The Fall grub season is here!
This is just a quick reminder that the Fall grub season is here. White grubs damage lawns in both the Spring and Fall. Areas that look like they are starting to turn brown or just doesn't look right may have grubs. It is easy to check. Firmly grasp the turf with your hand and try to pull it back. If it easily pulls back you probably have grubs. Dig around in the areas that you just uncovered or in the roots of the turf you just pulled up. You will see little white grubs. Some may be smaller, some may be plump and juicy. Speaking of plump and juicy, skunks love grubs and will not hesitate to rip up your lawn by pulling back clumps of turf and snacking on the grubs.
Turn on the sprinklers!
I have been seeing a lot of dry lawns during my travels around West Michigan. A lot of us have turned our irrigation systems down or off since the weather has cooled off. Me included. So I guess this is just a reminder that your lawn may need a drink until we get significant rain fall.
Also, this is the perfect time to seed your lawn. If you do overseed, make sure to keep your irrigation running until it is time to turn it off in the Fall.
