RE: [AlpacaTalk] Hope someone can give me some answers regarding grubs

 

We have used GrubX in the past on our household lawn, but have never
treated the pastures. Not sure how long animals and children have to be
kept off of it.

There is a milky spore I've heard of and I believe it is safe.

Our chickens, guineas, turkeys all come running when we are turning
the compost pile and the grubs are exposed. They act as if it's Christmas!

I guess if humans can eat them on the reality shows (ie Survivor)
the poultry can, too!

Subject: [AlpacaTalk] Hope someone can give me some answers regarding grubs

We were out in the pasture and noticed when we dug up some dirt that he had
huge grubs in the dirt. We then went to our poop pile that we had been
composting and was digging in it and rotating the dirt and it is infested
with grubs.

Does anyone have any idea on what we could use to get rid of the grubs
without hurting our alpacas. We can keep them penned up while cleaned up the
corral and then put them in the corral when we took care of their paddocks.
Just need some idea on what we could use to get rid them without harm to
alpacas.

Hope someone has some idea.

Thanks in advance
