Spring is in the air and now that youve begun leaving the house more often, you notice that your yard is looking a little spotty. While its not uncommon for the yard to look disheveled after thawing out from the winter cold, there could be some underlying reasons why the grass looks so bad.
For starters, if you notice that you have a mole problem every year; it could be because you also have a grub problem. Grubs love to eat the roots of your grass, thus causing dead patches of grass throughout your yard. An easy way to check for grubs is to pick a piece of yard and skim back the grass, roots and all. You may notice fat white worms squirming around. These are grubs. They make for some good fishing, by the way. Moles love to eat grubs, so one attracts the other and before you know it, you have three separate problemsdead grass, grubs and moles.
