Cultivating beautiful, lush landscapes goes well beyond the basic tasks of nurturing and watering grass. In fact, you can only count on keeping your grass healthy if you shield it from common threats ranging from plant diseases to aggressive weeds and even pests. One pest that is particularly important to watch out for is the white grub. Getting started with grub control from Lawn Doctor of the Inland Empire can enable you to safeguard your lawn in Ontario and shield it from the extensive damage that these small critters have the power to do.
What You Need to Know About Grubs

Understanding the Origins of Grubs
While they may not look much like beetles, grubs are actually beetles in their most immature form. After adult scarab beetles, such as Japanese beetles or June Bugs, lay their eggs beneath the surface of your lawn, you can count on grubs emerging from these eggs when the weather gets warmer.
Understanding Grubs’ Eating Habits
After hatching, grubs are hungry for nourishment in the form of organic matter. Their favorite meal consists of plant roots, and since they live in the soil, they have plenty of grass roots to chew on. Eventually, they can eat away at grass root systems to such an extent that the turf is completely severed from its underground anchor.
Understanding the Signs of Grub Damage
Are dreaded dead brown patches arising on your lawn? Perhaps you feel particularly soft areas underfoot? These are both telltale indicators that grubs are actively feeding on grass roots. You might also keep an eye out for dug-up parts of your landscape, which suggest that larger animals are scouring the soil for tasty grubs.
