Grubs sound disgusting and, worse, they can do serious damage to your lawn. That’s because they feed underground, at the roots of your grass. Over time, this weakens your lawn, eventually killing off patches of grass. What’s a homeowner to do? Call in the grub control experts at Lawn Doctor of Granbury-Burleson. We have the proven people, products, and processes to take care of your grub problem today – and prevent outbreaks from occurring in the future.
What Exactly are Grubs?
Most people have heard of grubs, but aren’t quite sure what they are. Grubs are simply small white creatures that are the larval form of scarab beetles, such as Oriental and Japanese beetles. They damage lawns by burrowing several inches under the surface and feeding on roots. Eventually, they develop into adult beetles, emerge from the soil to mate, then lay grub eggs, which continue to damage your yard. They’re most active in the spring and late summer, and tend to be quiet during the winter.
Evidence Your Lawn Has Grubs
At Lawn Doctor of Granbury-Burleson, we know there are some telltale signs to look for that you need grub control. For instance, if you’re noticing brown patches in your lawn – despite temperatures warming up and adequate moisture – that can be an indicator of grubs. Some other signs include:
- Randomly shaped dead patches of grass scattered around your lawn.
- Small animals, like birds and raccoons, tearing up your lawn to feed on grubs.
- Turf that feels spongy when you walk on it and lifts up easily in damaged areas.
