holy cats, I have some VERY important information for all of you. But first, let me tell you that I recently had landscaping done in my backyard. It looks fabulous of course! Jon Wallenburg from Solid Rock Landscaping performed the work of art and I have given many tours already. Jon has gotten two referrals already! How bout that?!!

Ok, so let's get back to my "VERY" important information. The reason I brought up my yard is because my neighbor has this problem with nasty little varmints. We think they are moles.......ugh! Do you know what those dang moles like to eat???? GRUBS! And where do you think those grubs come from????? Japanese BEETLES! You heard me right. Here is the skinny:

Japanese Beetles emerge from the ground in June and July, eat up the plants in your landscape, lay eggs in your lawn, and then the larva hatch into grubs that will appear as next years Japanese Beetles.

The grubs feed on the roots of your turf grasses and can ruin a lawn. Apparently, Japanese Beetle grubs are tasty if you happen to be a mole or skunk so these two varmints tear up your lawn to get to the grubs. They will do a lot of damage foraging for grubs. So in order to keep the skunks and moles from destroying your lawn, you have to rid your lawn of Japanese Beetle
grubs.

Are you getting the picture???.........moles next store......hunting grubs! Ugh! Well, my plan of action is as follows.........get rid of the grubs!! Ah yes, I layed down some real powerful grub killer! And, hopefully NO Japanese BEETLES!

Sheesh, my life can be so complicated :)
