Expert Response
You will find the information you need in the following publications.
The first one explains how to control turf damaging grubs, what products can be used, and when to apply them. Although the information was prepared to Michigan residents, most of it also applies to Minnesota. European chafers are present in Minnesota, but are less common here than in Michigan.
The second publication explains how to repair/renovate your grub damaged lawn, and the third one contains general lawn care information.
