grubs eating broccoli roots

I pulled out a broccoli plants today that was dying. the roots were ate up. I took a shovel and dug around and found 2 fat white grubs. I've had about 4 plants die that way now.
what can I do to stop this before they eat all my plants?

I was comparing the grub I seen with a Japanese grub and it looks like what I have are june bug grubs. its over 1" 1/2 inch long. How do I kill them with out tearing out my garden or using heavy poisons?
