Als Garden Center :: Control Grubs and Crane Flies

Homeowners often watch with disgust as brown spots take over their lawn and the grass starts to die. Did you know that little "grubs" could be causing the trouble, chomping away unseen on the grass from the roots up?

White grubs are the larval stage of beetles. The grubs hatch from eggs deposited by beetles on lawns in summertime. They look like small, white, C-shaped worms and feed on the roots of most types of lawn grasses.

They continue eating the lawn's roots into the fall, stop for the winter months, and feast again until May or June when they transform into adults as dreaded beetles.

"Grubs like healthy turf in full sunlight that is well-watered and fertilized — all the things you're supposed to do," says Bayer Advanced Lawn Expert Lance Walheim, who wrote the book Lawn Care for Dummies. "Grub damage is most severe in late summer, but problems can begin as early as mid to late spring. Grubs are easiest to control when they are young, so prevention by taking action in May through early summer is key," says Walheim.

Identifying grub damage can be tricky. Look for:

A general thinning and weakening of the lawn
A wilted or dried-out look to your grass, even when soil is moist
Large, irregular, brown patches of grass
Large patches of dead turf that can easily be pulled up like a piece of carpet, revealing the white C-shaped grubs
Raccoons, opossums, skunks or moles frequently digging into your lawn
