The present invention relates to methods and uses for combating or controlling invertebrate pests in turf, which comprises applying a mixture comprising alpha-cypermethrin and dinotefuran to the turf area, the invertebrate pests or their food supply, habitat or breeding grounds. The most common invertebrate pests in turf are certain worms, e.g. Armyworm, ants, e.g. fire ants, bugs and in particular white grubs, which are larvae of different kinds of insects, mainly of bugs. They usually live in the soil and damage the turf grass plants by feeding on their roots. The turf pests can be efficiently combated or controlled by the methods and uses of the invention.
