I know we have grubs as I have dug a few up when planting, plus the skunks have caused some serious damage looking for grubs as well.
That is one reason I am battling with my neighbor as I want to clean up the dam area where the skunks make a home.
In Illinois, I would put down a product that I believe was called Grubx in August, is that the same thing?

Yeah I'm not sure about the timeline there it might be a month earlier then here. Grubx is probably a short term fix for an existing problem that has to be watered in immediately and loses toxicity within a day or two without being activated with water. Merit is a great product, it has a 4 month residual and is more of a preventative measure, so if you apply it in April it doesn't lose its burst until august. Merit is the actual chemical name, not the product name. Do a google search of merit insecticide and you'll see it. It's used in a product called termidor for termites (the best one on the market right now) among others.
