Grub Control in Naples

Without proper service, grubs can become a major threat to the health, growth, and beauty of your lawn. However, thanks to our professional grub control in Naples, Lawn Doctor of Fort Myers can step in and provide comprehensive protection for your landscape.

To make sure you take action as soon as possible, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the warning signs of a grub infestation. Let’s take a look.

Signs of a Current Grub Infestation

Grubs are the larvae of beetles, so the first indicator that you may have a grub issue is if you see beetles commonly hovering above your turf. These small larvae will occupy the interior of your soil, consuming your turf roots as their only means of sustenance. This activity can have numerous negative effects on your lawn, including:

  • Aesthetic effects. With declining root health, you can expect the color of your turf to shift from green to yellow. Your lawn will also get thinner and develop a weird spongy texture.
  • Turf damage. The effects of an ongoing grub infestation can mirror those of a drought. You’ll have a bland, dry, and patchy lawn with turf that can often be rolled up like strips of carpet.
  • Animal activity. In addition to all the direct damage they cause, grubs also attract wild animals. This can lead to further destruction as these creatures dig through your landscape.
