in one day. use the soil data to guide all of your future apps. If you want, in the YM app you can activate a custom program based on your soil test - it will tell you want to apply all season.

[@Runn3r4life21]

Haven't had grub issues yet but have been putting insecticide as directed. I finally noticed earthworms in my yard. Should I hold off on applying?

[@jgehbinv]

Great video Allyn! I live in Richmond, Va. Soon, I will be seeing small white moths flying around in my yard. What are they? Are they laying eggs that hatch into grubs or are they doing any other type of damage? Depending on your answer, what treatment do you recommend? Thank you!

[@victorsaleeb5632]

What ingredient to put in the fall,

[@claudelipscomb4459]

Right on time 👌

[@blackhouse7646]

What liquid would you recommend for the fall? The 24hr is to expensive for me. I have 30k of yard

[@jeffpiendel1898]

Hey Allen, how’s everything going? Great video as always. Quick question for you. I have been following your program on the app after doing two soil samples last fall. The app is recommending me to put down stress blend here this week but one of your earlier videos said I should put down freedom in the spring and fall and stress blend in the summer, I did put down stress blend March 9 per the app. The app has me putting down freedom in late May and flagship in late June. Was wondering if I should stick with the app or follow your earlier video and put down freedom this week instead of stress blend Thanks

[@coreywigal5435]

I’m anxious to see if Ego is going to let you try out one of their new zero turns! Hope so!!

[@Thelawncarenut]

I have one here now! it's pretty cool. will have a video soon

[@66TJP]

Got a laugh when the first ad was for Grubhub !

[@brianboisvert1716]

Found a couple Grubbs edging my flower beds. Do I throw down the 24hr now and the season long later?

[@CesarMartinez-tp4bx]

Can’t get Imidacloprid delivered here via Amazon or any other site unless licensed here in Ct as a DIY’r what should I get to save money? I’m trying to avoid the $55 for x2 bags of grub ex 😩. Thanks

[@Mark-lq3sb]

Is Heavy Metal required when applying my Scotts Grub X? I hope not, but I will blast some Hendrix or Zeppelin.

[@jdorsey1986]

Alen, thanks! Would either product be safe for backyard chickens? If not, any alternative you would suggest? Significant grub damage last summer in New England.

[@Thelawncarenut]

I wouldn't know what to apply there, sorry. But maybe get some chickens that will actually do their job and dig up the grubs and eat them lol 😂

[@YardBrah]

First Filipino 😂😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@catmom9755]

So, what is the best thing to do for mole crickets?

[@kemosabe208]

Allyn I'm in Idaho, I did some dormant seeding around the 1st of the year due to billbug damage last summer. I think the soil temp is around 40-50, and I am waiting for germination... What, if anything, should I be doing right now so all my efforts aren't wasted? Water like crazy? Thank you!

[@richardlowe8062]

Looks like you only have imidacloprid by the gallon on your website.

[@ThinkMoneyBenny]

What’s the difference between scotts grubex $60 bag / 10sq ft coverage vs Bio advanced complete season bag for $23 / 12sq ft?

Did you use both products at the same time?

[@fredkerzic2568]

Do you have any tricks for keeping deer off your lawns?

[@debralangel6126]

I put out grandules last week, on an acre. With a hand broadcast spreader, ugh! Fighting lots of moles/voles! Anyway does the grubs x by Scott's kill the earthworms in your lawn? Right now our lawn has a lot of the weeds it isn't a lot of grass I'm working on it but had a lot of health issues last year anyway I'm trying not to kill off my earthworms but I have a lot of Japanese beetles and June bugs and I was fighting those the last couple of years but I couldn't deal with them last year. I'm wondering if you heard about the Milky spore powder and if so is it really any good I know it takes time a few years and that it stays in the ground forever but it is supposed to kill the grubs and if you have heard about it what your advice is regarding it? And I am researching pull behind and push broadcast spreaders I watched your video on them and I like the one you use!

[@liamhenry8164]

So, since it is a nicotine based product. Can you make a tea from chewing tobacco and spray the lawn with the mixture?

[@Shunya0101]

Thanks for the video. Is there a general soil temperature range that starts the grub activity in the Spring?

[@Thelawncarenut]

I'm not sure about that one, I just know the adults come out in later May and June so you want to be ahead of that with your grub treatment (preventative)

[@BurmLabs]

Grubs in NY are always a nightmare.
