A healthy root structure is crucial for your lawn. When your roots are damaged, this can cause the entirety of your lawn ecosystem to decline. Unfortunately, grubs are a common yard pest that exclusively eats the roots of your turf. To stop these destructive pests and protect your lawn, grub control service from our team at Lawn Doctor of Zephyrhills-Land O Lakes is the right option.
To get started, let’s take a look at three key warning signs of grub activity within your soil.
Signs of a Current Grub Infestation
Grubs are the early-stage larvae of Japanese beetles, so the first indicator of a grub infestation is the presence of beetles in your yard. These pests can produce several effects throughout your lawn, so you can also deduce their presence through the following warning signs:
- Lawn damage. Grub damage leads to poor growth, yellow or brown color, dead patches of turf, spongy lawn texture, and other problems.
- Drought-like conditions. Grub activity will create a landscape that is always dried out, regardless of your watering efforts.
- Animal activity. The presence of grubs can make your yard very appealing to many wild animal species, as these tiny pests are a very easy meal. This can lead to further lawn damage as these animals burrow through your turf to access their prey.
