​Grub Control - You've got grubs, and they are feasting on your lawn’s roots!
Why does my lawn need grub control?
  • All Minnesota lawns have grubs, and we need an annual treatment to control them.
  • Grub is a common term for the larvae of several different species of beetle that live here in Minnesota. The most common types are the larvae of the June bug and Japanese beetle. These are the small curly white worms you find in your garden and flower beds.
  • These beetles mature from their larvae stage in late spring and early summer to feed on your trees and shrubs at night. They return to the ground to lay their eggs, all but ensuring a bigger infestation next year. When the grubs hatch, they immediately start feeding on the roots on your grass and can cause extensive turf damage.
What are the signs that my lawn has grubs?
  • Dead or brown patches of grass that don’t respond to irrigation.
  • Weak turf root system
  • Birds feeding on your lawn
  • Animals digging in your lawn
  • Mole activity
​ Grubs cause other lawn damage too?
  • When grubs are present, you aren’t the only one who notices. Grub is a favorite and easy food for a variety of animals that don’t care how pristine your grass is.
  • If turf damage is not visible yet, a telltale sign that you have a grub problem is with the arrival of moles who feed on them. These subterranean mammals can cause a heck of a lot of damage as they tunnel below the surface of your lawn. When they breach the surface, they pile large unsightly mounds of earth that kills the grass underneath and can cause damage to lawn mower blades.
  • ​Moles aren’t the only hungry animals looking for an easy meal. Skunks, birds, opossums, and raccoons will also dig up your grass in search of tasty grub.
