Common Lawn Pests That Eat Your Grass Plants

The pests that bite your skin and invade your home are much easier to spot. However, if you’re not actively monitoring your lawn, you may not notice the presence of certain pests that eat your turf and cause serious lawn care issues. Here are three creatures you need to be aware of:

Grubs. Grubs are the larval offspring of common lawn beetles. They have small white bodies and live in the upper part of your soil. They rely on your turf roots as their only food source.
Sod Webworms. Sod webworms are caterpillars that hatch from the eggs of lawn moths. They eat grass plants and create tunnels in your soil.
Chinch Bugs. Chinch bugs are lawn insects that eat your grass plants and spread toxins that harm your plants.

Signs That Your Yard is Being Eaten by Lawn Pests

When these pests are active in your yard, you can be sure your turf will suffer. Here are a few signs of ongoing lawn pest activity:

Insects hovering. Grubs and sod webworms come from beetles and moths, so you’ll notice these insects flying around your yard.
Changes in lawn color. When these pests are allowed to chew on your turf roots and grass plants, your lawn will color and turn yellow or brown.
Declining lawn growth. If grubs are nibbling on your root system, your lawn will fail to maintain healthy growth, leading to a sparse and patchy landscape.
Dry conditions. Grub infestation can create dry conditions that mirror those of a drought.
Increased animal activity. Sod webworms and grubs both attract attention from scavenging animals, as they make for a very nice food source.
