Grub Control in the Jackson Area

You’ve taken great care of your lawn throughout the year. But now you’re noticing brown or dead patches scattered throughout it. You’re watering and fertilizing, yet nothing seems to be working. What gives? Unfortunately, you might have grubs. As local grub control specialists, Lawn Doctor of Tupelo-Corinth-Jackson knows these white, slimy pests like to feed on grass roots, weakening your lawn and causing areas to die off. But with fast action, you can get your infestation under control and prevent future outbreaks.

Signs Your Lawn Has Grubs

They’re small, white, C-shaped – and their favorite meal is grass roots. So, if you’re noticing some of the following signs in your yard, it could be due to grubs:
  • Turf feels spongy when you walk over it.
  • Areas of your lawn are thinning, despite watering and fertilizing.
  • There are irregularly shaped brown or dead patches of grass throughout your lawn.
  • You’re noticing an influx of birds, raccoons, and skunks (which consume grubs) in your yard.
Still not sure whether you have grubs? Perform this simple test to check. Lift up a piece of the turf where it’s brown or dead. If it rolls back like a carpet, you probably have grubs that have eaten through your grass roots.
