With our ability to stop these pests before or after they invade your yard, grub control from Lawn Doctor of Ocala-Homosassa is a great way to protect your landscape. To start things off, let’s learn a few facts about these pests.
What are Grubs?
Grubs are small white worms that live within soil and are very common in the region. They are the larvae of Japanese beetles, and their primary trait is that they eat turf roots. As you can imagine, this is never good for your lawn.
How Do These Pests Hurt My Lawn?
These pests live to weaken your root system and cause your lawn to deteriorate in quality. They will continue to chew on your turf roots as long as they are in your soil, leading to poor growth, diminishing health, and a significant loss in aesthetic charm. Furthermore, grubs will attract wild animals, and those creatures may end up digging into your turf and soil to get to the easy meal lurking below, so you can expect even more damage to your lawn.
Warning Signs of a Grub Infestation
Early action can spare you from expensive damage and a ton of stress, so it’s a great idea to familiarize yourself with the warning signs of grub activity. Here’s what you should watch for:
- Shift in grass color. Has your lawn transformed from beautiful green to boring yellow?
- Drought symptoms. Is your lawn always dry no matter how often you water it?
- Animal digging. Are wild animals interested in your soil?
