Fun Fact Friday – White Grubs

• White Grubs appear as fat white “worm-like” larvae.
• White Grubs have many life cycles throughout the year.
• White Grubs are hatched from eggs that are laid in the soil.
• In the spring grubs awaken from winter and begin feeding.
• White Grubs are immature beetles that like to feed on grass roots, causing extensive damage to the root systems.
• In the summer pupae turn into beetles, including Japanese Beetles, which emerge to feed on garden foliage and flowers. Beetles lay eggs in the lawn soon after.
• In the fall eggs hatch into new grubs which feed on the grass roots, thereby destroying your lawn. The destructive cycle begins all over again.
• It is impossible to see white grubs on the surface since they exist below the blades of grass in the root zone.
