White Grub

About White Grub

White grubs are the creamy-white larvae of beetles that feed on grassroots, causing brown patches and weakened turf in lawns throughout Middle Tennessee, including Columbia and Franklin. These C-shaped larvae damage Kentucky bluegrass and fescue by disrupting the root system, leading to turf that pulls up easily. Early detection and treatment are essential to prevent extensive lawn damage.

White Grub is a turf pest commonly found in Middle Tennessee, including Columbia, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and the surrounding areas. This entry is part of our Turf Pests identification guide.

As lawn care and treatment specialists, we encounter White Grub regularly when servicing properties across the region. Proper identification is the first step toward effective pest management that protects both your turf and your landscape plantings.
