As the first step towards providing an effective grub control service for your home, Lawn Doctor of Woodbridge-Manassas-Dumfries would like to share some helpful tips for diagnosing an ongoing grub infestation. Let’s take a look.
Signs That Grubs Are Living in Your Soil
As grubs are the offspring of beetles, the presence of these flying insects around your yard should be the first red flag. Here are a few other ways to spot an active grub infestation:
- Turf damage. Grubs are tiny larvae that live in your soil, chewing on the roots of your turf. This can cause the quality and health of your lawn to suffer. You may notice spongy texture, weak growth, and other issues. Also, your lawn will seem dry no matter how often you add water.
- Aesthetic decline. An additional effect of their root-nibbling is that grubs can cause your lawn to turn yellow or brown. So, if your turf changes color without another obvious explanation, grubs are a possible cause.
- Animal activity. These little creatures make a very easy meal for birds, raccoons, and various other wild animals. This can lead to further lawn damage as these creatures scavenge through your turf and soil to harvest the little larvae lurking below.
