How to Treat Grubs in Your Lawn

Grubs are one of those lawn problems that seem to come out of nowhere, and once the damage shows, it’s already pretty far along. If you’re seeing patches of brown grass that lift easily from the soil in September, there’s a good chance grubs are the culprit. These pests feed on grass roots, making it impossible for your lawn to stay green and healthy.

The good news is that you can stop grub damage before it starts, and we’re here to show you how.

Timing Is Everything

At Farison Lawn Care, we typically treat for grubs in May or June using a preventative granular application. This treatment targets grubs before they hatch and start causing damage. It’s an easy way to protect your lawn through the peak summer season and one of the most effective tools we have.

If you’re already seeing damage this fall, that means grubs are active below the surface. In this case, we switch to a curative granular application. This product is different from the preventative treatment. It’s specifically designed to kill grubs that are already feeding on your lawn.

What to Do Now and Next Year

If you’re noticing turf damage, it’s essential to act quickly. The sooner we apply a curative product, the more likely we are to stop further damage and help your lawn start recovering.

But the real win comes from prevention. If you’ve dealt with grubs this year or want to make sure you don’t in the future, talk to us about scheduling a preventative treatment next spring. It’s the best grub control strategy for long-term lawn health.

Grub problems don’t go away on their own, and repairing grub-damaged turf can take time. With expert lawn care services and a seasonal treatment plan, you can avoid the frustration altogether.
