How to Tell You Have Grubs in Your Lawn

Grubs spend most of their lives underground, so you won’t usually see them on the surface. But if you know what to look for, the signs of a grub problem are hard to miss. Early treatment can prevent major damage—here’s what to watch for:

  • Dead Grass – As grubs grow, they eat your grass's roots. Without roots, your grass cannot absorb nutrients from the soil and will quickly die. So, dead patches of grass can be a sign that you have grubs under your yard.
  • Beetles – When grubs mature, they become the beetles that often stay around your yard. Many of these beetles, like Japanese beetles, are invasive species with no natural predators, which causes them to thrive. Beetles will usually emerge from the ground in the summer months, sometime between May and July, making spring a good time for prevention.
  • The Grass Roll Method – The most reliable way to identify a grub problem is by seeing it. Instead of digging around your entire yard, the grass roll method allows you to pinpoint the location of large infestations. If you notice a section of dead grass, gently lift it. When grubs have eaten all the roots, that section of grass will easily lift and roll like a carpet. You will likely see the grubs underneath.

The Difference between Preventive and Curative Grub Treatments

Grubs may be small, but the damage they cause can be big. That’s why our lawn grub control services include both preventive and curative treatments.

  • Preventive Treatments
    These are applied early in the season before grubs become active. They target larvae while they’re still small and easy to control.
  • Curative Treatments
    These treatments are used during the summer when grubs are active and feeding. They help stop damage in its tracks and reduce the beetle population before they reproduce.

Most lawns benefit from a combination of both treatments throughout the season for complete protection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lawn Grub Control Services

As an experienced grub control company, we know that fighting a grub infestation can be overwhelming. Lawn Pride of Huntsville’s lawn care specialists are always available to answer questions for you. However, we have provided some of the most common questions about grubs below.

What are grubs, and why are they a problem for my lawn?

Grubs are beetle larvae that feed on grass roots, weakening your lawn from the ground up. Without treatment, they can cause widespread damage and leave large dead patches across your yard.

Will grubs survive the winter in Huntsville?

Yes, many grubs burrow deeper into the soil during cold weather, surviving winter temperatures. They return in spring to feed again, making ongoing treatment important for long-term lawn protection.

When is the best time to treat grubs in Madison County?

The ideal window is between April and July, depending on weather conditions. Lawn Pride of Huntsville combines early-season preventive treatments with mid-season curative care for comprehensive grub control.

Can grub damage be reversed once the lawn is treated?

Yes, with proper lawn care. Lawn Pride of Huntsville can help restore damaged areas using fertilization, seeding, or aeration, depending on the severity. Early treatment significantly limits long-term effects.

How do Lawn Pride’s treatments differ from store-bought grub products?

Our professional-grade products and targeted application strategies outperform DIY options. Lawn Pride of Huntsville also monitors treatment effectiveness and offers follow-ups to ensure grubs are fully under control.

Are Lawn Pride’s grub control treatments safe for kids and pets?

Yes, once dry. We use EPA-approved products and provide clear guidance after each application to ensure your lawn is safe for family and pets within a short window.

Will treating grubs help reduce beetles in my yard?

Yes. Since grubs grow into beetles, early intervention helps minimize the beetle population later in the season. Lawn Pride of Huntsville helps break that cycle with well-timed treatments.

Do I need grub control every year?

If you've had a past infestation, it’s wise to treat preventively each season. Lawn Pride of Huntsville offers annual programs to protect against recurring grub problems and safeguard your lawn year-round.
