Gardens with grass often become ideal sites for beetles to reproduce, laying eggs which later transform into larvae. The larvae feast upon the grass roots, leading to patches of lifeless, brown grass across your lawn. Even the most careful homeowners can succumb to this hidden pest issue. The most efficient way to fight grub infestations is via professional lawn maintenance services. Lawn Pride of Columbia, SC provides grub control for lawn services in Columbia, SC.

How to Identify a Grub Infestation
Numerous homeowners might be dealing with a grub problem without realizing it. Grub issues can only be solved when they're properly detected. Since grubs remain underground most of the year, it may seem like a case of poor grass health on the surface. There are multiple signs of a grub infestation. If any of these symptoms are evident, lawn grub control measures are necessary to avoid the situation from exacerbating. Here are some common signs of grub presence:
Dead Grass
Grub impacts can be varied, but dead grass emerges as the most common. Grubs eat away at roots and other underground organic materials, depriving your lawn of essential nutrients and water supply, causing the grass to die.
Beetles
Grubs are larvae of beetles, including June bugs, masked chafer beetles, and Japanese beetles. Some beetles, like Japanese beetles, are invasive species with no natural predators to control their population. These beetles mainly emerge from May to July, although this can vary based on location and climate.
Peeling or Rolling Grass
The most effective way to confirm grubs is by inspecting suspect areas by peeling or rolling up the grass. If grubs are present, they will typically be seen in the soil.

Preventative vs. Reactive Treatments

They always let me know what they were doing with each application and what I should and shouldn’t do for the next week (e.g. don’t mow the lawn for 2 days, etc.) Any time I have called with a question, I received an immediate response.
