A healthy, green, and resilient landscape requires a strong root system. So, any attack on your roots will have a negative effect on your yard. For this reason, grubs are a major threat to your beautiful landscape. These tiny beetle larvae live by chewing on the roots of your turf, so their presence is always a problem. However, with our grub control throughout Mt. Juliet, Lawn Doctor of Murfreesboro provides the expert remedies you need.
To stop these pests as quickly as possible, we encourage every homeowner to monitor their yard for warning signs of an infestation. Let’s take a look at three things to look for as you assess whether your yard has grubs.
Signs of a Current Grub Infestation
Grubs are the larvae of beetles, so beetle activity in your yard is the first sign of an infestation. Aside from that, you can deduce their presence based on the effects they can have on your lawn. Here’s what to look for:
- Lawn damage. With a declining root system, your grass will lose its green color and turn yellow or brown. Your lawn will also grow thinner and develop a strange, spongy texture. In addition, you may even be able to pull up areas of your turf as if they were portions of carpet.
- Drought-like conditions. Grubs can create conditions in your lawn that are similar to a drought. Many homeowners discover grub issues when their consistent watering treatments seem to have no effect.
- Animal activity. Grubs are very low on the food chain, so these critters make a very easy meal for birds, skunks, moles, raccoons, and other wild animals. As a result, you may notice that these animals are more interested in your yard. Worst of all, these critters will often dig through your turf and soil to harvest their prey, causing further harm to your landscape.
