Spring is coming and, along with the warmer weather, homeowners will be looking forward to lush green grass growing in their yards. If you’ve experienced the damage grubs can cause before, you know that grub control is essential to a healthy, lush lawn. That’s why at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Chardon, we offer homeowners grub control as part of our comprehensive lawn care services<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What are Grubs?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Japanese, June, and chafer beetles are the source of grubs you may see later this year eating the roots of the grass growing in your lawn. These beetles will emerge in early summer, feed on plants,\u00a0and then lay eggs in the lawn. Later in the summer, those eggs will hatch and the larvae, called grubs, will begin eating the roots of the grass. As the season goes on, they will make their way deeper into the ground where they will winter over, emerging again in the early summer to start the cycle all over again.<\/p>\n

Even just a few grubs can cause significant damage. A full infestation can lead to dead spots and an unsightly lawn. Many homeowners will find grubs while digging in the yard to plant flowers, bushes, or trees. If you see grubs, you’ll need to take action by calling\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Chardon for grub control services.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t seen any grubs, but are still seeing dead patches in your lawn, you may have an undiagnosed\u00a0grub problem. Other signals that you may have grubs include birds and raccoons digging in your yard, and spongy spots that feel like freshly laid sod. A member of our lawn care team can help you to identify potential grub problems.<\/p>\n

So, how do you get rid of grubs? At Lawn Doctor of Chardon, we offer both pre-emergent treatments and treatments for existing grubs. Pre-emergent treatments are applied in spring and work to kill the grubs hibernating in the soil over the winter months. Preventing them from working their way back to the surface, only to lay more eggs is the most effect form of grub control.<\/p>\n

If you have seen grubs as you worked in your yard last summer or fall, now is the time to call our team for treatment. We can help you rid your yard of grubs, so you can enjoy a lush, green lawn this year.<\/p>\n
