Default Grubs

Anyone else got this problem?? I never had them before. Was it because the ground didn't freeze?? I did go to Lowes to get some control of the situation..Anyone else have any suggestions to keep them away??

Grub-Ex or similar products at retailers has always worked for me. Or attract a lot of Robins to your lawn...they eat beatles and grubs.

Watch out for doing it to close to any body of water. You know that there are many new rules about putting down insecticides and fertilizers.
