Have you noticed dark patches in your yard that never seem to green up and grow? Have you noticed there seems to be something going on in your yard that is making it look patchy or different in some areas? You may be dealing with a grub problem.

If you are in need of insect treatment services , consider Mackinson Turf Management as your provider.
Brown Spots
You’re probably going to notice these in late summer early fall around your yard. It is a patch of your grass that has turned brown and has no grass growing green at all. It may have green around it but it has stopped growing. This is because the grubs are feeding on the roots of that patch and it has died.
You’ll notice these brown spots especially as summer drags on and the heat takes a toll on the grass itself. It may be later in the year that you realize you have a grub problem; however, it’s not too late to take care of it.
Loose Roots
Because grubs feed on the roots of your lawn, you may notice the grass itself will peel up like a piece of carpet. This is where your roots have been completely destroyed and taken over by the small 1 ½ inch curved worms.
Getting Rid of Grubs
If you can discover them early on in the year, then you can have a preventive treatment applied. However, if it’s later in the summer, early fall, you’ll have to have a faster curative type treatment applied.
