Problem: White grubs hatch from the eggs of various types of beetles such as Japanese beetles.  They live underground and feed on grass roots depriving the plants of water and nutrients. 
White grub damage appears as thinning and browning sections of turf which will usually show up in late summer or fall.  Often the turf can be rolled up like a carpet because most of the roots have been severed.  A few grubs in the lawn may not cause significant damage, however large numbers in concentrated areas can kill the turf grass. 

Some signs of a potential grub problem are:
•    discoloration of turf
•    The presence of skunks, raccoons, moles or flocks of birds.  Animals can cause extensive damage to the lawn feeding on grubs.
•    Turf feels loose or spongy when walking on it.
