Red Flags Signaling a Need for Grub Control
There are a few key indicators that grubs are present under the soil’s surface and are actively eating away at your lawn’s roots. Here are some to keep in mind if you want to stay vigilant in the face of a potential grub infestation:
- Grass that feels loose, spongy, or soft. Let your feet do the work of feeling out a grub invasion. If certain areas possess a normal firmness while others feel bouncy, like fresh sod, you could be dealing with the effects of grubs damaging underground grass root systems.
- Turf can easily be lifted away from the soil. Once grubs have cut through grass roots, there won’t be anything left holding your turf to the ground, and you will be able to pull up patches of grass with ease.
- Increased activity of beetles or tiny moths. As beetles and tiny moths are responsible for producing the larvae known as grubs, increases in their populations should be considered a sign that something is amiss.
- Ugly brown patches of grass. Has your turf started to turn brown in oddly shaped sections? Because the feeding habits of grubs prevent grass from absorbing water and nutrients, they can cause it to change color and die off.
- Dug-up areas and holes. If it looks like raccoons or other scavengers have been digging around on your landscape, you can bet they are digging up and feeding on grubs, one of their favorite snacks.
