Protect Your Lawn from the Damage You Can’t See

​

Grubs are one of the most destructive lawn pests in the Capital Region, and most homeowners don’t even know they have them—until it’s too late. Lawn Bugs offers professional grub control and prevention services in Albany, Latham, Clifton Park, Colonie, and surrounding areas to keep your lawn healthy, green, and protected year-round.

​

If you’ve ever noticed brown patches in late summer or turf that peels up like a carpet, you might already be dealing with a grub problem. Fortunately, it’s preventable—and we can help.

 

What Are Lawn Grubs?

​

Grubs are the larvae of beetles like Japanese beetles and June bugs. These small, white, C-shaped insects live underground and feed on the roots of your grass. A small grub population isn’t a problem—but once they multiply, they can cause major damage in a short amount of time.

​

Grubs are most active in late summer and early fall, which is when homeowners start to see dying patches of grass that don’t respond to watering or fertilizer. In some cases, you may even notice animals like skunks or raccoons tearing up your lawn to feed on them.

 

Why Grub Control Is So Important

​

By the time you see signs of grub damage, the root system of your lawn may already be compromised. That’s why we focus on preventative grub control, stopping grubs before they hatch.

​

Grub damage can lead to:

• Irregular brown patches that grow quickly

• Loose, spongy turf that lifts easily

• Increased weed growth in bare areas

• Animals digging in your yard

• Expensive reseeding or lawn replacement

​

Our professional treatments target grubs early in their life cycle to prevent root damage and stop the next generation from hatching.

 

What’s Included in Our Grub Control Program?

​

We offer both preventative grub control and curative treatments depending on the time of year and level of infestation.

​

Preventative Grub Treatment (Best Option):

• Applied in late spring to early summer, before grubs hatch

• Stops eggs from developing into root-damaging larvae

• Protects your lawn through the entire active season

• Ideal for all lawns, especially if you’ve had grub issues before

​

Curative Grub Treatment (As Needed):

• Applied in late summer or early fall when grubs are actively feeding

• Targets existing grubs and minimizes further damage

• May require reseeding if damage is already extensive

​

Preventative treatments are included in our full lawn care program, but we also offer standalone grub control services.

FAQs: Grub Control Services

​

Q: When is the best time to treat for grubs?
A: Late spring to early summer is ideal for prevention. If you already have visible damage, we can apply a curative treatment in late summer or fall.

Q: Will one treatment last the entire season?
A: Yes—preventative treatments offer season-long protection when timed correctly. We’ll monitor your lawn and adjust if needed.

Q: Can grub treatments damage my lawn?
A: No. We use safe, professionally applied products that protect your lawn without harming it. In fact, treatment will help prevent costly damage.

Q: Is grub treatment safe for pets and kids?
A: Yes. Once the treatment dries (usually within a couple of hours), your lawn is safe for foot traffic, pets, and play.

Q: Do I need grub control every year?
A: If you’ve had grub issues before, annual treatment is a smart investment. Preventative care costs far less than repairing grub damage later.

Q: Will this fix the brown patches I already have?
A: If your lawn is already damaged, we’ll apply grub control to stop further harm. We may also recommend overseeding or fertilization to help it recover.
