Grubs are the larval stage of hundreds of kinds of
beetles including June or Japanese beetles.    

White grubs live in the top few inches of soil and
feed on the roots of lawn grasses. They feed on the
roots of the grass so the blades can easily be pulled
up.  White grubs are typically .5 to 1.5" long, milky
white with a brown head and almost always are
curled into a "C" shape.  Adult grubs can cause
damage not only to the lawn but also roses, trees
and other plants around your yard.  In addition,
birds, moles, and skunks feed on grubs and can
cause additional damage to the lawn.

White grubs are one of America’s most notorious lawn pests.  Primarily found in
areas east of the Rocky Mountains and particularly troublesome in the northeastern
United States, these tiny pests can cause severe damage and even ruin an entire
lawn.  In fact, damage has become such a concern, consumers now spend more than
$100 million annually to control white grubs in the U.S. The key however, is early
prevention and early Spring is a prime time to begin preparing your plan of defense.
