An ongoing grub infestation can do major damage to your lawn. That’s because these tiny beetle larvae eat up the roots of your turf. To protect your lawn, early action is key. So, it’s important to understand what the signs of a grub infestation look like. As part of our grub control service for Bergen County area homeowners, Lawn Doctor of Rockland-Pascack Valley-Saddle River would like to share some tips for spotting these pests in the early stages.
Signs That Grubs Are Living in Your Soil
Grubs are small, C-shaped creatures that look like tiny worms. You can directly search for them by digging through your soil, or you can look out for the following effects of their presence:
- Turf damage. Grub activity can create a dry lawn with a spongy texture. You may also notice that your turf is not growing the way it used to.
- Aesthetic decline. Ongoing grub activity within your soil can cause your green lawn to turn yellow or brown.
- Animal activity. Grubs are a great source of nutrition for a wide range of scavenging animals, so if these pests are living in your soil, you can also expect to see some animal activity in your yard. This typically involves birds, raccoons, and other creatures, so if you notice any of these animals digging around in your soil, there’s a decent chance you have grubs.
