Pest infestations can take a heavy toll on your yard. However, few of the pests out there can damage your yard as much or as quickly as grubs. Grub infestations can destroy large patches of the grass in your yard, leading to issues like discoloration, patchiness, thinning, and even grass completely separating from the soil. But what are grubs, and what makes them so harmful to your yard? Below, we’ll take a closer look at these pests and how our team of grub control experts in Oyster Bay can help you fight them off.
All About Grubs
Grubs are beetle larvae rather than a unique species of fully-grown insect. While other insects lay their eggs on the base of tall blades of grass or in standing water, beetles lay their eggs underground. Grubs hatch out of these eggs and stay underground while they develop into adult beetles. This is a problem for your yard because, as they grow, grubs will feed on the root systems that support your grass and the other plants in your yard. And as they feed on your root systems, they can cause catastrophic damage to your turf if left unaddressed.
