Eliminate grubs and the risk of permanent damage with this all natural service.

One of the biggest pests plaguing Canadian lawns are grubs; a larvae (immature) beetle that feeds on the roots of your grass.

The most damaging local grub species is the European chafer. You may see this pest as an adult beetle flying around your home or trees at dusk in early summer, laying eggs within your lawn.  These eggs later hatch and feed on your lawn’s roots right through the fall. They spend the winter in your lawn, only to emerge as beetles again in the summer and continue the cycle.

A healthy lawn can resist minor grub infestations, however, when stressed by summer drought and rough winters, grub damage can become much more apparent. Infestations cause major damage requiring expensive and extensive lawn renovations.  Even the presence of few grubs can attract birds and animals, which will destroy your lawn in search of these ‘treats’.

Our all-natural fix involves the application of parasitic nematodes, which are microscopic worms that move through the soil and seek out grubs. Applied in late summer or early fall when young grubs are most vulnerable, the nematodes will release bacteria, which convert the grub to a food source, causing it to stop eating and die.  To get the most from this fast-acting treatment, we ask clients to water their lawn for at least three days following to allow nematodes to move through the soil.
