Common Lawn and Yard Pests in Central California
Many lawn pests go unnoticed until your grass starts to die or your soil becomes loose and unhealthy. Here are the most common culprits:
- Grubs (larvae of beetles): Feed on grass roots and cause brown patches.
- Chinch Bugs: Suck nutrients from grass blades and thrive in hot, dry areas.
- Armyworms & Cutworms: Chew through grass and leave visible trails.
- Billbugs: Damage turf by boring into grass stems.
- Moles, Voles & Gophers: Dig tunnels and uproot lawns from below.
Each pest has its own method of destruction. Early identification is key to stopping the damage before it spreads.
Signs You May Have a Lawn Pest Problem
- Brown or yellow patches in your lawn
- Grass that feels spongy or lifts easily
- Burrow holes or small mounds of soil
- Chewed grass blades or shredded leaves
- Increased activity from birds or rodents
If you notice any of these, it’s time for a professional lawn pest inspection.
