As part of our expert support, our team at Lawn Doctor of Union County would like to share some helpful tips for spotting the grub infestation in your yard. Let’s take a look.
Signs That Grubs are Living in Your Soil
Since grubs are the offspring of beetles, the first sign of a grub infestation is usually the presence of beetles hovering above your turf. Once they lay their eggs, tiny white larvae will emerge and live within your soil. These grubs will spend this phase of their life cycle consuming the roots of your turf, so their presence in your lawn can cause a number of issues. Here are some of the effects to watch for:
- Loss of green color. Grub activity often leads to a decline in aesthetic appeal, with your grass turning from green to brown.
- Odd turf conditions. The texture of your turf will become spongy, and areas of your lawn will be loosened to the point that they can be rolled up like pieces of carpet.
- Poor growth. The thickness of your lawn will also suffer, as your weakened root system won’t be able to sustain consistent growth.
- Animal scavenging. Along with the direct damage caused by grubs, they also draw the attention of various scavenging animals like birds and raccoons. These creatures are likely to cause more harm as they dig through your turf to access the grubs in your soil.
