White Grub Report

In  the 7th edition of the "Turf Management Report" sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Pam Charbonneau  reports on: 

Insects
New on the insect front this week are European chafer flights.  They began roughly a week ago and were pretty much right on time.  Flights have been heavy all week. I have spent roughly a half hour every night over the last week at dusk observing the adult emergence and flights.  I really should get a life.   I think people are surprised at how many adults are flying, but that is usually the situation in a wet year.  The grubs were there, but there was very little turf damage.

Here at Turf King we received an email from someone who has been seeing adult flights as well.

"I really should get a life." ? Was that your insert or does that one honestly belong to Pam Charbonneau? I had to read over it a couple of times to make sure I wasn't imagining things. Too funny.

Oh man, white grubs are the worst. I used to work for a lawn care company and that was among the worst things we had to take care of.
