Grubs are a common problem in Texas lawns. Many homeowners don’t know what’s causing their lawn issues when they begin to see brown, wilting patches. They’ve tested their soil and fertilized appropriately. They are conscientious about watering, and they make sure that they use proper mowing techniques.
So why do their patches look like they die? The answer could be Grub. You can see if your grass has a GRUB infestation using a shovel or shovel to dig a portion of the dying page. In fact, it is not always necessary to use a tool. The grass patch fed with GRUB is usually a little tied to the ground. This simply peel the grass with your hands. If you see a lot of small white to C shaped, then you will certainly deal with scraps.
Grubs are the larval stage of certain beetles that are common in Texas. Last year’s beetles are responsible for this year’s crop of grubs. These tiny grubs like to feed on the roots of your grass. If there are enough of them, then they can do some serious and widespread damage. Your lawn will be doing its best to grow new roots, but it remains susceptible to moisture stress if the weather is dry and hot. Accordingly, it’s not really the grubs that kill your lawn, but a lack of hydration caused by the grubs that have eaten off the roots of your grass.
