Those are white-grubs and are not good for your lawn or plants. Feed them to the lizards. Lizards go nutty for white-grubs. They must taste like lobster....

These are little things that I find. I thought grubs were the big fat ones that you find on the sidewalk sometimes.
We have a natural lizard population around here, but I don't see them around my gardens much. I do see them in the front and side yard though, close to the house, usually.

Any other ways I can get rid of the grubs, organically and non-toxic?

I've never seen grubs anywhere but in the dirt. They are the larva of a moth, I think. And what you describe sure sounds like them to me. Don't know what the big things are that you see on your sidewalk, unless you mean slugs? They are like snails with no shells, and leave a slime trail behind them.

I saw some pictures. I believe they are white grubs, now. I also saw a few cutworms a while ago, but they were dead and curled up, if I can recall.

Are there any ways to remove white grubs and cutworms, just in case if I have cutworms, too? I prefer organic and non-toxic ways to control pests, as I have garlic and other herbs/edible underground tubers planted.

Hi - FYI grubs are beetle larvae, & just as there are many sizes & varieties of beetles, their larvae come in different sizes as well.
If they have little jointed legs like an insect & what looks like a hard-shelled head, then they're likely grubs.There are controls you can buy, but unless you're finding a LOT, I say, feed 'em to the lizards as suggested above - birds will eat 'em too - I've put grubs in my bird feeder. & I think ibis dig for grubs w/ their beaks....?

Ditto to what carolb w fl said...

The main problem you get with white grubs is if they are in the lawn. They feed on the roots of plants, so veggies and ornamentals can be impacted too. Most people notice a white grub problem when brown spots (dead grass spots) begin to appear in their lawn.

Another 'sign' of a grub problem is if you have a lot of noturnal visitors such as raccoons and possums. They can hear/smell the grubs inches below the ground. Then, the raccoons/possums dig for the grubs which in turn leave 'holes' in your yard.

But, the upside to this hole issue is free, non-chemical pest control. I had a huge problem w/white grubs when I first bought my house. In the morning, my yard would look like a mine field due to all the digging from the raccoons.

Eventually, the raccoons eliminate the grubs as a food source and then move on to other food sources elsewhere. This in-turn leaves your yard almost grub-free.

Every time I find a white grub, I just toss it on to the sidewalk or patio pavers. Within seconds, a lizard snaps it up.

I see them occasionally. I asked a few years back and was told the big fat ones are the larvae of the big june bugs.
I usually just squish them if I dig them up. I've not noticed any damage from them
