    Warm Winter = More Grubs!

    Just like April showers bring May flowers... A warm winter brings more GRUBS! With an unseasonably warm winter season under our belts, the number of grubs that have survived through the winter months will be much higher than normal.

    Typically, the cold and frost that penetrates the ground will kill a portion of the grubs between November and April. But when temperatures don't dip as expected, these little friends stick around! Yikes!

    What does this mean for you? If your lawn is typically susceptible to grub damage, the effects on your lawn could be even worse this year. As a reminder, some of the telltale signs of a grub problem in your lawn are:

    • Dead or Brown Patches
    • Weak Turf Root System
    • Birds Feeding on Your Lawn
    • Animals Digging in Your Lawn
    • Mole Activity

    However, a single Grub Control application in late Spring / early Summer can save your lawn this summer! Be sure to request a Grub Control estimate on our website if you are concerned about grubs in your lawn.
