Question:

On one of your popular radio show, I believe, you suggested that liquid detergent could be used for grub control. Is my recollection correct?

Answer:

I haven't gone far enough out on a limb to suggest this for grubs because I don't think it will work. The soild will dissipate the oil in the soap before it gets to the grubs. Your local nursery should be able to help here.
