Here\u2019s why: the little white c-shaped creatures are the immature form of Japanese scarab beetles. They\u2019re determined to eat as much as they can, as quickly as they can, in order to successfully grow up and create more grubs. It\u2019s the circle of life \u2013 but the fact that the #1 food choice of grubs is the root system of your lawn, that circle of life can leave you with ugly bare patches on your lawn.<\/p>\n<p>The grubs are waking up from their long winter snooze now, and they\u2019re hungry. If you see brown patches on your lawn that never turn green, or your turf seems kind of spongy when you step on it, give your Duxbury lawn service a call. This is the ideal time to start grub proofing; a six part process that works best when you have two treatments in the spring, two in the summer, and a final two in the fall. This comprehensive approach tackles the grubs at every stage in their life cycle: spring time grubs, summer time pupae that turn into beetles, and eggs in the fall.<\/p>\n<p>Preventing grub damage is easier than repairing it, but if the grubs have already been enjoying your lawn, don\u2019t lose hope. Your Duxbury lawn service can help! Once the grub treatment has been applied, bare patches in the lawn can be addressed. The appropriate remedy varies by situation but can include removing damaged sod, reseeding, fertilizing, aeration and more. If you\u2019ve got grub damage and you want your lovely green lawn back, call us: we\u2019ll be happy to take a look at what\u2019s going on and let you know what can be done to make it better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure when it comes to grubs and your Duxbury lawn.
