Grubs: The Smallest Threat to Your Lawn
Grubs are among the most destructive lawn pests in the United States, but with the right approach, you can protect your lawn from these tiny invaders. Americans spend millions yearly replacing lawns destroyed by these small, white, C-shaped insects with brown heads.
What Are Grubs?
Grubs are the larvae of various scarab beetles, such as Japanese beetles, chafers, and June and May beetles. These pests reside a few inches beneath the lawn's surface, feeding on grass roots.
Signs of Grub Damage
Identifying grub damage can be challenging, but look for these indicators:
- Thinning Lawn: A general weakening and thinning of your grass.
- Wilted Appearance: Grass that looks wilted or dried out, even when the soil is moist.
- Brown Patches: Large, irregular patches of brown grass.
- Loose Turf: Patches of dead turf that can be easily pulled up like a piece of carpet.
Grub damage tends to be most severe in late summer but can start as early as mid- to late spring. Prevention is most effective when grubs are young, so take action from May through early summer.
Preventive Measures
One effective way to prevent grubs is by using Bayer Advanced™ Season-Long Grub Control, which contains the active ingredient Merit. This is the only ingredient guaranteed to kill all common types of grubs, making it the top choice among turf professionals. Apply it to your lawn and water it in to create a season-long protective zone against grubs.
