As you consider what you can do to improve the health of your grass, you may focus on nourishing your turf, keeping it hydrated, and mowing regularly. However, it’s just as important to consider what you can do to keep external threats at bay. You can preserve your lawn and protect it from these hungry critters by getting started with grub control from Lawn Doctor of South Shore before you notice signs of grub damage.
Understanding How To Deal With Grubs
Stopping grubs in their tracks requires in-depth knowledge of their lifecycle and habits. Here are some things you may need to know to effectively deal with grubs and keep them from doing significant damage to your landscape:
- Grubs are the immature, larval form of different types of beetles. Have you seen June bugs or Japanese beetles hanging out on your lawn? If so, you shouldn’t be surprised to spot grubs in the soil later, as grubs hatch from the eggs that beetles lay.
- Preventative steps should be taken before grubs have the chance to snack. We always recommend starting our grub prevention program before grubs emerge from their eggs and begin feeding on grass roots. The best time for treatment application is thus in the spring or early summer.
- Grubs can do major damage to your lawn and cause your turf to die off. Signs of grub damage include soft and spongy turf and areas of grass that can easily be peeled up as if they were a layer of carpet. These issues are the result of grubs severing grass from its root system below ground. While grub damage can be extensive, you can trust us to help restore your lawn after a grub infestation through our range of lawn care treatments.
