Grubs

Grubs need to be treated at specific stages in their life cycle to keep them at bay and minimize the damage they can cause in your lawn.  Chris can come out and diagnose whether white grubs will be a problem for your lawn.  

Grubs lay eggs during the summer, depending on which species you have in your area.  Within two weeks, they can begin eating the roots and causing a problem in your lawn.  Over the late Fall and Winter months, they burrow down into the soil and lie dormant in the cold.  In the Spring, they come up toward the roots again to feast until they hatch into beetles in the Summer months, then eating the leaves of plants around your yard above ground.  

Animals such as moles or skunks love to eat grubs.  Mole damage in your lawn is usually a sign that you may have a significant grub population.  If you control the grubs, you can control the moles, making sure that there's not a food source for them in your yard. 

Normally, ,application of chemical for prevention should be applied in Spring to early Summer, and may need to be applied again in late Summer if the problem has not resolved.
