    Does any know of a knowledgeable lawn/grass expert? My extensive area grass has died due to grubs and I need someone who actually knows how to get rid of these things. (Previous attempts by exterminator failed and the problem spread like wildfire.) Once the grubs are gone I would like to seed new grass that is not so vulnerable to this particular pest. Thnaks

    Buy Leadrex Termiticide Concentrate from Shopee. It comes in 1 liter bottle liquid solution and is to be diluted into 1:50 (water). Dump it on the soil using a pitcher making sure it penetrates deep into the soil. Also make sure you cover every square inch of the garden. This is very effective in eradicating termites and all crawling insects and is effective for 2-3yrs after application. All the best!

    Could be the grubs of beetles such as cockchafers - and thus need an insecticide (not sure a termicide would be broad-spectrum enough).

    There are also natural control methods such as fungi, nematodes and birds (not sure you can buy the first two in the Philippines and I think the birds have all been eaten).

    Leadrex will definitely eradicate ALL flying and crawling insects. I’ve been using that for years.

    Is it possible that using it could harm pets, (dogs and cats) ?

    Bring them out for at least 2 hours after which you can bring them back home again. You don't have to worry of them getting sick after the application.

    The proof will be in the pudding (or similar grub).
