Do you want to avoid giving grubs the upper hand on your lawn? We recommend reviewing the most common signs of grub problems so that you can take early action through comprehensive grub control. Below, we are going over some major red flags of grub activity to help homeowners in Youngsville avoid a full-blown grub infestation.
Red Flags Signaling a Need for Grub Control
If your answer is yes to any of the following questions, you may be facing a grub problem:
- Have you seen moths or beetles flying around? If these bugs are hovering above your grass, you can suspect they have laid eggs that will soon produce turf-eating grubs.
- Are there suspicious holes in your landscape? Does it look like an animal has dug up holes in your yard? Raccoons, skunks, and birds may be seeking out the grubs they know to be hiding underneath the surface of your lawn. These animals love snacking on grubs and will go the extra mile to find them underground.
- Have mysterious brown patches appeared on your lawn? Brown patches of turf are a telltale sign that your lawn is dying off. In many cases, these patches indicate that grubs have been eating away at root systems, causing the grass aboveground to change color and wither away.
- Do areas of your lawn feel spongy or bouncy? Grubs can change the texture of your turf, making it feel loose or unusually soft when you walk across it.
- Can you pull up a layer of turf as if it were a rug on the floor? Grass becomes detached from its roots and can easily be peeled up when grubs have completely eaten away at root systems.
