Grub killer for what purpose? To feed the grubs to your frogs? To remove pests? I've never heard of grubs being a problem, but I am from Canada

Try a product containing Bt. There are also some nematodes that you can get to do the work.

What is Bt?
I'd be hesitant to introduce a non-native nematode; so it depends on where you live. Where would you get somthing like that?

BT is bacillus thuringiensis, a bacteria which is specific to many insects esp in their larval form. It can be gotten from most good garden centers.

Milky Spore...it will take some time to multiply, but in time it will destroy all the grubs.
It is a fungus ( spore) that basically eats them from the inside out.
Try a place called Gardens Alive...or just do a search for milky spore.
I hate grubs...grubs bring skunks and lots of other vermin...and skunks bring...Stink!
Plus the damage the grubs AND skunks do to your lawn.
A vicious cycle.
Good Luck
