To maintain a green and healthy landscape, you need to protect your roots. With their harmful habit of chewing up your root system, grubs are among the most significant threats to this vital part of your lawn. However, with our professional grub control service in Ormond Beach, Lawn Doctor of Daytona Beach can deliver consistent protection from this issue.
While it’s always best to get ahead of grubs with our preventative solution, we understand this isn’t always possible. So, to help you catch these pests in the early stages, let’s take a look at three common warning signs of a grub infestation.
Signs of a Current Grub Infestation
Grubs are those curly white worm-like creatures you may have noticed in your soil. These pests are actually the larvae of beetles, so the first sign of a grub infestation is if you notice beetles commonly hovering around your turf. In addition, you can monitor your yard for grub activity by looking for the following signs:
- Lawn damage. With their habit of chewing up your roots, grubs can cause a wide range of damage to your lawn. The effects of their infestation include poor growth, yellow turf color, spongy texture, and detached turf patches that roll up like carpet.
- Drought-like conditions. These pests can also make it difficult for your lawn to absorb moisture, leading to bleak conditions that resemble those of a drought.
- Animal activity. To compound the issue further, grubs bring various wild animals to your yard. That’s because these nutrient-dense beetle larvae make for a very easy meal, so raccoons, skunks, moles and other critters simply can’t resist. This often leads to these animals tearing holes in your turf and soil to access these subterranean pests.
