Protect Your Lawn from Grubs
Hometurf is your local expert in lawn care. We are committed to keeping your lawn healthy and vibrant. To safeguard your outdoor space, we offer a range of solutions, including targeted grub control. Grubs and beetles thrive by eating BTG protein crystals deep within the root zone. The BTG active ingredient, Crystal insecticidal protein, is formulated into our natural Grub Control product, which activates inside the insect target when ingested. The insects will stop feeding, become inactive, and then the grubs will be gone!
The lifecycle of grubs, the larvae of various beetles, typically involves four stages:
- Egg: Adult beetles lay their eggs in the soil during late spring or early summer. These eggs hatch within a few weeks.
- Larva (Grub): The newly hatched grubs are small, white, and C-shaped. They feed on the roots of grass and damage the lawn. Depending on the species, this stage is the most destructive and can last several weeks to months.
- Pupa: As the grub matures, it transforms into a pupa, a non-feeding stage where it undergoes metamorphosis. This stage lasts for a few weeks.
- Adult Beetle: The adult beetle emerges from the pupal case. Common adult beetles that produce grubs include Japanese, European chafers, and June bugs. Adult beetles do not cause damage to lawns; they lay eggs and start the cycle anew.
The entire lifecycle of a grub can take one year or more, depending on the species and environmental conditions. Understanding the lifecycle of grubs helps in effectively timing control measures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Maintain a healthy lawn: A healthy lawn can better resist grub damage. Proper fertilization and watering are crucial. A preventive insecticide treatment can help protect your lawn.
The best time to treat for grubs is in late spring or early summer. This is when adult beetles lay their eggs, and the larvae (grubs) are tiny and newly hatched. Preventative treatments, like insecticides containing imidacloprid or chlorantraniliprole, target these young grubs before they begin causing damage.
The effectiveness of a grub control treatment can vary depending on factors such as the product used, the severity of the infestation, and weather conditions. Typically, a single treatment can protect for several months.
