Grub Control
Grub control is a single preventive treatment applied between May and July, before Japanese beetle and masked chafer eggs hatch. It stops grubs from eating grass roots in late summer, which is when Indianapolis lawns show brown patches that peel up like carpet.
Why prevent instead of cure
By the time you see grub damage in August, the roots are already gone and the lawn needs repair. A preventive treatment costs less than reseeding and protects the work your lawn program has done all season.
Signs you have grubs
- Brown patches that do not green up after watering
- Turf that lifts like loose carpet
- Skunks, raccoons or birds digging in the lawn
- Lots of Japanese beetles on plants in early summer
Common questions
Is grub control part of the 6-Step program?
It is an add-on, so you can choose it. Most customers in neighborhoods with heavy Japanese beetle activity add it every year.
Can you treat grubs I already have?
Yes. We can apply a curative treatment for active grubs, and then the lawn usually needs overseeding in fall.
