Because these small critters feed on the root systems of lawns, they can do a great deal of damage in a short amount of time. Keeping a watch for signs of grub damage is critical if you want to prevent these common pests from conquering your landscape. Below, our grub control team at <a href=\"\/nwsanantonio-tx\">Lawn Doctor of Northwest San Antonio and Hollywood Park-Shavano<\/a> is taking a look at some of the main red flags that could indicate a grub problem for homeowners in Helotes.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Red Flags Signaling a Need for Grub Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!--{cke_protected}%3Cmeta%20name%3D%22uuid%22%20content%3D%22uuidf4xDNWdALKSU%22%20%2F%3E--><!--{cke_protected}%3Cmeta%20charset%3D%22utf-8%22%20%2F%3E--><\/p>\n<p>Grubs leave telltale signs in their wake. Here are some of the most noticeable issues you may encounter:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Moths or beetles flying close to the surface of your lawn.\u00a0<\/strong>Because beetles lay eggs that produce grubs, their presence is a warning of a grub problem. Moths hovering over your turf could also signal that grubs are under the surface.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased animal activity on your landscape.\u00a0<\/strong>Have you seen animals such as raccoons, armadillos, or skunks in your yard, or perhaps birds spending more time near your home than usual? These animals may be drawn to your lawn by the presence of grubs, one of their favorite snacks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Random brown patches of grass.\u00a0<\/strong>One of the most troublesome problems you may notice due to grub activity is oddly shaped areas of turf becoming brown and dying off. This happens when grubs sever grass from its precious roots.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turf that feels loose or can be pulled up.\u00a0<\/strong>The lack of an anchoring root system can also cause turf to feel bouncy or sponge-like underfoot. You may even be able to peel it up as if it were a loose layer of carpet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>We Can Diagnose and Treat Your Grub Problem in Helotes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;ve spotted signs of grub damage or are worried about a grub problem arising, you can contact our local team to diagnose these issues and treat them with effective grub control methods.
