What Are Lawn Grubs?
Grubs are the larval stage of scarab beetles, including masked chafers, May/June beetles, and the black turfgrass Ataenius — all common in Logan, Utah. These C-shaped larvae live just beneath the soil surface, silently chewing through your turf’s roots.
By the time brown patches appear, significant root damage may have already occurred. Early detection and timely treatment can save your lawn from expensive repairs.

When to Treat Grubs
Timing is everything. Preventive treatments are best applied from mid-June to early July. Curative treatments work best in late summer to early fall when grubs are young and actively feeding. In spring, treatments can still help if damage is discovered early.
