Buy the Merit granular for use in late July to early August. The first application is best in July, followed by a dose in October and again in the spring during the first part of May. This would ensure that you have killed the adults and young as well as the beetles laying the eggs.

Rake the leaves and other debris from the lawn before you apply any treatments. The Merit granules need to reach the soil top to begin killing the white grubs.
