Imagine investing hundreds and hundreds of dollars over the years into making your lawn beautiful, green, and healthy--only to have that lawn taken away in a matter of days by an unseen threat. That is exactly what can happen if you do not use preventative grub control treatments to protect your lawn.

Save your lawn and your money with a preventative treatment administered to properties in Lowell, Ada, Cascade, and nearby areas of Michigan.

Why Preventative Grub Control Is Needed

Lawn filled with grubs in yard soil near Lowell, MI.

Every year, various types of beetles will lay their eggs in your grass. Sounds relatively harmless, right? Bugs are everywhere. However, while these beetle larvae may be harmless to you, they pose a grave danger to your lawn. Once they hatch in late summer, they immediately target your healthy grass, eating the roots and destroying everything in their path. They continue their path of destruction as they grow during their larval stage, eventually burying themselves in the soil to pupate and turn into full adults to begin the process all over again.

This process can be avoided by applying a preventative grub control treatment over your entire lawn in June. The treatment will ensure that the grubs will not hatch and eat your grass. Keep your lawn protected and save yourself a lot of money over having to use lawn repair services.

What Happens When Grubs Damage Your Lawn

If you do not use preventative grub control to stop grubs from damaging your grass, you could end up with an entirely dead lawn. Replacing that lawn can be done in a few ways, such as:

Aeration and seeding will be the most economical option for you, but it will take a while for a new lawn to establish itself in this case. Overseeding requires at least a few months of diligent, routine watering to encourage strong, deep root growth. Another option is hydroseeding, which involves spraying a pre-made slurry mixture of seeds, mulch, fertilizer, and other items onto the bare soil where your old lawn once thrived. Hydroseeding will take a few weeks to begin growing, but not as long as overseeding by itself.

The third option is sod installation, which is ideal if you want an instant lawn that looks healthy. However, this will be by far the most expensive option and can cost up to four times as much as seeding services.

Your best bet is to ensure that your lawn care company applies preventative grub control every year in June.
