A thriving green landscape needs constant support from a strong root system, so pests like grubs that attack your roots pose a major threat. Fortunately, our experts at Lawn Doctor of The North Shore have the solutions you need to protect your lawn. With our comprehensive grub control throughout Huntington, we offer professional treatments to prevent, neutralize, and help your lawn recover from grubs.
As a starting point, let’s take a look at three key warning signs of a potential grub infestation.
Signs of a Current Grub Infestation
The pests we refer to as ‘grubs’, are simply beetles in the larva stage of their life cycle. So, the first red flag for a potential grub infestation is if you notice these flying insects hovering above your soil and turf. Grubs are subterranean creatures that exist inside your soil and only eat the roots of your turf, so you can also notice their presence by monitoring the effects on your lawn. Here’s what to look for:
- Lawn damage. A destabilized root system can lead to poor growth, loss of green color, spongy texture, and other lawn damage.
- Drought-like conditions. Your weakened roots will also struggle to absorb moisture, leading to a lawn ecosystem that is always dry.
- Animal activity. Another sign of grubs is the increased presence of birds and other wild animals. These creatures are attracted to grubs as a food source, so they’ll rip through your turf to access the easy meal living below.
