Do you feel like your lawn is turning into a minefield? Skunks, birds, and raccoons have secretly organized a meeting in your yard? Look no further—the culprits are probably white grubs! Don't panic—we have everything you need to help you get your lawn back to its former glory.
What is a white worm?
A white grub isn't just another insignificant little insect. It's the larva of certain beetles such as:
- Common cockchafers (Phyllophaga spp.),
- Japanese beetles (Popillia japonica),
- And other happy troublemakers of your lawn.
These grubs, though seemingly harmless, feed on the roots of your lawn. Their life cycle? A well-crafted story: the adults lay their eggs in the summer, the grubs hatch, and spend the following fall and spring gorging on your roots. The damage is caused during the larval stage, when these little gluttons feast beneath your lawn.
Knowing how to recognize white worm damage
How do you know if you're a victim of these petty criminals? Here are some clues:
- Lawn that seems to pull up easily: The roots are destroyed, and the grass lifts up almost like a carpet.
- Presence of predators: Skunks, raccoons and birds love white worms and will not hesitate to dig up your land to devour them.
- Yellow or dead areas in your lawn: These unsightly spots are often the first sign of an infestation.
If you recognize your situation, don't panic. There are simple and effective solutions to bring your lawn back to life.
