Things you need to know about grubs in your lawn.
If you are reading this, you have likely already determined you have been affected by grubs in your lawn. There are clues that this is happening:
-yellow/brown patches of lawn that pulls out easily because it has no root system
-you have actually seen them when working on your turf
-tell-tale signs that crows, racoons etc. have been tearing up your lawn looking to dine on the grubs
Grubs love to munch on the roots of grass. Weak grass is a favourite. The trick to getting rid of them is a multi pronged approach.
The first thing that must be done is the affected area needs to be professionally sprayed. Yes, there is a product you can get from your local hardware store, but it is said to be rated at about 65% effective. I have tried it and it doesn’t work. As a licensed professional, I can spray a restricted use chemical that is rated 90%-95% effective. The key to this is timing. There is a short window in the spring and another window in the fall where the spray is effective.
Once you have treated for grubs, you may notice that crows etc. are still tearing apart your lawn. They have learned that your grass is a great place for a meal and it will take some time for them to realize that the diner is closed.
