One 14.35 lb. bag of Scotts GrubEx1 Season Long Grub Killer covers 5,000 sq. ft. Review: Helps reduce Japanese beetles! Don't expect a total miracle. - I bought this specifically to get a handle on the Japanese beetles tearing up my ornamental plants every summer. It definitely makes a noticeable difference, but it is important to have realistic expectations. This isn't a magic bullet that will completely wipe out every pest in your yard. You are still going to see some grubs and beetles around, but the overall numbers are way down compared to previous years. It keeps the population small enough that my plants can actually survive the season instead of getting completely skeletal. Worth using as part of your lawn routine, just don't expect a 100% bug-free yard. Review: ★★★★★ The Grub Killer That Saved My Lawn! - Scotts GrubEx1 Season Long Grub Killer is one of the best lawn care products I have ever used. I was dealing with a serious grub problem, and this product delivered exactly what it promised. It eliminated the eggs, larvae, and grubs that were damaging my yard and helped restore the health of my lawn. I have St. Augustine grass, which is known to be more vulnerable to certain pests, so keeping it protected can be a challenge. After applying GrubEx1, I noticed a major improvement and finally had confidence that my lawn was protected from these destructive pests. What impressed me most is that this product doesn't just treat the problem after the damage is done — it helps stop the grub life cycle before it becomes a bigger issue. It was easy to apply, effective, and gave me the results I was looking for. If you take pride in your lawn and want reliable grub protection, Scotts GrubEx1 is worth every penny. It did exactly what I needed it to do, and I will continue using it as part of my lawn maintenance routine.

Just keep any leftover product in the original bag and store it somewhere cool and dry, like a garage or shed, where kids and pets can't get to it. **Q: When is the best time to apply GrubEx?** A: The sweet spot is spring through early summer.

It also suppresses chinchbugs. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helps reduce Japanese beetles!

Plan on buying two bags. *by P***S on June 7, 2026* Did get rid of the grub worms but it didn't keep them gone for the length of time it's says on the packaging. I think they just need to make it stronger. Cuz I didn't plan on doing it again in 2 weeks. ## Frequently Bought Together - Scotts GrubEx1 Season Long Grub Killer, Protects Lawns Up to 4 Months, 5,000 sq. ft., 14.35 lbs. - Scotts DiseaseEx Lawn Fungicide, Controls and Prevents Disease Up to 4 Weeks, Treats Up to 5,000 sq. ft., 10 lbs. - Scotts Turf Builder SummerGuard Lawn Food with Insect Control, 13.35 lbs., 5,000 sq. ft. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/15192152-grubex1-season-long-grub-killer-5-000-sq-ft-protects](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/15192152-grubex1-season-long-grub-killer-5-000-sq-ft-protects) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
