Grubs are the larvae of certain adult beetles, such as Japanese beetles or June bugs. They are white, c-shaped, and have brown heads and visible legs. Grubs live beneath the surface of the soil and feed on the roots of turfgrass, causing extensive damage to lawns. They are a common lawn pest and can be identified by an increase in animal activity, such as birds, possums, raccoons, or skunks, that tear up the turf in search of grubs. Grub control is important to prevent damage to lawns, and strategies include chemical insecticides, natural enemies, and preventive treatments.
