The Hubbub About Grubs
—
by
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, grubs may be one of the most dangerous pests to the average suburban household. Not only do grubs, themselves do damage to lawns but so do the animals that feed on them in spring and fall. Skunks, moles and raccoons eat grubs and hence, tear up your lawn while hunting for them.
Grubs are the larva of many species of beetle, the most notorious being the Japanese Beetle. The larva of the Japanese Beetle eat the roots of new spring plants and newly awakening spring grass. Bare patches, yellowing and dead grass are evidence of grubs gone wild. What’s a lawn lover to do?
Grubs can be eliminated in your lawn by treating early in the spring. Grub control treats the lawn at the root source where grubs live. Eliminating grubs prevents damage before it can really begin.
In Michigan, the best time to start a grub prevention treatment is in April.
Kiwi Landscaping and Fertilizing offers a grub control program in the spring as well as late autumn.
