Midsummer is the Time for Grub Control

Have you thought about how you’re going to protect your lawn from grubs?

Why is it so important?

As summer heats up, your lawn becomes especially vulnerable to grub infestations — the C-shaped larvae of beetles that feed on grassroots. Left unchecked, these pests can wreak havoc on your lawn, causing weakened turf, brown patches, and increased vulnerability to drought and disease.

Here is an overview of how grubs work, the damage they can do to your lawn, and how you can manage them.

1. Grub Lifecycle Timing

Beetles lay eggs in late spring to early summer, and those eggs hatch into grubs in June and July. This is the critical developmental window when grubs are small, just starting to feed, and most vulnerable to control efforts.
Ever So Green treatments strike at the heart of grub activity, preventing root damage that leads to spongy turf and brown spots.

2. How Grubs Harm Your Lawn

Grubs munch on grassroots, which can lead to loose, spongey soil and dead patches as turf loses root support. It can also Attract wildlife digging for larvae (e.g. skunks, raccoons, birds), causing further lawn damage.

3. Ever So Green’s July Strategy
