Easton Grub Control
The number one insect problem that is responsible for killing turfgrass in the northeast is the damage created by the larva of many of the scarabaeid (beetles) pests. These larvae are commonly known as white grubs. White grub damage can be devastating to home lawns, athletic fields, parks, cemeteries, golf courses and other turfgrass areas. Damage typically shows up in September and is evident through October. In the spring as soil temperatures warm, grubs will resume feeding. Damage caused by white grubs is the result of the grubs eating the root system of the turf. Symptoms of white grub damage begin with the turf turning a bluish color (wilting), followed by the death of the turfgrass stand. Dead turf can be easily pulled up or rolled back, often exposing the grubs. (fig. 1 and 2).
