When it comes to lawn health, grub control is the unsung hero of late spring maintenance.

If you want a lush, green lawn this summer, grubs are an underground threat you can’t afford to ignore. These small, white larvae may seem harmless, but don’t let their size fool you. In late summer and early fall, they feast on the roots of grass, causing long-term damage that can take months to fix. Fortunately, there’s a way to stop them before they start.
