Grubs...coming soon!

 Last year was one of the most devastating years for grubs in recent memory throughout Montgomery County.  Lawns in Collegeville that typically never had a grub issue, we're literally destroyed in a matter of weeks.  From Willow Grove to Phoenixville, the grub activity was abundant!

Grubs are the larva of several types of beetles that enjoy feeding on the roots of you lawn's grass roots.  Throughout the summer, they mature and continue their underground feeding. Applying a preventative is the ideal approach to controlling these pests.  While most stores carry grub preventatives, the most effective products are available through licensed lawn care providers.  They understand proper timing, rates to apply of these products to ensure the product will work as promised.
