Before pulling up any more green grass, I'd go with a quick-kill grub treatment -- a lawn insecticide containing either Sevin (carbaryl) or Dylox (trichlorfon). Water it in after applying.

Sevin Lawn-Insect Granules or Bayer Advanced 24-hour Grub Killer work on feeding grubs. For organic control, use Milky Spore. Apply grub pesticides before rain or use a sprinkler to water it in.

Sevin is a nerve poison that works when contacted or eaten so the caterpillars need to be present at the time you spray or soon after.

Sevin is great on turf because it kills above ground (ants, ticks, chinch bugs, sod webworms, mosquitoes, fleas and many more) and below ground (grubs and mole crickets) insects.

“Eight” insecticide, available in dust or spray, kills virtually every garden or home insect on flowers, vegetables, or around the home. Protection lasts 30 days.
