What is the difference between surface insects and grubs?
A. Most lawn damaging insects are surface dwellers. They feed in the upper areas of the grass plant. Subsurface insects, such as grubs, feed in the root zone. It takes a special, stronger material to control them. It’s important to keep in mind that not all insects are damaging to your lawn. Some are beneficial by praying on the damaging ones. Also remember, damaging insects are always in the lawn and control measures may not be necessary until their population per square foot surpasses a threshold.
