With our trusted grub control service for local homeowners, Lawn Doctor of Birmingham-Hoover can make sure these pests do not ruin your turf. To help you understand the threat that these larvae pose to your turf, let’s go over some key facts.
What Are Grubs?
Grubs are the offspring that result from Japanese beetle eggs. These larvae inhabit the soil within your lawn and chew on the roots of your turf. They are small, white, and have C-shaped bodies, so they aren’t very difficult to spot.
How Do These Pests Hurt My Lawn?
The longer these pests chew on your turf roots, the more damage you can expect to your lawn. Weakened roots can lead to poor nutrient flow throughout your lawn ecosystem, causing bland color, weak growth, and other issues. Grubs also have nutrient-rich bodies, so they make a great food source for birds and other creatures. This can lead to further damage, as these animals will need to dig up your turf and soil to get to the grubs below.
What are the Warning Signs of a Grub Infestation?
Grubs can produce yellow turf, sparse growth, dead patches, spongy lawn texture, and other negative effects. You may also notice their presence due to the amount of animal activity around your yard. If you want to remove the mystery entirely, you can simply search your soil for those tiny white worms.
