We Have A Lawn That When It’s Been Wet It Is Covered In Grubs. There Are Roughly About 30 Per Square Metre And The Lawn Is About

Question

60 square meters and is completely covered in them. Is there anything I can treat the lawn with as it’s so infested? We have put out containers with beer in to catch some but it’s such a big task !!! We have a dog so preferably treatment that is safe but equally we can keep the dog away whilst being treated, rather than have to put up with the grubs ! The lawn is a fairly new lawn about 18 months old laid in rolls of turf. The garden gets the sun in the day.

It looks like you have a variety of slugs, not grubs. Since you have an extensive problem, you may need to contact a pest control service. These articles should help:
