What are Grubs?
The term 'grub' commonly refers to the larvae of various beetle species found in Minnesota. Two prevalent types are the larvae of the June bug and the Japanese beetle.
Grubs are typically small, curled, and white in appearance. They damage lawns by feeding on grassroots, causing dead patches, weakened root systems, and increased susceptibility to other lawn problems.
How do I know if my lawn has a grub problem?
All Minnesota lawns have grubs! However, recognizing signs of a grub problem in your lawn is crucial for timely intervention.
Five key indicators:
- Dead or Brown Patches from grub feeding on grassroots
- Weak Turf Root System where grass easily pulls up
- Birds Feeding on Your Lawn (crows or starlings attracted to grubs)
- Animals Digging in Your Lawn (skunks, raccoons, opossums seeking grubs)
- Mole Activity drawn to grub-abundant lawns
What is Grub Control?
Grub control involves both the eradication of existing grubs and preventive measures to stop their infestation in your lawn before they can cause damage.
