Cool season grasses may be planted to green lawns in winter but no mix of cool and warm season grasses yields year round green turf. Overseeding Bermuda with annual ryegrass gives best results though ryegrass is pale when unfertilized and rusts in spring.

Cattle grub control recommends rotenone sprays or dusts, with two applications sometimes needed, plus tick control via ear flushing.
