Q: Dear Dave,
I have a raised hot pepper garden with 40 different types of peppers. Lately I’ve been finding grubs in the bed—will this hurt the plants? If so, what can be used to get rid of them?
Thanks,
Gordon
A: Gordon:
Most of the time grubs are common cutworms that attack only pepper seedlings and chop them down at the base. If you are not noticing any problems with your plants, do nothing. If the plants are wilting or dropping leaves and/or pods, work Sevin dust into the soil.
