The presence of grubs on your lawn can lead to unhealthy turf overall and the appearance of brown patches of dead grass. If you want to prevent the grubs and their consequences on your lawn, it’s important to act early. To keep these pesky bugs away from your lawn’s delicate root system, get started with our grub control treatments at Lawn Doctor of Winter Haven-Lakeland. We understand the importance of early intervention against grubs and can help ensure your lawn receives all the benefits of treatments delivered at the correct point in the lifecycle of these destructive critters.
Why Early Action Against Grubs is a Must
Waiting until you see evidence of grub damage is a particularly risky approach that can cause a lot of headaches in the long run. That’s because these C-shaped creatures can do quite a bit of damage despite their small size. Because their primary food source is organic matter, such as plant roots, they are particularly adept at eating through underground turfgrass root systems. This process cuts off grass blades from their roots in the soil, which prevents grass from receiving nutrients and water, causing its eventual death.
When you take early action and reach out to our professional team for grub control treatments, you can count on an end to the seasonal appearance of grubs. Keep in mind that these pests are actually the larvae of beetles. Once they nourish themselves on grassroots and then fully mature, they will lay more eggs in the soil, producing the next generation of grubs. As a result, having your lawn treated in the early spring as grubs are hatching can make a huge difference in whether another population of root-eaters will crop up on your lawn.
