Grubs

Grubs are the ground dwelling larval stage of several species of beetles. A high population of grubs can cause damage to lawns and athletics fields, but they can be managed safely. Find below a list of sources to help you identify and monitor for grubs, and suggested biological and organic products to be used to spot treat when grubs are above an acceptable threshold. Please research products carefully and always follow label directions exactly.
