Grubs are a common issue for lawns in Kansas, as they feed on the roots and cause extensive damage. Fortunately, preventative grub control treatments are the solution you need for a grub-free lawn! These treatments work by creating a barrier in the soil and eliminating newly hatched grubs before they have a chance to start feeding on your turf's roots. The best time to apply preventative grub control is between June and July to ensure it's down before grubs become active. If you skip this treatment, you risk grubs infesting your lawn, which will require curative treatments to eliminate them and lawn care services to help it recover from the damage.

How do preventative grub control treatments work?

Preventative grub control treatments are designed to target grubs before they have a chance to cause damage to your lawn. These treatments are applied to your entire lawn, where they'll sink down and create a barrier in the soil. When newly hatched grubs start moving up to reach the roots of your grass, they will come into contact with the treatment and be eliminated before they have a chance to cause any damage to your lawn.

Timing is crucial when it comes to applying preventative grub control treatments. The best time to apply these treatments is between June and July. This is because grubs typically hatch by late summer, and applying the treatment before they do will ensure that it is effective ahead of when they become active. By applying preventative grub control treatments during this time, you can effectively eliminate grubs before they have a chance to start feeding on the roots of your grass.

What happens if you skip preventative grub control treatments?

Skipping preventative grub control treatments can have serious consequences for your lawn. Without these treatments, grubs can easily infest your lawn and cause extensive damage. Grubs feed on the roots of your grass, causing it to become weak and brown. If left untreated, a grub infestation can result in large patches of dead grass throughout your lawn.

Once grubs have infested your lawn, you will need to schedule curative treatments to eliminate them. However, curative treatments can only stop the infestation from getting worse; they cannot reverse the damage that has already been done. To help your turf recover from a grub infestation, you may need to invest in lawn care services, such as fertilization, aeration, and overseeding. These services can help restore the health and appearance of your lawn, but they can be costly and time-consuming. It is much easier and more cost-effective to prevent a grub infestation in the first place by scheduling preventative grub control treatments.

You'll likely need to invest in lawn care services like fertilization, aeration, and overseeding to repair your grub-damaged lawn.
