Have discovered that we have a grub problem in our back lawn here in Mo. Due to the soil clay it's always wet. Being this time of yet late Sept is it to late to do anything about getting rid of the grubs and if not what should I use to treat the problem?

I have had great luck with a product called Milky Spores. At least I think that is the name. Its on the expensive side but its a natural bacteria that eat the grub larvae. Then it goes dormant in the lawn until more grubs show up. Then it eats them and multiplies and goes dormant again.
The product lasts around 20 years and it takes about 1 year to become established. You put a small amount every 4' away in your yard and then water it in. Don't put down more of the stuff thinking it will do a better job as this will only overpopulate an area and will not work like you think.
