Lawns in Colorado are no stranger to grubs and the extensive damage they can cause. Fortunately, you can protect your grass from grubs this year by investing in preventative grub control! This grub control treatment is applied in late spring to early summer and will target newly hatched grubs before they start feeding on the roots. It is an effective way to protect your lawn from grub damage because it targets these pests when they are still defenseless and unable to cause problems. Investing in a preventative treatment is better than risking an infestation, which will require you to do a curative treatment. A curative treatment can only eliminate existing grubs on your lawn, but it cannot undo any damage to your turf.

How does preventative grub control work?

Preventative grub control is a treatment designed to target grubs before they can do any harm to your lawn. Upon applying it to your turf, it'll absorb into the soil and establish in the root zone where grubs feed. Then, it will eliminate newly hatched grubs as they come up to feed on the roots of your grass to keep them from severely damaging your lawn. This is the most efficient and effective way to deal with these destructive pests and protect your lawn from grubs because it ensures no damage is done in the first place.

When is the best time to apply a preventative grub control treatment?

Timing is everything when it comes to preventative grub control. The best time to apply preventative grub control treatments is in late spring to early summer. Applying it during this time gives the treatment enough time to sink into the soil and reach the area where grubs are found. This way, it will work just in time when the eggs hatch around mid-to-late summer.

When you apply preventative grub control too early, it may lose its effectiveness by the time the eggs hatch, making it futile. However, applying it too late is also a problem because the grubs will be too mature for the preventative treatment to work against them!

It's best to hire professionals to apply a preventative grub control treatment to your lawn because they'll know when to administer it to ensure it works effectively.

Don't Skip Out on Preventative Grub Control & Risk Having to Do a Curative Treatment

Grubs are pests you never want to underestimate because they can cause extensive damage to your grass when left to their own devices. When you skip out on preventative grub control, grubs will mature and destroy the roots of your lawn. The health and beauty of your turf will be severely impacted when they infest because they will sever it from its lifeline, disabling it from absorbing the nutrients it needs to grow. When this happens, you'll have to administer a curative grub control treatment, which is designed to target existing grubs already feeding on your lawn's roots.

While a curative treatment will stop grubs in their tracks and keep them from wreaking more havoc, it cannot reverse any damage these lawn pests have already caused. Then, you'll have to invest in lawn care services like fertilization, aeration, and overseeding to help your lawn recover. By taking advantage of a preventative treatment, you can prevent damage and save the time and money it takes to nurse your grass back to health.
