To preserve a healthy green landscape, you need to protect your grassroots. Grubs are one of the most common threats to a thriving root system. These tiny white beetle larvae tend to inhabit the depths of your soil and eat the roots of your turf. With our expert grub control for homes in Rochester, Lawn Doctor of Greater Springfield delivers the proven solutions needed to stop these destructive pests.
The longer these pests remain active, the more damage they will do, so it’s important to catch their infestation in the early stages. As part of that goal, let’s discuss three key warning signs of a possible grub infestation.
Signs That Grubs Are Living in Your Soil
These pests are the offspring of beetles in their larvae stage, so the first sign of a grub infestation is usually the presence of beetles hovering around your soil. In addition, these pests create several issues throughout your lawn, so the warning signs include:
- Lawn damage. Grubs can impact your roots, creating poor growth, bland grass color, spongy texture, and other lawn care issues. Basically, your lawn will appear weak, thin, patchy, and unappealing.
- Drought-like conditions. These pests also create symptoms that resemble a drought, so you may find yourself constantly watering your grass only for it to have little effect.
- Animal activity. As an additional complication, grubs make for a very appealing meal for many wild animals. This means that skunks, birds, raccoons, and others will often dig through grub-infested soil to harvest their prey, causing further lawn damage for homeowners.
