At Lawn Doctor of Sussex County, we provide grub control treatments throughout Millsboro and the surrounding areas. Our experts can prevent future grub issues, stop your current infestation, and repair the damage done to your lawn. To deliver the best results, it helps to catch any active grub issues in the early stages. With that goal in mind, let’s review five potential signs of a grub infestation.
Signs of Grub Activity in Your Soil
When beetles lay eggs in your yard, those eggs will hatch into larvae known as ‘grubs.’ These tiny worm-like creatures will spend this early phase of their existence living inside your soil, chewing on the roots of your turf. By reducing the strength of your root system, these tiny pests can do major damage to your lawn. Here are five signs of an active infestation:
- Yellowish lawn color. As these pests continue to chew on your roots, your lawn will be deprived of the nutrition it needs to maintain its green color, leading to a bland yellow or brownish shade.
- Weird texture. Grub activity can produce a spongy texture throughout your turf.
- Beetle activity. Since these pests result from beetle eggs, any signs of beetle activity in your yard should be taken as potential signs of a grub infestation.
- Animal scavenging. Did you know that grubs are a food source for many wild animals? So, if you notice raccoons, skunks, or birds digging into your turf and soil, they are likely attempting to harvest the grubs living below.
- Carpet-like turf. With enough damage from grubs, you may even be able to pull up patches of your turf as if they were pieces of carpet.
