Why Is Grub Control Crucial to Your Lawn?

Are you gearing up for spring and all the lawn care that comes with it? One important aspect of lawn care that should not be overlooked is grub control. These pesky little insects can wreak havoc on your beautiful lawn if left unchecked. So, before they take over, ArborLawn is here to stress the importance of preventative grub control.

What Are Grubs?

Grubs are the larvae of beetles and can cause significant damage to your lawn by feeding on the grassroots. This can result in brown patches, wilting grass, and even death in the affected areas. Early detection and treatment of grubs is essential to prevent extensive damage to your lawn.

How Can We Control Them?

One of the most effective methods of grub control is using insecticides specifically designed to target these pests. We apply these products before grubs become active to prevent them from causing damage to your lawn. Our approach is to carefully apply these treatments to ensure their effectiveness while minimizing any potential harm to other beneficial insects in your yard.

How Do We Prevent Further Problems?

Regular maintenance practices, such as proper watering, mowing at the correct height, and aerating your lawn, can also help prevent grub infestations by promoting healthy grass growth and root development. Maintaining a thick turf will make it more difficult for grubs to feed on the grassroots and minimize their impact on your lawn.

When Can We Start?

Ensuring early grub control measures are in place is crucial for maintaining a healthy and vibrant lawn throughout the spring and summer months. The sooner we plan for these applications, the better.
