Grubs in my Beds!

I added some perennials to my landscape beds a few days ago and came across some white grubs. It is normal to find grubs in your landscape beds. Just because you see grubs in your landscape beds, doesn’t mean you will have grubs in your lawn; grubs are not very mobile. Right now they are feeding on organic matter in the soil. Do not worry if you find a few while working this spring. It takes high populations to do damage.

Grubs that damage to your lawn later in the season will hatch from eggs that will be laid by chafer beetles and May/June beetles in July. You can apply a grub control product to your turf areas during the summer to prevent grubs from damaging your turf. A lawn care service, like Ryan Lawn & Tree, can also provide this application for you.
