A friend of mine asked how to get rid of the june bug grubs from her veggie garden, and I have no idea. Is there a good way, besides hand picking them out?

Maybe I'm odd, but I don't mind them myself!

I was also wondering if they actually damage anything in a veggie garden, but I didn't ask that part. LOL

Grub will kill plants by eating the roots. Milk Spore is one option. http://homeharvest.com/milkysp...

Milky Spore is for Japanese Beetles. For June bug larvae you can put out beneficial nematodes.

I leave them be. When the Starlings come back in the spring they pretty much eat them all.

From what I have read Milky Spore works on June Bugs also. It has been know to remain effective for 15 years or more, which is a plus in addition to being safe.
