As an introduction to our expert grub control for Lee area homeowners, Lawn Doctor of the Greater Berkshires would like to share some vital facts about these worm-like pests. Let’s take a look.
What are Grubs?
Grubs are small, C-shaped beetle larvae with white bodies. They live in the soil beneath your turf, and they consume your roots as their only food source. Their presence in your yard will lead to deteriorating lawn conditions, including poor growth, yellow lawn color, and more. They also bring unwanted attention from various wild animals such as raccoons, moles, skunks, and birds, leading to further lawn damage.
Warning Signs of a Grub infestation
Grub issues can be avoided with our proactive service, so you don’t need to find these pests before giving us a call. With that being said, every homeowner needs to understand what the warning signs of a grub infestation look like, so here are a few things to monitor:
- Turf color. A lawn infested with grubs will often turn from bright green to bland yellow.
- Thinning grass. Without properly functioning roots, your lawn ecosystem will not be able to support strong growth, leading to a thinner, patchier lawn.
- Drought symptoms. If these pests are in your soil damaging your roots, your lawn may experience symptoms that mirror those of a drought.
- Animal digging. If your soil is rich in grubs, you may notice a greater presence of birds and other wild animals around your yard.
