Prevent and Treat Grub Worms Before Damage Becomes too Severe

A notorious and incredibly damaging pest that starts to show up this time of year is the white grub worm. These white, C-shaped grubs feed on the roots of your turfgrass which will quickly destroy your entire landscape. If your lawn is taking a little longer to green up, this may be an indication of a grub worm infestation.
