Our professional grub control regimen can help get grubs off your lawn and prevent further damage from affecting the visual appeal of your outdoor property. While these treatments are quite effective, early detection is a must to intervene against grub damage. Getting familiar with the signs of an infestation can help you be proactive about getting the treatment your lawn in Graham may need.
Red Flags Signaling a Need for Grub Control
At Lawn Doctor of Hillsborough-Mebane, we always encourage local homeowners to keep up with the warning signs of grub activity. If you want to avoid unsightly damage to your lawn, call us as soon as you notice the following:
- Increased populations of beetles or tiny moths. While these creatures may seem innocuous, they are also a major red flag. Grubs are the youngest, most immature version of beetles and moths. Once they mature and emerge from the soil, they will start flying around on your lawn, and laying the eggs will later spark a grub invasion.
- Patches of grass that are becoming brown. Brown grass should always raise suspicion of a lawn health issue. When these brown areas arise in irregularly shaped patches, grubs are the primary suspect.
- An unusual bounciness when you walk on your lawn. Grubs attack lawn roots, depriving them of strength. With weaker roots beneath the soil, your grass will start to feel soft or sponge-like underfoot.
- Evidence of nocturnal animal activity. There are several predators of grubs, including skunks and raccoons, who may visit your lawn for a midnight snack. Evidence of this activity includes mysterious dug-up holes and grass that has been torn up.
- Swaths of grass starting to detach from the soil. After grubs have severed grass roots from the turf on the surface, you’ll have the ability to strip this grass off of the soil as if you were stripping carpet from a hard floor.
