Spotting the signs of a grub infestation in the early stages can make a huge difference when it comes to protecting your yard. With our professional grub control service for homes in New Cumberland, Lawn Doctor of Camp Hill-Mechanicsburg can stop these pests and prevent further damage to your landscape. Let’s take a look at five ways you can monitor your yard for grub activity.
Signs That Grubs are Living in Your Soil
These beetle larvae are subterranean creatures that consume the roots of your turf. If they inhabit your soil, you can expect a wide range of lawn damage until the problem is solved. Some signs of their presence include:
- Loss of green color. Without a strong root system, your grass won’t get the support it needs to maintain that green color. Instead, a grub-infested lawn will turn yellow or brown.
- Weird texture. With prolonged grub activity in your soil, you can expect your turf to develop a spongy texture.
- Poor growth. Grubs will cause your lawn to thin out, so you’ll have dead patches of turf and a sparsely growing lawn.
- Animal scavenging. Grubs have nutrient-rich bodies that make a great meal for birds, raccoons, skunks, and other animals. So, if grubs inhabit your soil, you will likely see these critters rooting around, causing further damage to your lawn.
- Carpet-like turf. With the damage grubs can do to your root system, their presence often leads to patches of turf being disconnected from the roots below. This means you will be able to pull up areas of your lawn as if they were patches of carpet.
