think you might have a grub problem on your lawn? here are the things to look for and what you can do to fix it

Spring is a great time for your lawn to thrive, but it’s also the time when grubs can start to become a problem. Grubs are the larvae of beetles, such as Japanese beetles or June bugs, and they can damage your lawn by feeding on its roots. At First Impression Landscapes, we know how to deal with spring lawn grub problems. Here are some tips to help you get rid of grubs in your lawn:

1. Identify the problem

The first step in dealing with a spring lawn grub problem is to identify that it is in fact grubs that are causing the damage to your lawn. Grubs are usually white or gray, C-shaped, and have six legs. You may also see other signs of a grub infestation, such as yellow or brown patches of grass, or skunks and raccoons digging up your lawn in search of grubs.

2. Apply Grub Control Products

There are a variety of grub control products available to help get rid of grubs in your lawn. These products typically come in granular form and are applied to your lawn with a spreader. It’s important to follow the instructions carefully when using these products, as overuse can damage your lawn.

3. Nematodes

Nematodes are a type of microscopic worm that can help control grub populations. They are safe for your lawn and don’t harm other insects or animals. Nematodes are typically applied with a sprayer or watering can, and it’s important to water your lawn thoroughly after application.

4. Keep Your Lawn Healthy

A healthy lawn is less likely to be damaged by grubs. Keeping your lawn well-fed and properly watered can help keep it strong and resilient. It’s also important to mow your lawn at the proper height to prevent damage to the roots.

5. Hire a Professional

If you’re not comfortable dealing with a spring lawn grub problem on your own, or if the problem is severe, consider hiring a professional lawn care company like First Impression Landscapes.
