With their ability to chew up your turf roots and cause a wide range of issues throughout your landscape, our experts always recommend early action against grubs. With that goal in mind, here are five potential signs that your yard is dealing with an infestation.

Signs That Grubs Are Living in Your Soil

These little beetle larvae, known as grubs, will live within your soil and eat the roots of your grass, so their presence will have a noticeable effect on your yard. Here are five things to look for:

  • Yellowish turf. Your grass will turn brownish yellow as your root system becomes destabilized.
  • Spongy texture. Ongoing grub issues often produce a spongy texture throughout your lawn.
  • Beetles hovering over grass. Grubs are the offspring of beetles, so if you see these insects flying above your turf, that’s a sign that grubs may be lurking below.
  • Wild animals digging at your turf. Grubs are a food source for raccoons, birds, skunks and other animals, so these creatures will often end up digging through your turf to get to the nutrient-rich snack below.
  • Lawn sections that can be pulled up like carpet. As these pests continue to weaken your root system, you may notice that entire sections of your turf can be pulled up like a piece of carpet.
