Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

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

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.

How do I know if I have a grub problem?

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.

When is the best time to treat for grubs?

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.

Can I prevent grubs from coming back?

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.

Are your grub control treatments safe for pets and children?

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.

Will grub control also help with other lawn pests?

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.

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

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