Do you know how to recognize the signs of a grub problem? It’s better to keep an eye out for evidence of these creatures and get started with grub control early than wait until half of your lawn has been destroyed. At Lawn Doctor of Sandusky-Fremont & Elyria-Amherst, we offer intensive grub treatments that can help rid you of grub problems. To get to the bottom of whether grub control could be necessary for you, consider reviewing the common red flags of an infestation below.
Red Flags Signaling a Need for Grub Control
You may find grubs to be particularly mysterious due to their subterranean nature. Learning how to pinpoint signs of their activity on the surface of your lawn can take the mystery out of their presence.
Common red flags are as follows:
- Your lawn seems to have been torn up by skunks, raccoons, or even birds. The predators of grubs will dig around in your yard once they know that there’s a feast just under the surface. If you spot this kind of activity, it’s time to reach out for grub control in the Fremont area.
- Areas of your lawn seem to be covered with dead grass. Have spots on your lawn become brown, with a withered appearance? These irregular shapes are most likely the work of grubs, whose feeding habits kill off turfgrass by severing its roots.
- You’ve noticed that your grass feels bouncy or spongy. Even before you notice areas of dead grass, you may sense that there’s a change underfoot. As your lawn’s root systems are weakened by grubs, turf will feel noticeably softer and may even loosen and pull up from the ground.
