🪱 How to Remove Grubs From Your Garden
Say Goodbye to Lawn Damage and Pesky Patches!
Nothing ruins a beautiful yard faster than a grub infestation. These sneaky little pests live underground, feeding on the roots of your grass, causing large brown spots and dead patches that seem to appear out of nowhere. Worse still, their presence attracts wildlife like raccoons, skunks, and birds, who will happily dig up your lawn in search of a grub snack.
But there’s good news — you can take back control of your lawn without harsh chemicals or expensive treatments! 🙌
🌱 What Are Grubs and Why Should You Care?
Grubs are the larvae of beetles, especially Japanese beetles, which lay eggs during midsummer. These eggs hatch into grub worms that nestle into your lawn’s root zone, chewing through the roots and killing your grass from beneath the surface.
Common signs of grub damage include:
- Brown, irregular patches that peel back easily like loose carpet
- Increased bird or animal activity digging up your yard
- Thinning grass despite watering and fertilizing
💡 How to Get Rid of Grubs — The Smart Way
Dealing with grubs is all about timing and detection. The best time to act is late summer or early fall, right after the beetles lay eggs and before the grubs mature.
✅ Preventative Steps You Can Take:
- Apply beneficial nematodes or milky spore to attack grubs naturally
- Aerate your soil to break up compacted areas grubs love
- Mow high — longer grass shades the soil and deters beetles
- Avoid overwatering — moist lawns attract beetles looking to lay eggs
