A Homeowner’s Guide to Grub Control in Metro West
Because grubs are small and seemingly unobtrusive, it’s easy for them to escape notice until it’s too late. With that in mind, here’s what homeowners in the Metro West area should know about these critters:
- What do they look like? Grubs are an early (larval) stage of beetles, so you’ll find that different species look a bit different. That said, white grubs are typically found in the soil, looking soft, plump, and off-white, with noticeable brown heads. Length can vary based on their maturity, but they can grow as long as 1.5 inches, and will curl into a C when provoked or disturbed.
- What are common indicators? You may find grubs while digging around your yard, but that’s not the only sign of their presence. Look for unusually soft or spongy areas of your lawn. You may find dug-up areas where raccoons, birds, or other creatures have searched for grubs. If your grass is sporting brown spots, or if it’s easy to peel away from the ground, that’s also a potential sign of grubs.
- What can Lawn Doctor of Boston do? If you think grubs may be present on your lawn in the Metro West area, you’ll want to get in touch with our lawn care experts as soon as possible.
