Stopping grubs should be a top priority if you want to preserve your healthy and beautiful landscape. That’s because these beetle larvae can cause thinning growth and other damage to your lawn. With our grub control in Westport, Lawn Doctor of Rhode Island & South Coast Massachusetts can provide the service you need to contain this threat.
Grubs live within your soil, and they cause major problems due to their consumption of turf roots. These pests will continue to chew on your roots as long as they are in your yard. Left untreated, they can cause expensive and complex problems throughout your lawn ecosystem. In addition, grubs are a preferred source of nutrition for many wild animals, so you may end up with additional lawn damage due to their digging.
Warning Signs of a Grub infestation
Our experts recommend a proactive approach to protect your lawn from the damage caused by grubs. If you notice beetles around in your yard, it’s best to call us right away so that we can deploy our preventative solution. However, there’s a chance these pests are already living in your soil, so here are four warning signs to watch out for:
- Drought symptoms. Is your lawn looking dry and bland despite consistent watering?
- Color changes. Has your turf turned a yellowish color?
- Animal infestation. Have you noticed increased activity by birds and other wild animals around your yard?
- Spongy texture. Is your turf ‘spongy’ to the touch or under foot?
