Grubs are a common source of lawn problems throughout the Southeast, so it’s important to familiarize yourself with some basic facts about these pests. As part of our grub control for Dallas homeowners, Lawn Doctor of NW Atlanta would like to share some info to help you avoid expensive grub-related damage to your turf.
What are Grubs?
You may have noticed white, worm-like creatures squirming around in your soil. These are grubs, the larvae of beetles. During this initial phase of their life cycle, they rely exclusively on turf roots for sustenance, so their presence can cause all sorts of issues with your lawn.
How Do These Pests Hurt My Lawn?
Due to their constant nibbling, grubs can cause the strength of your root system to deteriorate. This will have a negative effect throughout your lawn’s ecosystem. Some problems may include:
- Sparse growth. Your once thick and lush lawn will start to thin out.
- Yellow color. Your green grass may turn yellow or brown as your roots get weaker.
- Spongy texture. Your lawn will develop an odd spongy texture.
- Dry conditions. Your grass will experience symptoms similar to a drought despite consistent watering.
- Animal activity. In addition to the direct damage they can cause, grubs attract scavenging wild animals, which can harm your lawn. Birds and other creatures will dig through your turf to access the easy meal lurking in your soil.
