There’s a long list of insects that can invade your home’s outdoor spaces and cause damage to your lawn. But among all these pests, grubs are some of the most destructive. Once you have an infestation of these pests on your hands, they can quickly cause significant damage to your yard. Below, we’ll take a closer look at these pests, how they’re able to cause so much damage to your grass and other plants, and how our professional grub control in Wilmington can help you fight them.
All About Grubs
Grub infestations take such a heavy toll on your lawn specifically because of how they come about. Instead of being fully-formed insects, grubs are the larval form of beetles. Beetles lay their eggs underground. When grubs hatch from these eggs, they’re in the perfect spot to feed on your root systems until they grow up to lay eggs of their own. This cycle, when left unaddressed, can quickly lead to a dead, discolored lawn that’s tough to repair.
