And what works better on grubs, carbaryl or DDT?

Grubs, "Milky Spore" it only attacks Grubs not all the good stuff in
the soil that makes soil healthy like worms, microbes and beneficial
insects. Poisons kill everything, and your soil.


In my experience milky spore works fine, but it does take a
few years to give good contol. After that, you don't need to add any
more as it feeds on the grubs.

I have not applied any more for about five years. No grub
problems.
