Grubs: The Hidden Root-Chewers Killing Your Grass—And How Weed Patrol Stops Them Cold

What Exactly Are Grubs?

Flip up a piece of struggling sod and you might spot fat, white, C-shaped larvae. Those are grubs—young beetles (Japanese beetles, June bugs, masked chafers) fresh out of their eggs. They settle just below the surface and feast on tender grassroots.

The Damage They Cause

• Roots Get Mowed Down: Grubs chew through the fine roots that anchor and hydrate each blade.

• Brown, Spongy Patches: With no roots left, grass wilts, browns, and peels up like loose carpet.

• Critter Chaos: Skunks, raccoons, and birds rip up the lawn overnight hunting

  for an easy snack.

• Weed Invasion: Bare soil turns into prime real estate for crabgrass and broadleaf weeds.

Why Fast Action Matters

Grubs grow bigger and hungrier every week. Ignore them and you’ll be paying for sod or a full lawn renovation before you know it.
