Fall Application (Late August to Early October): Control late-season grubs to reduce next year's populations, ensuring your lawn stays healthy year-round.
Being OMRI Listed, grubGONE!® guarantees that it adheres to the highest organic standards, making it a safe and environmentally friendly choice for organic lawn care.
