Red Flags Signaling a Need for Grub Control
As challenging as it can be to remedy grub damage, it is relatively easy to spot signs of this pest at work. It’s important to jump into action if any of these events occur:
- You can see your lawn turning brown in random patches. When you want your grass to stay a healthy green, it can be so frustrating to watch it turn brown. This is an indicator of poor health and also often signals that grubs have been feeding on grass roots.
- Some areas of your landscape feel strangely soft underfoot. The damage that grubs do to the structure of your lawn’s roots will cause it to become spongy and soft in certain areas as you walk across it.
- You’ve noticed evidence of animal activity on your lawn, including dug-up areas in the soil. Because grubs have many predators, including raccoons and skunks, you may find that these wild animals are starting to visit your lawn and dig it up as they treat themselves to a meal of grubs.
- Patches of turf are easy to peel away, much like a loose piece of carpet. When grubs sever root systems from whole patches of grass, this turf starts to lift and can be peeled away with relative ease.
