Indication of Damage to Lawns
European crane fly larvae often cause
damage by feeding on grass roots and
disrupting the soil surface.
Mole crickets often cause extensive damage
by tunneling through lawns. Some species also
feed on roots. Tunneling uproots the grass so
it easily dries out. Lawns turn yellow, become
thin, weedy and can eventually die.
White grubs cause extensive damage to
lawns by feeding on grass roots. Grass turns
yellow, then brown and dies. Grubs chew off
roots so that the grass is easily pulled up in
pieces in your hands. You can roll it back like a
carpet to reveal the grubs. If patches of dead
grass appeared in your lawn late last summer,
check for grubs.
