Signs of a Lawn Pest Infestation

If your lawn in Columbia, SC is showing signs of damage, pests could be the culprit. From dead patches to thinning grass, identifying these warning signs early can save your lawn from further harm. Below is a list of common indicators that you may need professional lawn pest control services.

7 signs of a lawn pest infestation:

• Dead or dying patches of grass: This can be a sign of pests like grubs or chinch bugs feeding on the roots, weakening the grass and causing it to wither.
• Dirt mounds: Moles or gophers often create dirt mounds while tunneling underground, which disrupts the soil and damages the grass.
• Burrows in the ground: Rodents or insects may create burrows, which can disturb root systems and lead to uneven, unhealthy patches of grass.
• Strips of dead or dying grass: Armyworms or other insects often feed in patterns, leaving strips or streaks of dead grass across your lawn.
• Spongy grass: An infestation of pests like grubs can loosen the soil beneath the grass, creating a soft, spongy feel when walked on.
• Grass that is easy to pull up: When pests like grubs feed on the grass roots, it weakens the plant's hold on the soil, making it easy to pull up.
• Holes in the ground: Small holes can indicate insect larvae, such as cicadas or beetles, emerging from the soil or larger pests like voles and moles tunneling.
