Grub Control

Gaining Ground On Grubs

Grub worm damage can now be prevented with our new Guaranteed Grub Preventative program. One treatment provides season long control.

Grub worms are as ugly as the damage they cause. These pests are so sneaky it is often difficult to even know they are doing damage until it is too late. Worse yet, they usually pick the lushest lawns to feast on.

Grub worms are white, C-shaped larvae that are in the developmental stage of May, June or Japanese beetles. These pests are found in the soil below the thatch layer of your lawn and feed on the roots of grass plants. When left untreated, grubs can cause severe damage to turf grass in a short period of time.


How can you tell if your lawn has grubs?

Grub damage leaves irregular brown patches and the lawn may have a spongy feel. Sod will roll up like loose carpet, if the roots are already destroyed. The only way to detect that your lawn has grubs is to gently pull up a small section of sod. If you see more than four grubs per square foot, you may have a problem.


Timing is everything.
Seasonal Ups And Downs Of Grubs In Turf
Our Grub Preventative takes a new approach to grub control by applying the treatment in mid June. The treatment is applied to soil and is taken up by plant roots. It last longer and requires a lower dosage than other types of traditional grub treatments. Unlike other treatments, this treatment is applied weeks before grubs are active so grass plants have time to take it in. If you miss the timing of our grub preventative application, standard applications still work.
