A full, green lawn is a source of pride for many homeowners in Bloomfield, Michigan. However, beneath the surface of even the healthiest lawns, grubs (larval forms of beetles) can wreak havoc by eating grass roots, resulting in dead grass patches and brown spots. Grub infestations can quickly kill your lawn if left unchecked. Lawn Pride of West Bloomfield performs grub prevention and control services in Bloomfield, Michigan, and the surrounding areas.

How to Tell If There Are Grubs in Your Lawn
Grub infestations can sometimes be subtle and go unnoticed at first, but there are a few clear signs that your lawn may be dealing with a problem. Grubs, which are the larval stage of certain beetles, feed on grass roots, causing damage that becomes visible over time. Below are the most common signs to watch for that could indicate a grub issue in your lawn.
Dead Grass
Grubs feast on the roots of grass, cutting off its main source of nutrients and water. This causes patches of grass to turn brown and die, regardless of how well you water it. If grass doesn’t respond to care in certain areas, it’s worth investigating whether grubs are the underlying issue.
Beetles
Grubs are the larvae of beetles, like June bugs or Japanese beetles. If you notice an increased number of beetles in late spring and early summer, it may be an early warning sign that they’ve laid eggs in your lawn. These eggs will later hatch and become grubs.
Rolling Dead Grass
One of the most foolproof ways to check for grubs is to try rolling up patches of dead grass. With severe grub infestations, the grass will easily lift off like a carpet because the roots underneath have been chewed through. If you see worms or white larvae in the soil below, you’ve confirmed a grub problem.

The Difference Between Grub Prevention and Grub Control
Grubs can cause serious damage to your lawn or garden if left unchecked. Understanding the difference between preventative measures and curative treatments is key to managing grubs effectively. Knowing when and how to use each approach can help maintain a healthier lawn or garden.
Grub Prevention
Prevention is designed to stop problems before they start. Preventative treatments are applied to your lawn before grub eggs hatch, typically during late spring or early summer (depending on weather conditions). These treatments kill larvae before they start feeding on your lawn, making them the first line of defense for maintaining healthy grass.
Grub Control
Control treatments are for active infestations. Curative solutions effectively target grubs that have already hatched and grown. These treatments are typically applied later in the summer or early fall when grubs are larger and actively causing damage. At Lawn Pride of West Bloomfield, we recommend combining both approaches to align with the life cycle of grubs, ensuring year-round protection.
