Chafer Grub Control

A chafer grub might be controlled in a number of ways:
1. Cultural and physical control, especially by aeration and scarification, as this can help to improve air circulation and reduce any thatch blanket that can protect grubs during cold winter weather. Following any egg laying and grub development, the grubs will gradually work their way deeper into the soil ¯ especially by the autumn where they pass into the pupae stage. Try and keep this surface and immediate layer relatively open to the weather.
