The Enemy Below

Have you noticed those pesky, metallic green beetles munching on your prized roses or devouring your beloved plants? If so, you're likely dealing with the dreaded Japanese beetle. While these adult beetles can cause significant damage to foliage, it's their offspring that pose the real threat to your lawn.

From Beetle to Grub

The life cycle of a Japanese beetle begins with an adult female laying her eggs in the soil, typically in grassy areas like your lawn. These eggs hatch into small, white grubs that spend their time feasting on the roots of your grass. As they grow, these grubs become larger and cause increasing damage to your lawn.

The Grub's Greedy Appetite

Grubs are voracious eaters, and their feeding habits can wreak havoc on your lawn. As they munch on the grass roots, the lawn weakens, turning brown and patchy. In severe infestations, large areas of your lawn can be completely destroyed. Additionally, grubs attract other pests like skunks and raccoons, who dig up your lawn in search of a tasty meal.
