You may not know it from looking at them, but those tiny white larvae in your soil can cause all sorts of problems for your lawn. Fortunately, with our grub control services, Lawn Doctor of Lebanon and Berks provides the detailed support you need to prevent major damage to your landscape. To start things off, let’s go over some crucial facts about these common yard pests.
What are Grubs?
Grubs are simply beetles in their larvae stage. These creatures are subterranean in nature, spending their time beneath your soil, eating the roots of your turf. With prolonged grub activity in your yard, the quality of your lawn will deteriorate, and you’ll be faced with expensive and difficult lawn restoration projects.
How Do These Pests Hurt My Lawn?
The damage caused by grubs includes:
Direct Effects
Their habit of eating turf roots is a major problem for your lawn. That’s because healthy green grass requires a stable root system to provide nutrition and support. With your roots weakened by the nibbling of these grubs, you can expect your lawn to lose its green color and shift to more of a brown or yellow shade. You can also expect dry conditions, poor growth, spongy texture, and other negative effects.
Indirect Effects
Grubs cause additional problems by bringing unwanted attention from wild animals. These small critters make for an easy meal, so birds and other scavenging creatures will dig up your turf to access the nutritious larvae squirming below.
