There’s a good chance you already know something about lawn grubs. These small, white problem creatures can be the larvae of a number of different species, but they all want the same thing, the roots buried deep in your lawn. Even as adults, they’ll work to destroy what you’ve built, so dealing with them this fall is an absolute must. Get rid of lawn grubs with a good grubs prevention program.
Prevention is Best
As with many other creatures, grubs prevention is always going to be your best bet, and that starts with a good lawn care plan. If you use a lawn care service, your best bet is to talk to your service professional and come up with a plan that helps fight grubs. If you maintain your own lawn, your goal is to make sure your lawn is thick and healthy, as that will deter grubs from your property. Keep in mind that the goal isn’t necessarily to deter healthy predators as if you do, your grub problem could grow, so don’t take the approach that has you at the hardware store grabbing a can of something off the shelf. Instead, take some simple steps like improving your drainage and ensuring your lawn isn’t overwatered.
Better Fall Lawn Care
Fall is when the grubs tend to do the most damage to your lawn because they’re growing quickly to prepare for the cooler winter temperatures, so they’re consuming more of your lawn’s roots. If you notice odd shapes of lawn damage, patches of grass that feel like they have very little support or are spongy, it’s time to check for a problem. Give us a call. We’ll not only help you suppress and control grubs, but we can also help you take care of your entire lawn, keeping it healthy throughout grub season and the rest of the year.
