HOWELL, Mich. - Michimich -- Have you noticed brown patches appearing in your lawn during late summer?

Are birds, skunks, or raccoons digging up sections of your yard?

If so, grubs could be the culprit, and July is one of the most important months to protect your lawn from them.

Many Michigan homeowners focus on fertilization and weed control during the summer, but grub prevention is just as important. These underground pests can destroy healthy turf by feeding on grassroots, leaving behind thinning grass, dead patches, and costly lawn repairs.

What Are Grubs?

Grubs are the larvae of several types of beetles, including Japanese beetles, June beetles, and European chafers. They live beneath the soil surface and feed on the roots of your grass.

While adult beetles may seem harmless, their larvae can cause extensive damage. As grubs feed on the root system, your lawn loses its ability to absorb water and nutrients. The result is weakened turf that struggles to survive summer heat and drought conditions.

Why July Matters

July is the ideal time for grub control in Michigan because it aligns with the grub life cycle.

Adult beetles begin laying eggs in early summer, and those eggs typically hatch in July. Once the young grubs emerge, they immediately start feeding on grassroots. Preventive treatments applied during this period can stop grubs before they become large enough to cause serious damage.

Waiting until late summer or fall often means the grubs have already spent weeks feeding beneath your lawn. By then, significant root damage may have occurred, making recovery more difficult and expensive.

Once grubs have severely damaged a lawn, repair efforts can involve overseeding, patching, or even replacing sections of turf. Preventive grub control is often far more cost-effective than correcting extensive damage later.
