Grub worms

A sure sign that summer is here is June Bugs, but their larval stage can inflict a lot of damage to lawns. They are the ¾-1 inch long, C-shaped worms with a white body and brown heads you find in the top 3-4 inches of soil. Once mating takes place, the female June Bug lays eggs 2-5 inches deep in the soil and the BB-sized eggs hatch roughly 6 weeks later into the grub. The entire life cycle takes a full year to complete so grubs are not usually a problem in vegetable gardens or other areas tilled each year.
