Grubworms appeared earlier than ever in Iowa (early August), but those were June beetle larvae. Now we're finding northern mask chafer larvae. During the past 4 weeks, we've treated 3 - 5 lawns per day for grubs.
We used up the last of our Dylox, and have recently switched to "Aloft".

Dylox = 30 lb bags. Aloft = 40 lb bags (application rate = 2 lbs per K each)
Price: Aloft is less expensive (well under $2.00 per lb) Plus, for every five bags, you get one free (nice deal).
Spyker spreader setting for Aloft = #4. Dylox setting = #5.
Aloft is not affected quite so much regarding wind compared to Dylox, but...
My complaint with Aloft is... we can't see it while we spread it. We can smell it, and we can hear the tiny prills when they hit shrubs, etc. The granules are black, and the prill sixe is merely slightly larger than table salt -- making them nearly invisible.
Anybody else using Aloft? What are your thoughts? rscvp thanks :usflag::canadaflag:
