Keeping Grubs Out of Your Lawn
A GRUBBY MESS
It’s the dream of almost every homeowner – a picture perfect lawn. Unfortunately, when those brown spots start popping up, it may spell one big problem – grubs.
A BEAUTIFUL LAWN
Grubs are actually the larvae form of a couple of different kinds of beetles. They can live in one or three year cycles, and you can see them begin to emerge during any month of the warm weather season. They’ll feed on your lawn as they grow into adults.
