Professional Lawn Grub Treatment

Grubs may be small, but they can cause some huge problems in your lawn. These underground larvae—especially the white grub, the larva of Japanese beetles, June beetles, and European chafers—feed on the grassroots and disrupt your turf’s ability to absorb nutrients and water. A grub infestation left untreated can cost you thousands in turf restoration and make your lawn the talk of the neighborhood for all the wrong reasons. So, if you’re after a lawn that looks like it belongs on a golf course instead of a battlefield, lawn grub treatment is essential.

How to Know You've Got Grubs in Your Lawn

Seeing small patches of dead grass or turf that peel away like a loose carpet? That’s a sign grubs are actively munching below the surface. You may also spot animals digging or even see grubs yourself—pale, curled little larva about the size of a penny. If you’re seeing more than 5–10 grubs per square foot, it’s time to call in the pros. Don’t wait until the damage from grubs becomes visible damage—early intervention means easier, less expensive recovery.

FAQ – Grub Control & Lawn Recovery

Timing is everything! Preventative products are best applied from late spring to early summer when beetles lay their eggs in the soil. Curative insecticides are more effective in late summer or early fall when grubs are feeding actively.
Check for grubs in your lawn by peeling back the turf and counting the larvae. If you find more than 6–10 grubs per square foot, you've got a grub problem. You may also notice brown patches or wildlife digging in search of a food source.
Most grub control products are safe once dry. We always recommend following label directions and keeping pets and kids off-treated areas of the lawn for at least 24 hours, just to be safe.
Yes! Organic matter like milky spores or beneficial nematodes are great alternatives to traditional insecticides. While they may take longer to reduce the grub population, they're a safe and effective choice for eco-conscious homeowners.
Preventative treatments stop grubs from hatching and are usually applied in late spring. Curative treatments, on the other hand, are meant to kill grubs that are already present, especially in late July or early August when grubs are actively feeding.
Treating the grub infestation stops further damage, but you may still need to repair dead patches through seeding or top dressing. Thankfully, Weed Pro can help with that, too!
Most grub control is done once per year, but in areas with high grub populations, more frequent treatments may be necessary. We recommend annual monitoring and testing, especially if you've had grub problems in the past.
Nope! There are different species of white grubs, and their lifecycle timing varies. Our team can help identify the type—like Japanese beetle grubs or chafer larvae—to make sure the right grub control product is used.
Healthy, well-maintained turf is your best defense. Avoid overwatering, mow regularly, and limit organic material buildup. Reducing your grubs' food supply also means fewer adult beetles laying eggs in your soil.
Grubs primarily target lawns by feeding on the grassroots, but they can also impact garden beds—especially if turfgrass is nearby or soil conditions are similar. Their presence can disturb the soil structure and weaken the roots of ornamental plants or vegetables. While less common, grub activity in garden soil can still contribute to plant stress and poor growth.
Grubs are a high-protein snack for critters like skunks, raccoons, armadillos, and even crows. These animals will tear up your lawn in search of larvae, often causing more visible surface damage than the grubs themselves. If you notice holes or flipped turf, it's a strong sign that animals are targeting grubs as a food source.
Yes, grub damage is often mistaken for drought stress, fungal disease, or poor irrigation. However, a key difference is that grub-damaged grass will peel up easily, like a carpet, because the roots have been chewed away. If your lawn feels spongy and lifts without resistance, grubs may be the culprits.
Mowing before applying grub control is actually helpful, as it allows better soil contact and prevents tall grass from interfering with the treatment. However, avoid mowing immediately after application to give the product time to absorb into the soil. Keeping your lawn trimmed can also help spot early signs of grub activity more easily.
Yes, drought-stressed lawns often have weaker root systems, making them easier targets for grub feeding. A well-watered and healthy lawn is more resilient and can better withstand minor grub activity.
Yes, many species of lawn grubs reduce their activity, overwinter, and resume feeding as temperatures rise. Without proper treatment, these grubs can emerge in spring and begin damaging your lawn all over again.
Absolutely. Cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass tend to be more vulnerable to grub infestations. Warm-season grasses often have tougher root systems but can still be affected if the infestation is severe.
