How can I get rid of grub worms naturally? When we get rain like this we have 300+ come out of the ground. It's so many the chickens can't eat them all.

I don't know of any natural control method. They tend to do better on wet years, up to a point...

Nah moles and skunks dig them up all over my yard. I really don’t know how to naturally get rid of them. I know to treat your yard is pretty expensive and rarely works anyway so I haven’t bothered.

I don't want to treat the yard with chemicals due to the chickens eatting them and the kids and dogs playing in the yard. I've heard the same thing about them not working

It's been dry all year here so we are going to have a wet winter I think. There as fat as my thumb and about 2in. long

Green June Beetle, or do you have some other beetles down your way?

Sounds too big to be a green June bug.
Nevermind I’m thinking of all the little Japanese beetle larvae I have.

We have June bugs, Japanese beetles, and dung beetles. I don't know of any others we have

We have smaller ones also but most are about 2" or 1/2"

The Green June Beetles are about the largest I know of up north, so I was just wondering if you had anything similar or larger. Do they cause a problem for your lawn or birds? Most years they are just there. Some years the skunks and coons tear up the grass, but not usually.
