    These grubs are all throughout my gardens due to the high prevalence of Japanese beetles in my area. Would definitely love to hear how to deal with them because my only methods now are to turn the soil as often as I can to dig a bunch of them out and then feed them to my quail. That and swatting the adults with a racket like little badminton "birdies"

The birds were a big fans of repot day. They'd have scores of grubs to feast on.

    This year 2023 in my garden I hanged Irish Spring soap cut up 6-8 pieces put it in a small plastic boxes. Each box put 3-4 pieces in. Make some holes to let the senses out. Use garden wire though the hole on top of the box then hang it all over the garden. If the plant is attracted to Japanese beetle hangs at least three or more . now is October I only seen one Japanese Beetle. Very happy. Use morph ball and some tiger balms inside the little box work as well too. That how I did last season. For climbing beans I used garden nets on top of it as well. I been struggle with it for years now I found a successful way to deal with it. Also I removed some plant it like to eat. Try it yourself next season 👍

    Those will be in the other pot, too.
    They are very useful in the compost. I always bring them there or put them in an extra-pod with sacrificial plants. Beautiful bugs, too. Totally woth a dead plant here and there.
    No real issue in plain garden soil.

    i see diggings on our backyard every morning so i decided to check on our camera. it was a skunk! she loved it. we don't see the diggings anymore & noticed our potted avocado plant not doing well. i did what was on this video & found grubs thriving on the roots, took out all that i can see. now the plant is doing better. fingers crossed... @jacque - thanks for sharing this video. stay awesome!

    On a positive note, those grubs are really good fish bait.

    In Australia we have a similar grub that is from the christmas beetle. We love them and they don't harm the plants that I know of. They look so similar to the lawn beetle that people spray them. Unfortunately there are less and less Christmas beetles around every year.😢

    I had those exact same grubs in our garden. They are called Chafer Grubs and they are the larval stage of a June beetle. Our chickens didn’t care for them very much.

    I first thought this was a new strain of super spicy chili called "sudden death plant".
