Grubs are subterranean beetle larvae that spend their time eating the roots of turf, so early detection can make a huge difference in the health of your lawn. As part of our grub control service for Malvern area homeowners, Lawn Doctor of Hot Springs would like to share some helpful tips for diagnosing an active grub infestation. Let’s take a look.
Signs That Grubs Are Living in Your Soil
Grubs can cause plenty of damage to your root system and the surrounding lawn environment. Here are some of the warning signs:
- Aesthetic decline. If your lush and vibrant green landscape has turned yellow or brown, grubs are a potential cause.
- Odd turf conditions. A grub infestation can often lead to a spongy turf texture. Also, you may notice that patches of your lawn can be rolled up like sections of carpet.
- Thinning growth. With the disruption caused to your root system, grub activity will likely lead to poor health and weaker growth.
- Moth or beetle activity. Since grubs are the offspring of these insects, look for signs of moth or beetle activity around your yard.
- Animal scavenging. In addition to causing damage on their own, grubs also attract wild animals who often do further harm by digging up your turf. If you notice raccoons, moles, skunks, birds, or any other type of wild critter rooting through your soil, grubs are the likely cause.
