Furthermore, we can come to your home in Panama City Beach to provide a thorough diagnosis and grub control treatments if necessary.
Red Flags Signaling a Need for Grub Control
Due to their subterranean nature, grubs are often out of sight and out of mind. However, once you know that evidence of their activity can be spotted above ground, you can be more vigilant about preventing this pest from taking over.
We recommend reaching out to us right away if you have seen the following on your lawn:
- Lots of beetles or moths. Grubs are larvae, which means they ultimately mature to become insects like beetles or moths. When these bugs start buzzing around your landscape, you should be wary that they may be laying eggs in the soil, meaning a grub infestation could be just around the corner.
- Areas that seem to have been dug or torn up. Animals that enjoy eating grubs have a heightened sense of smell and can detect grubs in the soil with ease. Once they have located these critters, they’ll dig up your lawn and enjoy a hearty meal.
- Patches of brown grass in random shapes. Grass that withers in pale brown patches is in the process of dying off, an unfortunate event that can be initiated when grubs eat clear through underground root systems.
- Changes in the firmness of your turf. Whether your lawn is starting to feel soft and bouncy underfoot or oddly loose, you need to investigate the issue to determine if grub activity is the cause.
