Description of Grubs, White (Phyllophaga):
White grubs are the larvae of June beetles, Billbugs, Japanese Beetles, Black Turfgrass Ataenius, Oriental Beetles, European Chafers, Northern Masked Chafers, and Southern Masked Chafers. They are one of the most destructive pests you can have in the lawn. The damage they do to roots reduces the ability for the turf to take up nutrients and water, causing stress when the heat of summer arrives.
Their damage is most evident during August and September. The grass will be gradually thinning, yellowing, and weakening. The brown patches should pull up easily... if they don't, then it may be a sign of another problem such as dog urine, localized dry spot, a rock under the surface, disease, or fertilizer burn.
