Grubs are a nuisance for lawns in Indiana, as they leave damaged grass in their wake as they feast on the roots of grass. The last thing your precious turf needs is a grub infestation, but you can get ahead of these destructive lawn insects before they cause problems - with a preventative grub control treatment! These treatments are highly effective, sinking into the soil to eliminate grub eggs and newly hatched grubs. However, timing is essential, and you'll want to apply it in the early summer, ahead of them hatching. While this may sound straightforward, the best way to ensure the treatment will work is by hiring professionals to apply it for you.

How Preventative Grub Control Treatments Work

The best method of grub control is prevention, and as the name implies, preventative grub control treatments work to eliminate these pesky lawn insects before they can destroy your turf. This blanket treatment will sink into the soil and eliminate any eggs and newly hatched grubs underneath. That way, they don't get a chance to find their favorite food source - the roots of your grass.

When should you apply preventative grub control treatments?

Because preventative grub control treatments help to get ahead of grubs before they cause problems, timing is essential; these treatments aren't effective on an existing grub infestation. So, you should apply it in the early summer, ahead of a certain point in their life cycle - when they hatch, which will be by late summer.

Why You Should Hire a Professional to Apply a Preventative Grub Control Treatment to Your Lawn

You don't want to underestimate grubs, as they're notorious for causing extensive damage to your lawn. Then, you'll have to spend a lot of money on lawn care services to repair that damage and help it recover. While a preventative grub control treatment is the best way to avoid this, you should hire a professional to apply it. After all, they'll know when to do so to ensure it works. However, that's not all - if grubs do show up on your lawn even after the preventative treatment, most companies will apply a curative one at no additional charge. A curative treatment will eliminate any existing grubs, so it's a risk-free investment. Pros will deliver the results you expect no matter what, which is a grub-free turf!

Common indications of a grub infestation on your lawn is it pulling up like a carpet, the surface feeling spongey when you walk on it, and brown patches of grass.
