The All-Natural Tip That Can Help Solve Your Lawn’s Grub Worm Problem

If you are wondering whether you have an infestation of grubs, one of the first signs is the appearance of brown patches of grass at random spots in the yard. Make sure that these brown spots don’t have another explanation, such as dog urine in the same place, applying too much fertilizer in one spot, or problems with drought. If the brown spots are related to grubs, you should be able to pull up the brown grass easily. In fact, it may almost roll up like sod, because the pests have eaten the roots and there’s nothing holding the blades of grass to the ground.

Other signs that you may have grubs include seeing birds and raccoons frequently digging into the dirt, looking to find the pests and eat them. Of course, you may also just see the grubs themselves, although this may not happen until you pull up the brown patches or unless you’re digging in the area. Grubs are typically white or grayish in color, with red heads. They are often curled into a C shape when you see them on the ground. They can usually be up to one inch in length when straightened out.
