What is Grub Control and how much does it cost?



As homeowners, we all dream of having a lush, green lawn that becomes the envy of the neighborhood. However, achieving and maintaining that dream requires more than just regular mowing and watering.


One of the common yet overlooked threats to a beautiful lawn is grubs—those pesky, lawn-damaging pests that can turn your green paradise into a brown, patchy nightmare. At Marshall Lawn Solutions, we understand the stress and frustration that grubs can cause. That's why we're committed to providing exceptional grub control services as part of our comprehensive 8-visit program. But what exactly is grub control, and how much does it usually cost?


Let's dive in.

What is Grub Control?

Grub control refers to the methods and treatments used to prevent and manage lawn grubs, which are the larvae of various beetles, such as Japanese beetles and June bugs. These grubs reside in the soil and feed on grassroots, causing significant damage to your lawn. If left untreated, a grub infestation can result in large dead patches, making your lawn more susceptible to other pests and diseases.


Why is Grub Control Important?


Grub control is crucial for maintaining a healthy, vibrant lawn. Here are some reasons why:

  1. Prevention of Lawn Damage: Grubs feed on grassroots, weakening the lawn and making it more prone to brown patches and other damage.

  2. Deterrence of Animal Activity: Animals like raccoons and skunks often dig up lawns to feed on grubs, causing further damage. Grub control can help reduce populations of grubs but cannot completely prevent damage from animals or control animals.

  3. Healthier Turf: Effective grub control promotes stronger, healthier grass that can better withstand environmental stresses and diseases.


Cost of Grub Control

With Marshall Lawn Solutions, grub control is included*.


Other service providers may charge as much as $175 for treating a 5,000 sq ft lawn. That can add up to an additional $350 a year! These costs can add up, particularly if multiple treatments are required throughout the year.


Marshall Lawn Solutions' Approach

At Marshall Lawn Solutions, we believe in offering premium services that deliver exceptional results. As part of our 8-visit program, we include two specially timed grub control treatments at no extra charge*. Unlike other providers who may tack on additional fees, we ensure that our comprehensive program covers all the essentials for a healthy, grub-free lawn. We use only high-quality products and the best treatment plans, tailored to the unique needs of lawns in Central Texas.


What if I am a new customer starting in the fall with an infestation and have missed the grub control window for the year?

Grub control is performed in early to late summer, when larva is most vulnerable. If there is no evidence of grub damage, we follow integrated pest control (IPM) practices and will not apply our standard grub control as it will not kill on mature grubs.


*If you have an infestation of grubs damaging your lawn after the grub control application timeframe, we offer an additional service for a fee and can apply a treatment specifically designed for treating mature grubs. There is an additional cost for this service and is based on the square footage of your lawn.
