Grub season is upon us in Illinois. These tiny pests are capable of inflicting a lot of damage to your lawn if left alone. When they hatch, they will start feeding on the roots of your grass and can cause serious damage to your lawn. The best way to deal with grubs when faced with an infestation is with a curative treatment. This will get rid of them for you, but unfortunately, it won’t undo the damage they’ve already done. To restore your lawn to its lush and vibrant state, you’ll need to invest in various lawn services to nurse it back to health. And if you want to keep your lawn safe from grubs in the future, it’s best to schedule a preventative grub treatment next year to stop them from doing any damage in the first place.
Schedule a curative treatment to deal with a grub infestation.
When faced with a grub infestation, the best thing you can do is to schedule a curative grub control treatment to eliminate the infestation. As soon as you notice any signs of grubs on your lawn, you’ll want to schedule a curative treatment right away. That’s because the sooner the treatment is applied, the sooner you can stop them from causing damage to your lawn.
Signs of grub damage include a spongy lawn, brown patches, and increased animal activity on your lawn.

Invest in lawn care services to help your lawn recover after a grub infestation.
A grub infestation can cause extensive damage to your lawn if left alone, and while curative grub control will eliminate the grubs for you, it will not deal with the damage they left behind. To help your lawn along the road to recovery, you’ll want to invest in additional lawn care services. You should schedule an aeration service to provide pathways for nutrients and other resources to reach the roots of your grass so that your grass can grow stronger, as well as an overseeding service to fill in any bare or patchy areas of your lawn. You should also schedule a fertilization treatment to give your lawn some extra nutrients so that it can recover and start growing again. By utilizing these different services, you can restore your lawn to its pristine condition!
Schedule a preventative treatment next year to prevent a grub infestation.
If you end up dealing with a grub infestation this year, then you should schedule a preventative grub control treatment next year. Preventative grub control is the best way to deal with grubs because it stops them before they have the chance to do any damage to your lawn in the first place. You need to ensure that the preventative grub control is applied in the spring before any eggs hatch, and it will either target the eggs themselves or the newly hatched larvae before they can do any damage. Not only will this save you from the headache of dealing with grubs next year, but it can also save you money on additional lawn care services needed to nurse your lawn back to health!
