Time to Combat Grubs in Cattle
County Extension Director Gary M. Peterson and Iowa State University entomologist Harald Stockdale urge systemic insecticides and early treatment for cattle grubs. Out-of-state feeders should treat soon after arrival. Losses come from poorer performance, downgraded hides, and trimming costs. Packers prefer grub-free cattle, boosting prices for treated stock. Feed-additive and pour-on options include Trolene Rid Ezy Steer Kleer Co Ral Neguron and Ruelene. Spraying requires a 250 to 350 psi sprayer and pencil stream application, which also helps control flies and lice, with August as peak timing.
