As part of our grub control for homes in Herndon, Lawn Doctor of Fairfax North & South works hard to prevent and stop these pests in the early stages. While you can count on our experts to conduct a full analysis and diagnose any ongoing grub activity in your yard, it’s also important to familiarize yourself with the warning signs. Let’s review some professional tips for spotting your grub infestation in the early stages.
Warning Signs of a Grub Infestation
Here are some of the common effects of an ongoing grub infestation:
- Loss of green color. Grubs cause damage by chewing on your turf roots, so their presence often leads to a decline in aesthetic appeal. Your lawn simply won’t get the nourishment it needs to maintain a green color; instead, it will shift toward a yellow or brown appearance.
- Odd turf conditions. Grubs can cause your landscape to develop a spongy texture. They can also create such poor lawn conditions that your turf can be rolled up like squares of carpet.
- Sparse growth. A root system weakened by grubs will have a hard time supporting healthy growth throughout your lawn, so you can expect your lush landscape to get much thinner.
- Beetle activity. Grubs are the offspring of beetles, so the presence of beetles flying around your yard often indicates that grubs are also present in your soil.
- Animal scavenging. These beetle larvae are an excellent food source for a wide range of wild animals. This means that various creatures may end up digging through your turf and paying more attention to your yard, so keep an eye out for increased activity from birds, skunks, raccoons, and other critters.
