Grub Control

The Good, The Bad, and The Grubby: Grub Control Services at Black Diamond Turf Maintenance

We may be talking turf services, but when it comes to grubs, it doesn’t hurt to have over 80 years of experience in pest control. A beautiful lawn can be an inviting space for family and friends, but it can also be a welcoming haven for minuscule menaces like grubs. These pests can undermine the health and vibrancy of your lawn. At Black Diamond Turf Maintenance, we offer specialized grub control services to protect your lawn from the damaging effects of these pests. Our comprehensive approach ensures your yard remains lush and resilient against infestations.

The Benefits of Grub Control

  • Prevents Lawn Damage: Grubs feed on the roots of grass, leading to brown patches and thinning lawns. Effective control preserves your lawn's appearance and health.
  • Promotes Root Growth: By eliminating grubs, your grass can establish a healthier root system, leading to improved drought resistance and overall resilience.
  • Enhances Lawn Resilience: A grub-free lawn is better equipped to withstand stress from foot traffic, heat, and disease.
  • Supports Soil Health: By controlling pests, we help maintain a balanced ecosystem in your soil, promoting the growth of beneficial microorganisms.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q:
What are grubs, and why are they harmful to my lawn?
A:

Grubs are the larvae of beetles, such as Japanese beetles and June bugs. They feed on grass roots, causing brown patches, weak turf, and increased vulnerability to drought and disease.

Q:
How do I know if I have a grub problem?
A:

Signs of a grub infestation include irregular brown patches, spongy or loose turf, and an increase in birds, skunks, or raccoons digging up your lawn to feed on grubs. You can also check for grubs by pulling back a section of sod—if you see more than five grubs per square foot, you likely have an infestation.

Q:
When is the best time to treat for grubs?
A:

The most effective time to treat grubs is late spring to early summer when eggs are hatching and young grubs are most vulnerable. Preventative treatments in early spring and follow-up treatments in the fall can also help maintain control.

Q:
Can I prevent grubs from coming back?
A:

Yes! Preventative grub treatments are key to stopping infestations before they start. Keeping your lawn healthy with proper fertilization, aeration, and watering also helps make it less inviting for beetles to lay eggs.

Q:
Are your grub control treatments safe for pets and children?
A:

Absolutely! We use environmentally responsible products that are safe for your family and pets. We do recommend keeping off the lawn for a short period after application to allow treatments to dry.

Q:
Will grub control also help with other lawn pests?
A:

While our grub treatments specifically target grubs, a healthier lawn is naturally more resistant to other pests and diseases. We also offer additional pest control services if needed.

Q:
Do I need to water my lawn after a grub control treatment?
A:

Yes! Watering helps the treatment penetrate the soil and reach the grubs effectively. We will provide specific instructions based on the treatment applied.

Q:

A:

It’s easy! Call 888-DO-MY-YARD to schedule an inspection, and our experts will create a customized treatment plan to protect your lawn.
