One of the most unpleasant discoveries you can make when it comes to your Florida landscape is the presence of grub worms. Found in many vegetable gardens, grub worms are an unattractive pest most people would love to get rid of as quickly as possible. What are grub worms, what can they do to your greenery and how do you get rid of them?
Grub worms are not worms at all, but rather the larvae — or early stage — of Japanese Beetles. When they grow up to become Japanese Beetles, they will be much less of a problem to your landscape — except, of course, when they lay eggs that become more grub worms. If you wish to protect your garden, it is best not to let them get to that stage.
A grub worm is a tiny, soft C-shaped, whitish creature with legs near its head. In many ways, it looks and moves like an actual worm. If you have a grub worm problem, you’re likely to find a dozen or more milling about around your grass or the plants of your garden.
The main thing grub worms do is eat. Once you have grub worms, they will go right to work eating away at the roots of your grasses and plants, leaving you with droopy-leaved plants, brown patches of lawn, spongy ground and dead plants. Existing grub worms can destroy large portions of your yard or garden. If they mature, the adult beetles will lay eggs that turn into more grub worms that will likely do even more damage the next time around.
