I’ve had them really bad some years, and not too bad others. They seem to ebb and flow at whatever pace they choose here, one year heavy, one year not as bad. I’ve wondered about trying to control grubs too, but my problem is the field to the East of my cherries & peaches is in row crops, as is the rest of the ground that’s not timber. Last year the JB’s were also out there on the Soybeans pretty bad. Thus year it’s in corn and they’re not seemingly all over the corn as bad, but while mowing yesterday near the edge of the corn I did notice some JB clusters on several marestail weeds.
I think if I was trying to control them in town I would for sure spread out some grub killer in my yard, but I don’t really think it’d be that cost effective for my situation here.
