Professional Grub Control to Protect Your Missouri Lawn
Our grub treatments are timed to effectively control and prevent lawn grub damage.
Grubs can quickly wreak havoc in a lush, green lawn. These root-feeding pests cause brown patches in the grass and an infestation needs to be tackled with insecticide as soon as you notice grub damage. That’s why Loyalty Lawn Care offers grub control treatments as a part of our St. Louis lawn care services. We offer both curative and preventative insecticides to ensure your lawn is safeguarded. If you’re unsure about possible grubs in your lawn, our team is happy to take a look. Contact us today for a free quote!
What are Lawn Grubs?
Grub worms, commonly referred to as white grubs, are the larvae of various beetles, including Japanese beetles, June beetles, and chafers. They are easily spotted by their chunky, c-shaped bodies and white color. Grubs are common in St. Louis lawns throughout late spring and late summer to early fall. During summer, the adult beetles are actively mating and laying eggs to repeat the life cycle. The larvae live in the soil and grubs feed on healthy lawn roots.
Common Signs of White Grubs in Your Lawn
- Wilting grass or seemingly dead patches of grass
- Brown patches throughout the lawn
- A bouncy or spongy feel when walking on your lawn
- Areas of grub damage will pull up easily like loose carpet because grubs have chewed away at the turfgrass roots.
- An increase in wildlife in the lawn, such as skunks, birds, or raccoons. Grubs are a food source for them and they may be hanging around looking for a quick meal!
Curative and Preventative Lawn Grub Control
We schedule our pest control treatments at the ideal time of year to get you the best results and protection for your lawn.
When it comes to preventing white grubs, we offer grub control in late spring or early summer through July. Once they are nested beneath the soil surface, grubs feed on the root systems and our team can provide curative pest control applications. We use high-quality granular insect control products that are designed to stop these root-feeders in their tracks!
