Anyone have recommendations or experience with a grub treatment that would not kill ant colonies as well?

White grubs - a generic name for a number of different beetle larva. Incredibly destructive to lawn and garden as they eat the roots of grass/plants.

I believe there are some BT products which will target the grubs and should be safe for the ants.

Most commonly used in reference to scarab larva.
