A strong and resilient lawn requires constant support from the roots. So, any pest that attacks your root system should be seen as a major threat. With their tendency to nibble on your turf roots, grubs can cause wide-ranging harm throughout your lawn. Fortunately, with our expert grub control, Lawn Doctor of Fort Walton Beach-Destin-Niceville can neutralize the threat and restore your landscape.
The earlier you take action to stop grubs, the more you can minimize the hassle and expense of dealing with their infestation. For this reason, we recommend that every homeowner familiarizes themselves with the warning signs. Let’s take a look at three ways to spot a grub infestation.
Signs of a Current Grub Infestation
These pests result from beetles laying eggs in your yard. Grubs are those same beetles in their larva stage, and during this phase of their life cycle, your roots are their only source of food. This means that they will constantly chew on your root system, creating many problems for your lawn. Here are some of the effects to monitor:
- Lawn damage. Grub activity often leads to bland color and poor growth, so if the quality of your lawn begins to deteriorate with no other obvious cause, you may have a grub issue.
- Drought-like conditions. These pests also create dry conditions that can persist no matter how often you provide water. If you regularly water your turf, only to see constantly dry conditions, this is another possible sign of grubs.
- Animal activity. Have you noticed an uptick in wild animal activity around your yard? Grubs are eaten by many different creatures, so if these animals become aware of a grub infestation in your soil, you can expect them to be rooting around.
