About our grub control services
White grubs are a common threat to healthy lawns, feeding on grass roots and causing significant damage if left unchecked. They are elusive pests, living and feeding beneath the soil and often going unnoticed until brown patches start to appear. If you suspect an infestation, pull back a section of turf — if the grass lifts easily, like new sod, you will usually find white grubs within the top inch of soil. Early detection matters, because untreated grubs severely weaken a lawn into dead patches and attract secondary pests like skunks and moles that dig for them. We assess the property, confirm the infestation, and apply treatment timed to the life cycle rather than to the calendar.

FAQs
Frequently asked
How do I know if I have grubs?
Pull back a section of turf in a brown patch. If the grass lifts easily like a piece of sod, because the roots have been chewed off, look in the top inch of soil for white C-shaped larvae.
Is preventive treatment better than waiting for damage?
Yes, considerably. Preventive applications go down ahead of the summer hatch and stop the damage before it starts. Curative treatment after brown patches appear kills the grubs but you are still left repairing dead turf.
