Thanks to our grub control service in Massapequa, Lawn Doctor of Long Island provides a trusted defense for local lawns. We can stop these damaging insects before or during infestation while providing the expert lawn care support you need to repair the damage they cause. To get started, let’s discuss some important information about these soil-dwelling pests.
Why Grub Activity is Bad For Your Lawn
The presence of grubs is always bad for your landscape because these insects eat the roots of your turf. Grub worms are the larvae of Japanese beetles, and once those eggs hatch in your yard, they will continue to do more and more damage.
In addition, the presence of grub worms attracts other dangerous, unwanted wildlife like raccoons, that can further damage your lawn and property. In many cases, the damage caused by scavenging animals can be as bad or worse as the damage caused directly by grubs.
Warning Signs of a Grub infestation
An active grub infestation can be a major hassle, so you’re always better off getting ahead of this issue with our proactive service. However, this isn’t always possible, so it’s a good idea to understand the potential warning signs of an active grub infestation. Here are two things to look for:
- Deteriorating lawn quality. Medium to large brown spots in your lawn in the late Summer and Fall that are easily picked up.
- Wild animal intrusion. If you notice any wild animals digging around in your soil, this is likely caused by the presence of grubs.
