Grubs cause substantial and costly damage to lawns in our area every year. Grub damage is permanent and will require seeding to repair areas that have been damaged. Fairway Green Inc. can help protect your lawn from unsightly damage with grub control.
What is a grub?
G
The Identification of grubs is quite easy. They all have a dirty whitish cream color look to them, a brown head with chewing mandibles, and three pairs of short jointed legs. They are usually found in a C-shaped posture.
How do grubs damage the lawn?
To locate the grubs, go to the brown (dead areas) and pull at the grass. It will come up like a carpet and you should see the grubs feeding underneath.
Secondary damage can also occur with the help of small animals such as skunks, birds, raccoons and moles. They will dig up the turf to feed on the grubs below.
How does Grub Control work?
We also recommend NOT putting out Japanese beetle traps. This will attract more beetles to your lawn and give the beetles even more of an opportunity to lay their eggs. If you have already purchased one or multiple of these bags, it might be best to stop using them as they could do more harm than good. The fewer beetles coming onto your lawn translates to a lower chance of having grubs.
