I beleive that most products take 24 hours to work, so if your see more grubs coming out over the next couple of days or weeks give it another hit. For the night that you spray your lawn, bring your pets away from the area. This is more for your welbeing as the smell of most sprays is although disgusting to people is very attractive to dogs. I know our 3 dogs love the smell and roll it. And I would give your lawn a lovely feed with the next rain after you have sprayed. Good Luck Sare Hi,

How long before putting down the pellets, and watering them in, is it safe for my dog to go onto the lawn again?

We got rid of all the eggs from the eves but the moths have already started to lay there eggs on the eves again. Obviously we should get rid of the eggs straight away to break the life cycle but i also have 2 more questions: 1. When should we spray the lawn again? 2. How do we know once the grubs have gone and can start to rebuild lawn using fertiliser? We dont want to do this too early as we dont want to 'feed'the grubs. Hi there,

Just give the back of the container a quick read though. Good luck getting the nastiness.

It is very enlightening. Like most people we too have suffered lawn grubs. We now notice a number of moths at dark when we water, I imagine the little pests are about to relay their eggs. We have Sir Walter Buffalo which has not been infested as much as the kikuyu. Is it safe to use the chemical sprays on the Sir Walter. Thanks Toni Thank you for all the excellent information.

I'm not sure of your area, but both of these are on the Tweed Heads/Northern Rivers area. Good Luck, I hope all goes well with your lawn. Thanks Sare Hi Kate,

Where do you buy Lawsband from? I googled it but nothing came up. Thanks Kate Hi

On the farm we have 3 beautiful wonderful kelpie dogs that mostly keep us company than actually protect anything. Goodness knows that they would be hopeless t actually rounding up anything other than machinery. We use a product that is called Lawsband on the farm. This is great for eliminating lawngrub, but also it is safe for the dogs to be around. In the past we have used a Chlorpyrifos but it has a horrible smell residue. I always tend to recommend a sand based product for killing lawn grubs around the home because it is water active and get right down into the soil near the grubs rather than on the leaf, near where kids and animals can get to it. But as always prevention is better than cure, so try to always make sure that your eaves and walls are free from the cocoons, and when you discover them wash the area down with your left over dishwashing water.

With new houses (and turf) going in around us its been a battle. Now we are once again starting to see the signs of lawn grub infestation but now we have a puppy and we are not sure what to use to kill the grubs that is safe for the pup. Before we used "Lawn grub destroyer" that we purchased at Bunnings..but cant locate any info advising if its safe to use around dogs. Do you have any suggestions?
