White grubs can cause major problems for your lawn, and the best way to avoid them is to get started with grub control well before you notice evidence of damage. At Lawn Doctor of Pascack Valley-Saddle River, we help homeowners in Montvale stay proactive in the fight against grubs. With our grub prevention program, you can easily treat your lawn for grubs at the right time of their life cycle for the best results.
Why Grubs Must Be Stopped Early
Scarab beetle species such as Japanese beetles and June bugs emerge during the early portion of the summer season to feed on plants. Then, they bury their eggs in the soil. Later in the season, white grubs hatch from these eggs and begin to feed, with their main food source being plant roots. Because they live in the soil, they typically have plenty of grassroots at their disposal. They continue this feeding process until temperatures drop and then make their way deeper into the soil for the winter months. When the weather warms up again, the larger, more mature forms of grubs find their way back to the surface and emerge as adult beetles, initiating the cycle all over again.
The key to preventing grubs from eating your turf’s roots is to knock them out before hatching, which keeps them from ever having the chance to cause damage. This means that spring or early summer is best for grub control. Look to the professional technicians at our local team to apply effective treatments at the right time of year and protect your lawn against these pests.
