Wait: Some Grubs Are Okay
As you inspect your lawn to identify that grubs are present, it’s important to know that a healthy lawn can easily support some grubs without the need for any type of treatment.
To determine the extent of the infestation, dig and lift several sections of sod the size of one square foot by approximately three inches deep. Then follow the guidelines in the table below.
