Grub Worms |

|
Grub worms feed on
the roots of your grass. The damage can be fatal to your turf. Grubs feed on virtually all
types of turf grasses. Normally there are not enough of them present in one area of the
lawn to show noticeable damage, but heavy damage can occur if 10-15 grubs feed within a
small area. Grubs are normally deep in the soil, and come up to feed only certain times of
the year.Armyworms |
| Armyworms feed on the stems and leaves of turfgrasses. Damage most commonly occurs on bermuda or zoysia lawns during the late spring through the late summer. Armyworms feed mostly at night. Their damage is best described as wide spread browning of the turf; almost like the lawn is going into dormancy in the middle of the summer. Unlike grub damage, the damage caused by armyworms can typically be repaired. If armyworms are present you can normally find them if you search in the thatch layer right at the soil level. |  |
