Let&#8217;s take a look.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Signs That Grubs Are Living in Your Soil<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>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:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Turf damage.\u00a0<\/strong>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.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aesthetic decline.<\/strong>\u00a0An 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.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Animal activity.\u00a0<\/strong>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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Our Professional Grub Control in Dumfries<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Checking for grubs is important, but you don&#8217;t need to have an active grub issue to benefit from our service. Prevention is always easier, so if we can treat your yard before an infestation occurs, that is the preferred option. However, for those with an active grub issue, early action is key.
