We also provide comprehensive support to address grub-related lawn damage and restore your healthy landscape. To get started, let’s take a look at why grubs are so bad for your yard.
Why Grub Activity is Bad For Your Lawn
Grubs are the larvae of Japanese beetles. They have small, white, C-shaped bodies and live within your soil. The reason why they are so bad for your lawn, is that they eat your turf roots. As you can imagine, this is never good for your landscape. In fact, unchecked grub activity can ruin your entire lawn, so it’s always smart to stay one step ahead of this issue.
In addition to the damage caused directly by grubs, these tiny pests also bring animal activity to your yard. Many creatures, such as skunks, birds, and raccoons feed off of grubs, so if these creatures figure out that grubs are present in your soil, they may dig around, tearing up your turf and causing even more damage.
Warning Signs of a Grub infestation
Here are two things to look for:
- Yellowish turf. If grubs are in your soil eating your turf roots, your grass will suffer. You may notice your vibrant green lawn has turned a yellowish-brown color. Your grass may also grow thinner and develop a spongy texture.
- Animals digging. If you see pencil-shaped holes in your lawn, these are likely due to birds sticking their beaks in your soil in search of grubs. You may also notice other animals digging around in your yard.
