Keeping your lawn healthy is about so much more than feeding and watering it. It is also important to keep external threats at bay. One threat that is often underestimated is the risk of grubs chomping away at grass roots. With professional grub control from Lawn Doctor of Lawrenceville-Suwanee, you can avoid having grubs do damage to your grass right under the surface of your lawn.
What to Know About Grubs
Grubs represent one of the most problematic critters that can make their way onto your landscape, at least when it comes to the health of your grass. Below, we’re providing a basic overview of these pests and more information about why it is necessary to keep them away in order to keep your landscape beautiful.
What exactly are grubs?
You may know what grubs look like, but you may not know that these larvae actually grow into beetles, including recognizable species such as June Bugs and Japanese Beetles. When these beetles lay their eggs in your lawn’s soil, the grubs will emerge from the eggs and start to feed on plant roots almost immediately.
Why are grubs so problematic?
Grubs can take a toll on your lawn because they munch on its roots. As they chomp away, they sever the roots below the soil from the grass above, which can lead to large patches of grass dying off completely. This can not only make your yard look unattractive, but can also make it harder to get it back on track to a healthy state.
What are signs of grub problems?
Besides sighting grubs themselves, there are a couple of other visible factors that suggest you have a grub problem. These include patches of dead turf that can be pulled away almost like loose carpeting, a lawn that feels soft and spongy, and animals venturing into your lawn to dig up and dine on grubs.
