If you aren&#8217;t aware of the warning signs, you may not be able to catch a grub problem before this pest conducts a full-blown attack on your turf. The good news is that many of these red flags are quite easy to spot. As a result, simply staying vigilant and knowing what to watch for can help you stave off the worst damage that grubs could do to your landscape in Middletown.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Red Flags Signaling a Need for Grub Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Want to take the initiative and stand watch against grubs? Here are some of the subtle and not-so-subtle signs that this pest is at work under the surface of your <a href=\"\/jackson-nj\/lawn-fertilization\/\">lawn<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ugly brown patches of grass are taking shape.\u00a0<\/strong>Irregular patches of withering, brown turf are a serious sign of poor health. Although discoloration is a symptom of many different turf health issues, grubs are one of the most common causes of these unappealing brown patches.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A softness or sponginess underfoot.\u00a0<\/strong>Has your turf&#8217;s texture suddenly changed? Keeping track of how it feels underfoot can help you catch grubs early. If it begins to feel soft or loose, almost like fresh sod, it is highly likely that grubs are at work weakening the underground root structure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More animal activity than usual on your lawn.\u00a0<\/strong>Many animals find grubs to be a tasty treat. Once they notice the significant grub populations tunneling under your turf, they&#8217;ll begin making more frequent visits to your landscape. Some, such as raccoons and skunks, may even dig up holes as they feed and leave these behind as evidence of their activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>We Can Diagnose and Treat Your Grub Problem in Middletown<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Turning to <a href=\"\/jackson-nj\">Lawn Doctor of Lakewood-Jackson-Howell<\/a> for expert diagnosis can ensure you don&#8217;t overlook a major grub problem.
