With advanced solutions to stop these pests before or after they invade your yard, Lawn Doctor of Chattanooga is proud to offer our expert grub control throughout Ooltewah and the rest of the Chattanooga region. To begin, we’d like to provide some basic info to help you understand the threat these pests pose to your lawn.
What are Grubs?
When Japanese beetles lay eggs in your yard, those eggs will hatch into ‘grubs’. These are beetles in their larvae stage, and they have small, curly, and white, worm-like bodies. During this stage of their life, these pests live inside soil and exclusively eat turf roots. This means that an ongoing grub infestation can cause harm to your root system, and by extension, the rest of your lawn ecosystem.
How Do These Pests Hurt My Lawn?
If given the chance to linger in your soil, these pests can cause the growth, health, and beauty of your landscape to suffer. They also bring in unwanted attention for skunks, birds, raccoons, and other animals, all of which eat grubs and will often end up tearing through your turf to get to the nutrient-rich pests below.
What are The Warning Signs of a Grub Infestation?
To minimize the impact these pests can have on your landscape, it’s always smart to monitor your yard for the warning signs of a grub infestation. Here are some symptoms you should watch for:
- Changes in turf color. Has your green turf turned into a bland and dry shade of yellow?
- Strange texture. Has your turf developed an odd, spongy texture?
- Holes in your yard. Have you noticed any small, pencil-shaped holes in your turf?
