Professional Grub Worm Treatment for South Florida Lawns
Grubs are among the most destructive lawn pests in South Florida and among the hardest to detect
until significant damage has already occurred. These white, C-shaped beetle
larvae live beneath the soil surface, feeding on the roots of your grass. By the
time you notice the brown patches, the root system underneath has already been
severed, and the turf is effectively dead. Worse, the grubs attract digging
animals like raccoons and armadillos that tear up the lawn to reach them,
compounding the damage.
At Royal Pest & Termite, our grub control service offers both preventive treatments to stop grubs before they hatch and curative treatments to eliminate active grub infestations.
How to Tell If You Have Grubs
Brown Patches
Grub-damaged grass turns brown because the root system has been eaten away. Unlike drought stress (which recovers when you water), grub-damaged turf stays brown no matter how much you irrigate because there are no roots left to absorb the water.
Turf That Peels Up
This is the signature sign of a grub infestation. If you can grab a section of brown grass and pull it up easily, or roll it back like a carpet with almost no resistance, the roots have been severed by grubs.
Spongy, Soft Turf Underfoot
Before the grass turns completely brown, you may notice that certain areas of your lawn feel spongy or soft when you walk on them.
Animals Digging in Your Yard
C-Shaped Larvae in the Soil
Increased Beetle Activity
Adult beetles flying around your outdoor lights in spring and summer may be laying eggs in your lawn.
How Our Grub Treatment Works
From your first call to ongoing protection, here's what to expect when you partner with Royal Pest & Termite.
Best Time to Treat for Grubs in South Florida
Preventive Treatment (April-June): Apply preventive treatment in late spring to early summer when beetles lay eggs and grubs begin hatching. Treating early places the product in the soil before grubs start feeding, targeting them while they are smallest and easiest to control.
Curative Treatment (When Damage Appears): Apply curative treatment as soon as grub damage appears, such as brown patches, spongy turf, or animals digging. These treatments work best on younger grubs near the surface, before they grow larger and move deeper into the soil.
Annual Prevention (For At-Risk Lawns): Lawns with past grub problems often see repeat infestations each year as beetles return to lay eggs. Annual preventive treatment helps protect the lawn before grubs develop and is the most reliable way to avoid future damage.

Grub Control FAQs
How do I get rid of grubs in my lawn?
The most effective approach is professional grub treatment. Preventive insecticide applied in late spring to early summer targets grubs before they cause damage. If grubs are already active and your lawn is showing damage, curative treatment eliminates the current population. DIY grub products can work but are often applied at the wrong time or at insufficient rates.
