As an introduction to these root-eating pests, let&#8217;s review some vital info about grubs.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why Grub Activity is Bad For Your Lawn<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!--{cke_protected}%3Cmeta%20name%3D%22uuid%22%20content%3D%22uuiddw0wbVwTojoK%22%20%2F%3E--><!--{cke_protected}%3Cmeta%20charset%3D%22utf-8%22%20%2F%3E--><\/p>\n<p>As part of their life cycle, Japanese beetles start out as tiny white larvae known as &#8216;grubs.&#8217; These curly little worms live in soil and rely on turf roots as their only form of sustenance. Given the chance to linger in your yard, these pests will cause considerable damage to your landscape. Here are a few of the negative effects you can expect from an ongoing grub infestation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Poor growth.\u00a0<\/strong>Without a healthy root system, your lawn will struggle to maintain growth. This can lead to a sparse, patchy lawn with dead spots and thin grass.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bland color.<\/strong>\u00a0Your grass will also be deprived of the nutrients it needs to maintain that beautiful green color, leading to a bland and yellowish lawn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dry conditions.<\/strong>\u00a0The effects of prolonged grub activity can resemble those of a drought, which means your lawn will be dry and dying despite your attempts to provide water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Animal activity.<\/strong>\u00a0With their nutrient-rich composition, grubs are a great source of calories for birds and other creatures. This means that various animals may end up digging additional holes in your turf and soil to get to the grubs below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>The Benefits of Our Professional Grub Control in East Cobb<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With our service, Lawn Doctor of Marietta can prevent, eliminate, and repair the damage caused by these tiny pests.
