Grubs are underground bugs that resemble fat worms; they’re also the offspring of beetles. And while they may not look like much, they’re a major threat to your lawn as their favorite pastime is eating your lawn’s root system.

If you see signs of a grub infestation, we can’t overstate the importance of swift action. And given their prevalence here in Appleton, WI, even if you don’t have a grub problem, it doesn’t hurt to learn what grub damage looks like, what to do if you spot it, and how you can prevent grubs from invading your property in the future.

Common signs of grub damage on your lawn.

While you may not see grubs crawling across your lawn, there are some signs that you can look for that may mean you are dealing with a grub infestation, including:
  • Grass that can be easily peeled from the soil and rolled up like a carpet
  • Patches of brown or dead grass throughout your yard
  • Grass that feels spongy when you walk across it
  • Blades of grass that are wilting
If you notice any of these signs you should contact a company that offers grub control services right away so that they can come to take a look. If you are dealing with a grub infestation, they will know the best course of action to take to get the situation under control and to minimize any damage.

What to do if you see signs of grub damage.

If you notice signs of grub damage on your lawn, you’ll need to take action right away to minimize the damage they can cause. The best thing that you can do is to call a company that offers curative grub control treatments. These curative treatments are designed to kill existing grubs. By killing these grubs, it will prevent further damage from being inflicted on your lawn. Grubs usually begin feasting on the roofs of grass in mid-August, so that is the time that you should really be checking for any signs of their presence.
While you can’t reverse damage caused by grubs, services such as fertilization, overseeding, and core aeration can help you restore your lawn back to health.

Prevent grubs from infesting your property in the future with preventative treatments.

If you already see signs of grubs on your property, that means that it’s too late for preventative treatments. However, it’s important to remember that this problem could have been avoided with preventative treatments. Keep in mind that you can schedule preventative treatments every year, which involves a professional company spraying an insecticide across your lawn. This insecticide will destroy the grub eggs, so you won’t ever have to worry about them hatching and causing damage to your lawn.
Preventative grub control treatments should be scheduled in either May or June because that’s when beetles start laying their eggs.
