The strength of your root system is critical for the health, growth, beauty, and resilience of your lawn. Therefore, any pest that compromises the integrity of your roots is a major threat to your entire lawn ecosystem. With their habit of nibbling on your turf roots, grubs are one such threat. These tiny pests can do plenty of damage in a short amount of time, but with our grub control in Tannersville, Lawn Doctor of Stroudsburg-Bangor can help.
Our expert service includes preventative remedies, fast-acting grub control, and detailed lawn restoration planning to recover from the infestation. While we can help at any point in the process, earlier action is always better. For this reason, we’d like to share some helpful tips for spotting a grub infestation in your yard. Let’s take a look.
Signs of a Current Grub Infestation
These pests come from Japanese beetles, so beetle activity around your yard should be the first red flag. When these insects lay eggs, those eggs hatch and become the tiny larvae we refer to as ‘grubs’. These pests spend this part of their life cycle inside your soil, exclusively eating the roots of your turf. This can have negative effects on your lawn, including:
- Turf color changes. Is your formerly green lawn now yellow or brown? Grubs can prevent your roots from supporting your grass, leading to loss of color.
- Sparse growth. Is your lawn much thinner than it was before? A root system compromised by grub activity will not be able to support health growth.
- Dry conditions. Is your lawn always dry? With ongoing grub activity, your lawn will struggle to absorb moisture.
- Detached turf. Can parts of your turf be rolled up like strips of carpet? Grubs can cause your turf to become detached and spongy.
- Animal predation. Are various wild creatures interested in your lawn? Birds, raccoons, and other critters consume grubs as an easy food source, so they’ll be very interested in your soil, potentially causing more lawn damage as they dig around.
