Grub infestations can be difficult to detect, but there are some telltale signs to watch for. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to consult a professional grub control company like Lawn Pride:
Dead or Thinning Grass
Grubs feed on grass roots, cutting off vital nutrients and water. This often leads to patches of dead or thinning grass across your yard.
Visible Beetles
Adult beetles, such as Japanese beetles or June bugs, emerge in late spring and early summer to lay eggs. If you notice an increase in beetle activity, it could indicate a potential grub problem.
Rolling Grass
Severe grub infestations loosen the grass from its roots, making it easy to roll back like a carpet. This is a clear sign of significant underground damage caused by grubs.
Preventative vs. Curative Grub Control Treatments
There are two primary approaches to controlling grubs in your lawn: preventative and curative treatments. By combining both treatment types, we create a year-round plan that protects your lawn from grubs and ensures long-term health. Lawn Pride offers both, ensuring your lawn gets the right care at the right time.
Preventative Treatments
These are applied before grubs hatch or become active, stopping them before they can cause damage. Preventative care is most effective during the early summer when beetle eggs are beginning to hatch.
Curative Treatments
Designed to eliminate existing grub infestations, these treatments target grubs at later stages of their lifecycle, typically in late summer or early fall.
