Yes, I know that's not really how the song goes. It's "law" and not "lawn," but in our case, "lawn" is totally appropriate. We've got lawn issues at our house and it ain't lookin' pretty. We'd been noticing that hunks of grass were being pulled up as if someone or something was digging up small sections of the yard. This was occurring overnight because we'd never seen anything in the yard during the day. As it turns out, we have grubs, at least according to the experts who are supposed to be taking care of this lawn. This isn't our house, nor our lawn, seeing as how we're living in a rental. These geniuses told us that other animals like birds, raccoons and such come out at night and feed off of the grubs, which is why our yard looks like ----.
These lawn experts supposedly came and treated for grubs. We then re-seeded and fertilized and now we have a nice, new patch of grass to replace the dead, barren area in our yard. What we're now noticing are other patches of grass that appear to be affected by grubs. Did those people not treat the entire yard when they were here? What is the deal? And if those woodland creatures are feeding off the grubs, why are the grubs still here and seemingly spreading throughout the yard now?
I keep thinking of that Kevin Bacon and Reba McEntire movie called "Tremors" and I get the willies. Yikes! I know these grubs are just little bitty things, but at the rate these things are eating our yard, they've got to be growing. Wonder what the neighbors are thinking?
