With preventative and fast-acting grub control throughout Fairfield, Lawn Doctor of Fairfield County and Westchester County can stop these pests from chewing up your turf roots and ruining your lawn. To begin, let’s discuss four common ways to spot a grub infestation.
Signs That Grubs are Living in Your Soil
Grubs are the larvae offspring of Japanese beetles, so pay attention to any beetle activity around your yard. Once these insects reproduce, those grubs will exist within the upper layers of your soil, subsisting solely off the roots of your turf. This can cause a great deal of harm to your landscape, including:
- Brown turf. Your grass needs the support of a strong and stable root system in order to achieve and maintain that green color. So, if grubs are in your soil nibbling on your roots, you can expect your green grass to turn brown or yellow.
- Odd turf conditions. These little creatures can create a lot of problems in your yard. With ongoing activity, you may notice that pieces of your turf can even be rolled up like carpet. Also, your lawn will develop a strange, spongy texture.
- Poor growth. A lawn struggling with grub activity will get drier and thinner as these pests continue to weaken your root sytem.
- Animal scavenging. Grubs also cause indirect lawn issues by attracting wild animals. To get to these nutritious little worms below your turf, birds, raccoons, and other critters will often dig through your lawn, creating further damage.
