They burrow down and come up to feed in august September. Which is when you see grub damage.

Wow, ok, thanks. The timing may be a little different here, possibly? The beetles hit in the late spring/early summer and were gone by late summer.
I know we have grubs as I have dug a few up when planting, plus the skunks have caused some serious damage looking for grubs as well.
That is one reason I am battling with my neighbor as I want to clean up the dam area where the skunks make a home.
In Illinois, I would put down a product that I believe was called Grubx in August, is that the same thing?
