Professional Grub Control

Protect your lawn from destructive grub larvae with preventative or curative treatments.

Grubs are the larvae of Japanese beetles, June bugs, and other beetles. They live in your soil and feed on grass roots, causing brown patches that pull up like loose carpet. Left untreated, grubs can destroy large sections of lawn. They also attract skunks and raccoons that dig up lawns searching for a grub meal. Prevention is the best approach, but curative treatments are available if grubs are already present.

About Our Grub Control Service

Lawnworks offers both preventative and curative grub control treatments. Preventative treatments are applied in early summer (June-July) before beetle eggs hatch, creating a barrier that eliminates grubs as they emerge. Curative treatments are applied in late summer or fall when active grubs are present. For lawns with a history of grub damage, we recommend annual preventative treatment.

Grub Control FAQ

Common questions about our grub control services.

How do I know if I have grubs?

Signs include brown patches that peel back easily (like carpet), increased animal digging (skunks, raccoons), and spongy turf that feels loose underfoot. You can check by cutting a 1-square-foot section of turf and looking for white, C-shaped larvae. More than 5-10 grubs per square foot indicates treatment is needed.

When should grub control be applied?

Preventative grub control is most effective when applied in June-July, before eggs hatch. Curative treatments can be applied in August-September when grubs are actively feeding near the surface. Fall treatments are less effective as grubs move deeper into soil.

Do I need grub control every year?

If you've had grub damage in the past, annual preventative treatment is recommended. Japanese beetles (the most common grub source in Minnesota) are well-established in the metro area, and larvae from neighboring properties can migrate to your lawn.

Will grub control harm my lawn?

No, grub control products are designed to target grubs specifically and won't harm your grass. In fact, eliminating grubs protects your lawn from significant root damage.
