Diatomaceous earth, insecticidal soaps, lawn aerator shoes, milky spore granules, neem oils, nematodes, organic mulches, potassium-rich nutrient schedules, proper irrigation, and soil aeration kill grubs without killing bees. Mowing schedules that leave grasses two inches (5.08 centimeters) long and overseeding schedules in fall and spring discourage beetles, as the adult stages of grubs, from laying eggs in dense, lush, thick lawns. The above-mentioned controls tend to be most effective when begun once the year's gardening and lawn care projects start up.
