Thank you for reaching out to ask2.extension.
It is often best to put down grub preventers from April through mid-July when grubs are ready to hatch. If you want to stop grub damage right away, the best time to apply a grub killer to your lawn is when you first see signs of damage.
I can’t suggest any brand to you. Check at a reputable garden center. Also check for damage to newly seeded lawns before applying.
