Grub & Insect Control in Lakeside
The first sign of grubs in Lakeside is usually a patch of lawn you can roll back like a loose rug. White grubs feed on the roots just under the surface, so the grass dies from the bottom up and lifts free because nothing is holding it down. The sunny open lots between the lake and Route 9 take the worst of it, since adult beetles favor those for laying eggs.
Catching It at the Right Time
Timing beats brute force with grubs. A preventive application in early summer reaches the young grubs while they are small and near the surface, which is when control is easiest and the rate stays low. Wait until you see fall damage and you are treating tougher, larger grubs and racing the calendar. We also watch for the skunks and birds that tear up turf hunting grubs, since that digging often shows before the dead patches do. As a licensed applicator we follow label rates.
Grub damage opens bare ground that weeds and disease move into, so recovery usually pairs with aeration and overseeding and lawn disease control. Full details on the grub and insect control page and the Lakeside hub.
