If you think you have grub worms on your property, follow the advice of these lawn care specialists:

  • Identify Grub-Infested Areas: The most obvious sign of a grub infestation is a brown and burnt-looking lawn or patches of grass that appear to be dying; such grass will peel easily away from the soil, like pulling up carpet. 
  • lawn careWater Thoroughly: Grubs like lots of soil and grass that’s easy to move through. Water your lawn deeply often to encourage thicker turf, so it is more difficult for them to move in.
  • De-Thatch Grass: If you suspect you have grubs, first remove any thick thatch layers of your lawn. This will enable grub treatment to penetrate it properly and thoroughly. 
  • Watch Surrounding Lawns: One way to stay on top of grub growth is by monitoring the yards around yours. If you notice brown patches and areas that look like grub infestation on your neighbor’s lawn, it can easily spread to yours. In such cases, taking preventative measures, like over-seeding, aerating your yard, and investing in the services of a lawn care expert, can help keep your grass green and healthy.
