It’s time to start thinking about grub worms!
Grub worms are those giant, nasty, maggot looking critters that can and will absolutely destroy lawns in the spring and fall.
While there are ways to kill active grubs in your lawn, the BEST way is to be proactive and prevent them from becoming and issue to begin with.
Grub preventions HAVE to be applied mid to late spring in order be effective. Grub preventatives target the larvae early in their life cycle, right after they hatch which is typically July. The preventative need to be in the ground and active BEFORE they hatch, which is why start applications in May, and we finish all preventative applications by the middle of June.
Grub preventatives will give you protection for this fall, as well as the following spring. It will have to be reapplied every year for continued protection, as June bugs will be laying news eggs every summer.
Keep in mind that the preventative will not work against grubs that are active in your lawn right now. There are other products that control and kill active grubs that you will need to apply. With the prevention you are looking ahead to the next grub season, which is this fall and the following spring.
Do not put this off. Do not skip this application. Grubs are NOT something you want to deal with…unless you just love pumping money into replacing your lawn!
