With expert solutions to prevent and stop these pests, grub control from Lawn Doctor of Auburn-Opelika-LaGrange is a great way to protect your yard and spare yourself from the hassle. Let’s take a look at some important facts every homeowner should know about grubs.
What are Grubs?
These tiny worm-like creatures are the larvae of Japanese beetles. When these pests hatch in your yard, you can expect them to live within your soil and eat the roots of your turf. If you notice beetles flying around your yard, it’s always a good idea to call our experts and schedule our proactive treatment.
How Do These Pests Hurt My Lawn?
Due to their consumption of turf roots, grubs are a nuisance you should aim to avoid. These pests can cause the overall health and growth of your lawn to suffer, as their impact on your roots can prevent your lawn from getting proper nutrition. This can lead to bland color, thinning grass, and other issues.
Another major disadvantage of a grub infestation is that these pests are rich in nutrients, so they draw the attention of many scavenging animals. This includes birds, raccoons, skunks, and more. To get to those tasty grubs lurking below, these critters need to dig up your turf, causing additional harm.
Warning Signs of a Grub Infestation
Here are some indicators that your soil may be full of grubs:
- Changes in turf color. Have you noticed the color of your grass getting more and more bland?
- Drought symptoms. Is your turf getting thinner and dryer despite regular moisture?
- Animal digging. Have you seen any wild animals rooting around, creating holes in your turf?
