Have you noticed signs of grubs in your lawn? Maybe you’ve noticed the grass feels a little spongy, or you’re finding brown patches where the grass was once green. 

Grubs are a huge problem through the summer in Michigan. When you’re beginning to prep your lawn for warmer weather, there are a few things you can do to make sure grubs won’t be an issue later on.

How to Prevent and Deal with Lawn Grubs

There are many products on the market to help you deal with grubs, but timing is very important. 

Healthy soil and pest management will give you the upper hand in grub defense.

How do You Know if You Have Grubs?

Look for dry patches in early spring to mid-summer that signals grubs have developed into adults. Grubs regularly eat grass roots, so grass and soil damage will be noticeable. 

Additionally, you may notice spongy spots or gives a little as you walk on it. This could be indicative of an infestation. 
Finally, if you’ve noticed more creatures feasting on your lawn, that’s a pretty sure sign that you have grubs. Look out for an increase of birds, raccoons, skunks, or moles. 

When is the Best Time to Apply Grub Control? 

First, make the distinction about if you’re preventing grubs, or killing the ones already damaging your lawn. It’s best to put down grub preventers in June and July just before the grubs begin to hatch. This provides the best preventative control for the next season. 

If you already have damage and need to stop it, the best time to apply an insecticide in your lawn is as soon as you notice signs of damage, which will likely be in early spring. This is when grub worms are most actively eating and damaging your lawn.

At Ever So Green, spring treatment is provided as necessary, but mid-summer is our normal recommended time.
