Does grub killer effect cicadas

Grub killers primarily target the larvae of beetles and other pests in the soil, which means they are not designed to affect cicadas. Cicadas are not grubs; they are insects that spend most of their life cycle underground as nymphs before emerging as adults. While using grub killers might impact the ecosystem, they do not specifically harm cicadas. Therefore, if your goal is to manage cicada populations, other methods would be more effective.
