This was a great purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a great purchase for me. The product worked as promised, and it was much faster than expected. I have no complaints whatsoever and I would definitely recommend this product . The instructions were clear and concise. My only regret is that I did not try this product years ago.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had this 10x10 area in the back yard where the grass was always dead looking. So I checked the Scotts website to see what the problem might be. The website told me to check for possible grub damage. So I got my square shovel and lifted a one foot square piece of sod up, and oh my god the grubs. They were eating the roots of the grass causing the lawn to look like dead grass. So I used the GrubEx the next summer, and I haven't had any grub problems, and the back yard never looked better. Thank you Scotts for a great product.

Does not spread as much as directions say

I bought the smaller package for 5000 square foot lawn. I use the Scott's brand drop-type spreader set to 5 1/2 like the instructions say. When I opened the bag and saw how fine the granules are, I questioned whether 5 1/2 is the correct setting. But I went ahead and did it anyway. It didn't even last 1500 square feet and the whole bag was gone. I know there's nothing wrong with the spreader, because I had just used it the day before on the neighbor's yard with Scotts #1 Crabgrass Preventer and it worked perfectly.

Rids Japanese Beetles

When we first moved to our property, the Japanese Beetles were terrible in mid-summer. They ate every nice planter/flower my wife would put on our deck. I began using Grub Ex yearly and the Beetles haven't been seen since, knock on wood. They're still in the area because I see full bags hanging in yards all summer but our yard has been spared. I can only attribute it to Grub Ex.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT!

I used this on my front and back lawn 8 years and it took care of all the grubs. Along with fertilizing and watering, my neighbors would comment how nice my lawn looked. To prove that it does work, when I was selling the house, I did not apply the GrubEx that year and by the end of the summer I could see bare spots where the grubs had killed the grass. I dug up a spot on the grass about 6 inches by 6 inches and I found 7 grubs in that one spot from not using the GrubEx that one time because I was selling house.

It does exactly what you want to accomplish-eliminates grub worms

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had grubs for 3 years in n a row which almost killed most of my lawn. Since I have been applying Gurbex annually for several years there is no trace of grubs. My lawn is beautiful and the best in the neighborhood.

reply from Scotts Consumer Services

We're sorry Scotts Grubex didn't work to meet your expectations. This product is meant to be applied in the spring and watered in to activate the insecticide. If there is a thick layer of thatch (more than a half inch thick) it can stop the product from providing the assistance needed. If the grubs have grown into the mature stage the product will not kill them as they have already reached a phase in their cycle where they are immune to most insecticides. Once you start seeing damage, application of the product is too late. If you need assistance or have any questions please contact us via https://www.scotts.com/smg/gosite/Scotts-v2/help and one of our representatives will be glad to assist you.

Really disappointed on how muvh water is needed.

Bought this product today to treat grub worms in my yard. Had I realized that I needed 1 inch of water after applying to my lawn, I would have NEVER purchased the product. Does Scott's realize how much 1 inch of water is? Scott's, you really need to work on this..

reply from Customer Care

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Grubex and appreciate your feedback. Product should be watered in within 24 hours. Ideally, instead of watering it in yourself, apply in mid-spring and allow the spring rains to water it in for you. If no rain, need to lightly water it in within 24 hours. To prevent run off, water with approximately ½ inch water (about 30 minutes with average sprinkler). Apply an additional ½ inch water about 2 days later. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

It works effectively

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried other brands that weren't as effective. Aside from the cost, if you want to eliminate grubs this product works quite well. We only received a sprinkling of rain during the following ten days after my application and I was concerned it wouldn't take effect. It was enough apparently since the grubs are gone (and beetles) and the crows no longer tear up my yard, either. Buy it.

GrubEx

I have had problems with moles in my backyard for several years. I have tried many products in the past and I have had varying degrees of success. I was told to try this product in late Feb/Early March. So far I have had excellent results. I treated on area and left another area of my lawn untreated. I definitely saw a difference between the untreated area and the treated area. I would definitely recommend trying this product. In fact I am going to get another bag of GrubEx to treat the untreated area right now. Hope this helps anyone.
