  • Your lawn’s grub damage may take many forms, but dead grass is the most common. Grubs primarily eat roots and other underground organic material. As a result, they will cut off the main source of nutrients and water for your grass, causing it to die.

  • Grubs are just larval forms of beetles, like June bugs, masked chafer beetles, and even Japanese Beetles. Some of these are invasive species with no natural predators. Beetles usually emerge from the ground between May and July, though this can vary depending on your location and weather conditions.

  • If you suspect a section of your lawn has grubs, try lifting that grass section. With extensive grub infestations, you can easily roll that section of grass like a rolled-up carpet. When you do this, you will likely be able to spot a few grubs in the soil.

  • In late summer and fall, skunks and raccoons damage lawns by searching for earthworms, soil-dwelling insects, and insect larvae like white grubs. They dig up lawns, leaving large patches of loose turf, eat the grubs, worms, or other insects, and leave behind a torn-up mess.

What are grubs?


Grubs are the larval stage of beetles. Beetles lay eggs under the soil. Those eggs grow into larvae. The larvae eventually form a pupa, and an adult beetle hatches out of that pupa. While they are grubs, they start as very small worms and grow into inch-long pests that look like worms.

Grubs almost always grow in large clusters. So, if you find one grub in your lawn, there are almost certainly more. This type of underground pest infestation can plague the proudest homeowners who do everything right when caring for their grass.

What Our Lawn Grub Control Service Includes

Many homeowners have a grub problem and don’t even know it. Grubs live below the ground for most of the year. So, above ground, grub infestations can just look like unhealthy grass. When you notice the common signs of grub infestation, you need lawn grub control services to stop your grub problem from getting out of hand. Related services we offer include:

    Lawn Pride is extremely attentive to each lawn’s needs. They’re extremely thorough and I’ve recommended them to several friends. My lawn looks like a commercial, and they’ve nurtured new seed and sod into a healthy yard, while stressing the maintenance. Highly recommended.

    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.

Preventative Treatments vs. Curative Control Treatments for Grub Control

Grub treatments come in two main forms: preventative and curative. Preventative grub control treatments aim to kill larvae before they hatch or become active enough to damage your lawn. On the other hand, curative treatments are the solution to control active grub infestations. This will stop active grubs from feeding on your grass. In reality, the most effective way to keep your lawn protected is by having a preventative treatment applied to your lawn long before they starts feeding on it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Grub Prevention and Control

Preventing or controlling grubs can be slightly confusing at first unless you are a professionally trained lawn care specialist. While our team is always happy to answer your questions and inspect your yard for grubs, we have provided the answers to a few of the most commonly asked questions about grubs.

  • Not really. While cold weather can kill some grubs, it is not an effective treatment for an infestation. As temperatures plummet, grubs dig deeper and deeper underground, insulating them from their coldest weather. When spring comes around, the grubs will climb closer to the surface, eat your grass from the roots, and repeat their lifecycle.
