Grub Control in Tracy and Mountain House, CA
Protect Your Lawn From Grub Damage
Grubs are the immature stage of certain beetles. They live just below the surface and feed on grass roots, which can leave a lawn thin, weak, and less able to take up water and nutrients. At Lawn & Yard Solutions, we help Tracy and Mountain House homeowners find out whether grubs are the real problem, and we treat them when they are.

Signs Your Lawn May Have Grubs
- Brown or thinning patches that don’t improve with proper watering
- Grass that pulls up easily because its roots have been damaged
- Areas of turf that feel unusually soft or spongy
- Birds or other animals digging in the lawn for insects
Grubs are C-shaped, cream-colored larvae with a brown head, found in the soil just below the grass.
Not every brown patch is caused by grubs. Irrigation problems, disease, and heat stress can look the same, so it’s important to know the cause before treating. If your sprinklers are the problem, our sprinkler and irrigation repair service can help. For more on summer lawn problems, see our July lawn care tips.
When to Watch for Grubs
Grub activity may begin during summer, but significant damage often becomes more noticeable in late summer or early fall. Checking your lawn early gives you more options and helps the grass recover.
Our Grub Control Approach
We start by checking the lawn, the soil, and your sprinkler coverage, because the right fix depends on what is actually causing the damage. When grubs are the cause, we recommend a preventive or curative treatment to match the situation and the time of year.
