What is a Grub Worm?
The grub worm is not exactly a worm, like your friend, the earthworm. Grub worms are basically beetle larvae, or the babies of those beetles. Unlike earthworms that fertilize your soil to make your plants and flowers healthy, grub worms ruin them by munching on the roots of your plants, flowers, and grass in your lawn or garden. A healthy lawn can handle a few grub worms in the soil and will do little or almost no apparent damage. After the eggs of the beetle hatch and turn into larvae, they tunnel underground and start eating roots they see. However, when there are more than 15 to 20 grub worms per square foot in your garden, then that is a real problem. You surely will notice that you have a grub worm problem when the condition of your lawn or garden radically deteriorates.
