These tiny beetle larvae exist by consuming the roots of your turf, so if they&#8217;re lurking in your soil, it&#8217;s crucial to find out as quickly as you can. As part of our grub control <a href=\"\/southeastgrandrapids-mi\/lawn-care-local\/\">service<\/a> for residents of Forest Hills,\u00a0<a href=\"\/southeastgrandrapids-mi\/\">Lawn Doctor of Grand Rapids<\/a>\u00a0would like to offer some helpful tips for confirming your active grub infestation. Let&#8217;s take a look.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Signs That Grubs Are Living in Your Soil<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!--{cke_protected}%3Cmeta%20name%3D%22uuid%22%20content%3D%22uuidjCYjcUeAG3nF%22%20%2F%3E--><\/p>\n<p><!--{cke_protected}%3Cmeta%20name%3D%22uuid%22%20content%3D%22uuidm8mrA8nkRQr4%22%20%2F%3E--><\/p>\n<p>If you want to search for grubs directly, you can simply dig through your soil and look for small curly white worms. However, if you&#8217;d rather not dig through your yard, here are some of the signs to look for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Turf damage.\u00a0<\/strong>There may be sections of your turf that simply pull up like strips of carpet. Grubs can also cause your lawn to develop an odd, spongy texture. Also, you&#8217;ll notice dry conditions that resemble those of a drought, despite your consistent watering.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aesthetic decline.<\/strong>\u00a0Grubs eat up your turf roots and prevent your lawn from absorbing nutrients, so you can expect the quality of your grass to suffer. In fact, grub activity usually leads to a brown or yellow lawn with thin growth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Animal activity.\u00a0<\/strong>Grubs are very low on the food chain, and many scavenging creatures target them for an easy meal. This means that raccoons, skunks, birds, and other animals are likely to be active in your yard, digging around for that quick snack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Our Professional Grub Control in Forest Hills<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you have any inclination that grubs may be present in your soil, it cannot hurt to get started right away. Even if it&#8217;s a false alarm, and we find no grubs, our experts can deploy our proactive solution to stop the next wave of beetle eggs before they hatch. If we do find grubs in your yard, we&#8217;ll quickly neutralize those pests and get started on a plan to restore your landscape.<\/p>\n<p>We proudly offer our expert grub <a href=\"\/southeastgrandrapids-mi\/lawn-care-local\/weed-control\/\">control<\/a> services throughout:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Forest Hills<\/li>\n<li>Grand Rapids<\/li>\n<li>Kentwood<\/li>\n<li>Ada<\/li>\n<li>Caledonia<\/li>\n<li>Wyoming<\/li>\n<li>Rockford<\/li>\n<li>And the surrounding areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For grub control for your home in Forest Hills,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/southeastgrandrapids-mi\/contact_lawn_doctor\/\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/southeastgrandrapids-mi\/contact_lawn_doctor\/\">contact us<\/a>\u00a0today!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotting a grub infestation in the early stages can save your lawn from serious damage.
