Symptoms of Grub Feeding

Detecting a white grub infestation in your lawn is vital for effective intervention.

  • Keep an eye out for key indicators, such as irregular brown patches in the grass, which result from the grubs feeding on grassroots and depriving affected areas of nutrients and water.
  • When walking on your lawn feels spongy or soft, it could be due to the grubs tunneling through the soil.
  • An increase in animal activity, like skunks, raccoons, moles, or birds, digging up your lawn can also signify white grub presence.
  • Furthermore, you might notice that the turf is easily peelable or that the roots appear damaged.

To confirm the infestation, you can dig a small section of your lawn to search for the distinctive C-shaped, white grubs.

Timing can be a crucial factor; grubs are more active near the surface during late summer and early fall. Swift action upon detection, often with the assistance of a professional lawn care service like Green Garden Landscaping, is essential to prevent extensive damage to your lawn.


If you suspect a white grub infestation in your lawn or notice any of these signs, it's advisable to consult with a professional lawn care service, like Green Garden Landscaping, for a thorough inspection and appropriate treatment. Early detection and intervention are essential to prevent extensive damage to your lawn.

  • Why did my yard get grubs?

    White grubs, the larvae of various beetle species, can infest your yard for several reasons:


    Life Cycle: Many species of beetles, such as Japanese beetles, June beetles, and European chafers, lay their eggs in the soil during the summer. These eggs hatch into white grubs, which begin feeding on grassroots in late summer and early fall.


    Attractive Environment: Grubs are drawn to lawns with healthy grass and well-irrigated soil. A lush, well-maintained lawn can provide an ideal environment for them.


    Damp Soil: White grubs thrive in moist soil. Overwatering or poor drainage in your lawn can create conditions conducive to their infestation.


    Natural Cycles: Grub populations can vary from year to year, influenced by factors like weather conditions, predator populations (e.g., birds and skunks), and the presence of other pests.


    Geographic Location: Some regions are more prone to white grub infestations than others. Certain beetle species are more common in specific areas, leading to varying degrees of infestation risk.


    Previous Infestations: If your lawn has experienced grub problems in the past, it may be more susceptible to recurring infestations.


    Landscaping Choices: Certain landscaping practices, such as planting favored beetle host plants or using certain types of mulch, can attract adult beetles to lay their eggs in your yard.


    Understanding the reasons behind your grub infestation can help you take preventive measures to protect your lawn in the future. Employing professional lawn care services, like Green Garden Landscaping, can help identify and address the root causes of the issue and implement effective control measures.

  • Will grub damaged lawn grow back?

    The potential for a lawn damaged by white grubs to grow back largely depends on the severity of the damage, the type of grubs involved, the timing of treatment, the grass species, and ongoing maintenance. 


    Lawns with minor to moderate damage and those receiving early, effective treatment have a better chance of recovery. Resilient grass types and consistent lawn care practices also contribute to regrowth. In cases of severe damage, overseeding or resodding may be necessary to encourage regrowth. 


    To ensure your lawn's optimal recovery, professional guidance from experts like Green Garden Landscaping can be invaluable in assessing the situation and implementing a tailored plan for rehabilitation.

    If you want to prevent this from happening call us at (919) 478-1852. 

  • What does grub eat?

    Grubs feed on grass roots and organic soil materials, causing lawn grass to die in patches. 

    The type of grub they eat determines what they eat. Lawn grubs that live on the surface eat grass leaves. The Japanese beetle and June grubs (also known as the May beetle) larvae feed on tuft roots and other organic matter present in the soil. 

    Warm-season grasses including St. Augustine, Bermudagrass, Buffalograss, and Zoysia grass are popular with white grubs. 


    To know more about grub and how to get rid of it, call Green Garden Landscaping at (919) 478-1852.

  • When should I start grub control on my garden?

    When there's a lot of grub worm activity in your landscape, the best time to apply grub control is between early spring and late summer. 

    Apply grub preventers between June and July, just before they hatch, and grub killers between spring and summer, when you observe signs of grass damage.
