Natural way to get rid of grubs?

[treehugger]

Our front gardens are right full of grubs and they are killing just about anything we plant. I really don't want to put down Grub-ex but it's the only product that I've found to work. Does anyone know a natural grub repellent?

Grub-ex is the only thing that I know of that will absolutely get rid of them I am sorry to say.

I've never seen anything in any of my organic gardening books, except to till the soil regularly in a garden and let the birds eat them or pick them out yourself. Obviously thats not very feasible for your lawn.

We've been trying so hard to get away from chemical dependency in our lawn care and gardening. I was so hoping that someone here would have a natural alternative. I'll have to read up more and do some more research. Grub-ex would be okay, I guess, it it does the trick and doesn't have to be reapplied annually. I don't want to be stuck putting it in every year.

Unforunately I haven't heard of any safe alternative either. There may be a method which is much more difficult that could work but I haven't heard of anything truly practical other than chemical agents at this point.

I've been looking for something as well and am having the same luck. Usually my father-in-law has some home "remedies" for pests or tricks with plants but he came up empty on this one. If you do hear of a way I'd like to know. I guess I'll be getting the Grub-ex this weekend.

Do you know what sort of grubs they are?

Could you borrow some chickens? They'd love to sort the problem out!!
