As these pests live in the soil, emerging only as they grow into adult beetles, you may never see them. The more you know about the signs of grub activity, the better prepared you can be to get started with grub control. Whether you&#8217;re dealing with strange changes on your lawn or you want to prevent grubs from having the chance to take over in the first place, contact our experts at <a href=\"\/east-sarasota-fl\/\">Lawn Doctor of East Sarasota<\/a> for support.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Red Flags Signaling a Need for Grub Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!--{cke_protected}%3Cmeta%20name%3D%22uuid%22%20content%3D%22uuidTnRssxJZxfKN%22%20%2F%3E--><\/p>\n<p>We can help you become more familiar with the most common indicators of grub activity. Here are a few red flags that\u00a0should never be ignored:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Green grass going brown.\u00a0<\/strong>While you may be disappointed\u00a0to see\u00a0that your green grass is turning brown, you may not realize that grubs have initiated this frustrating change. If the browning areas\u00a0are irregularly shaped,\u00a0it is likely that grub activity is\u00a0the culprit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A landscape with significant texture variations.\u00a0<\/strong>When you walk across your yard, do some areas feel normal while others feel spongy? If you have the sensation of walking across fresh sod in certain spots, you may be dealing with a grub infestation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased numbers\u00a0of beetles flying about.\u00a0<\/strong>Wondering\u00a0why beetles are suddenly attracted to your lawn?\u00a0Grubs are the immature form of beetles. Upon maturing to the adult stage, they will buzz about and hover near the grass, searching for the\u00a0right\u00a0space to lay their eggs and set the stage for more grubs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Signs that animals are digging in your yard.\u00a0<\/strong>Does your yard appear to have been dug up, with random holes here and there?\u00a0This\u00a0may be the work of raccoons or skunks, the predators of grubs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grass that is peeling away from the earth.\u00a0<\/strong>Because grubs\u00a0can detach roots from grass blades,\u00a0they make it possible for\u00a0grass to be peeled away in chunks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>We Can Diagnose and Treat Your Grub Problem in Sarasota<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Look to our team for reliable diagnosis and treatment of grub issues in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sarasota<\/li>\n<li>East Sarasota<\/li>\n<li>Lakewood Ranch<\/li>\n<li>Sarasota Springs<\/li>\n<li>Osprey<\/li>\n<li>Venice<\/li>\n<li>Plantation<\/li>\n<li>North Port<\/li>\n<li>Port Charlotte<\/li>\n<li>Or a community in the surrounding area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For grub control in Sarasota,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/east-sarasota-fl\/contact_lawn_doctor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/east-sarasota-fl\/contact_lawn_doctor\/\">contact us<\/a>\u00a0today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you know how to tell if your lawn is being invaded by grubs?
