Up to two treatments per year

Many lawns only need one well-timed grub application. A second round is available when conditions call for it.

Round 1
Primary Grub Treatment
A seasonal application designed to help protect turf during the main grub activity window.
Round 2
Optional
Follow-Up (as needed)
A second round may be recommended based on signs of active damage.
Signs you may have grubs
  • Irregular brown patches that worsen even with watering
  • Turf that feels spongy or lifts easily like a carpet
  • Increased animal digging (skunks, raccoons, birds)
  • Grubs visible in the soil when you peel back turf
What to expect
  • Grub population can vary year to year; treatment timing matters.
  • Grub damaged lawns will benefit from overseeding or renovation in fall.

FAQ

Do I need one or two grub treatments?
Many lawns do well with one well-timed treatment. A second round is used when population is high, timing is late, or there are signs of active damage.
When is grub season?
The highest-risk period is typically late summer into early fall when larvae feed on turf roots.
Will grub control stop animals from digging?
Reducing grubs can help over time, but animals may continue digging if they’re used to feeding in the area or if other insects are present.
Do I need to water after treatment?
Yes—watering helps move the product into the soil where grubs live. We’ll leave exact watering instructions after each visit.
Not sure if it’s grubs?

If you’re seeing brown patches or animal digging, we can evaluate and recommend the right approach.
