Grassy gardens often become breeding grounds for beetles that lay eggs which then turn into larvae. These larvae feed on the roots of your grass, resulting in browning and dead patches all over your lawn. Even the most diligent and meticulous homeowners can fall prey to this underground pest issue. The most effective method to combat grub infestations is through professional lawn care services. Lawn Pride of Lebanon & Murfreesboro provides grub control solutions designed to keep your lawn free from serious grub concerns all across Lebanon and Murfreesboro, TN and surrounding communities.

Detecting a Grub Infestation
Many homeowners may already be experiencing a grub issue without their knowledge. Grub problems can only be resolved once they've been properly identified. Since grubs stay underground for most parts of the year, it might appear like unhealthy grass on the surface. There are several telltale signs of grub problems. If any of these symptoms are present, lawn grub control solutions are required to prevent the situation from worsening. Here are some frequent indications of grub presence:
Dead Grass
Grub damage can be diverse, but dead grass stands out as the most prevalent. Grubs devour roots and other subterranean organic matter, depriving your lawn of crucial nutrients and water sources which leads to the grass dying.

Beetle Presence
Grubs are beetle larvae, like June bugs, masked chafer beetles, and Japanese beetles. Some beetles, like the Japanese beetles, are invasive species with no natural foes to control their numbers. These beetles usually surface from May to July, but this may vary depending on geographic location and climate conditions.
Rolling Dead Grass
The best way to identify grubs is by inspecting suspected areas by lifting or rolling the grass back like a carpet. If grubs are present, you'll generally see them in the soil.
Proactive vs. Reactive Treatments
Grub solutions are generally categorized into preventative and curative. Preventative treatments aim to eliminate larvae before they become active or hatch, protecting your lawn. Curative treatments are designed to address active grub infestations, dealing with grubs that have grown and started to rapidly consume your grass. Ideally, the best approach for homeowners facing grub problems incorporates both treatments strategically throughout the year, aligning with the lifecycle phases of the grubs.
