Grub Control

Common signs include brown patches that don't improve with watering, grass that pulls up easily like carpet, and increased digging from skunks, raccoons, or birds searching for grubs. White grubs feed on grass roots, weakening the root system and potentially causing sections of lawn to die.

A grub, also know as a white grub is the larval stage of certain beetles that live in the soil and feed on grass roots. These small, white, C-shaped insects can damage your lawn by weakening its root system and making it harder for grass to absorb water and nutrients. 

Preventative grub control is typically applied between May and July, before developing grubs begin feeding on your lawn's roots, causing significant damage to grass roots. Applying treatment at the right time is important for effective prevention.

A preventative grub control application helps manage developing grub populations before they begin causing visible lawn damage. Because damage can be difficult and costly to repair, preventative treatment is an important part of maintaining a healthy lawn.

Grub control is designed to prevent grub-related damage, not repair grass that has already been damaged. If your lawn has brown patches or areas that pull up easily, an inspection can help determine whether grubs are the cause and what steps may be needed to repair the lawn.
