Since they do their work underground, you&#8217;ll rarely spot a grub unless you&#8217;re digging away in the soil. As a result, it&#8217;s necessary to keep track of changes that occur in your turf above ground so that you can know when grub control is a necessity. At\u00a0<a href=\"\/southington-ct\">Lawn Doctor of Bristol-Southington<\/a>, we have a team ready to help diagnose grub-related issues and provide powerful treatments. Learn more about some factors that signal grubs are tunneling under your turf in Plantsville by taking a look at the following overview.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Red Flags Signaling a Need for Grub Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Grubs are larvae that are known to cause quite extensive damage to plant life, including lush green turfgrass. Take a look at these red flags to help determine whether you could be seeing signals of a grub problem on your lawn:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Brown areas of withering grass.\u00a0<\/strong>The way that grubs feed can cause whole patches of grass to turn brown and wither away. This wilting is the result of grubs eating through grass roots and cutting off turf from all the resources it relies on below ground, such as water and nutrients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The presence of scarab beetles.\u00a0<\/strong>If you have seen scarab beetles starting to fly around your lawn, you may be wondering what all the buzz is about. In fact, these bugs are likely on the lookout for the perfect spot to lay their eggs, which will one day produce grubs. Because of this, beetles are a major red flag that a grub infestation could be on the horizon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Detachment of once-healthy turf.\u00a0<\/strong>After turfgrass has been detached from its roots, it will become unstable without its former anchor in the soil. In addition to becoming loose and spongy, it may also be easy to peel up from the surface of the soil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Activity of raccoons and other scavengers.\u00a0<\/strong>Raccoons are known predators of grubs, and they will dig up holes in your lawn once they find grubs to start munching on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>We Can Diagnose and Treat Your Grub Problem in Plantsville<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Reach out for help from our grub control experts today if you suspect a grub problem in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plantsville<\/li>\n<li>Southington<\/li>\n<li>Bristol<\/li>\n<li>Plainville<\/li>\n<li>Or a community in the surrounding area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For grub control in Plantsville,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/southington-ct\/contact_lawn_doctor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/southington-ct\/contact_lawn_doctor\/\">contact us<\/a>\u00a0today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most troublesome aspects\u00a0of grubs as pests is that they are subterranean creatures.
