Grub Control in Michigan
Larvae from European Chafer and Japanese Beetle can be a problem in turf in Michigan. As with any pest scouting, it is an important step in determining the true cause of a problem. A healthy lawn can support a grub population of five or more grubs per square foot with no visible damage. That would be 50+ grubs per roll of sod. A high grub population can cause primary damage to turf by feeding on roots, and also secondary damage from animals digging and feeding on the grubs.
