Sod webworm is a term describing several species of lawn-infesting caterpillars that live in the thatch level of the lawn and feed on the undersides of leaves and stems just above the crown. Turf grasses most susceptible to larval damage include fine fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, bentgrass, and buffalo grass.

The most common white grubs infesting lawns in Canada and one of the most difficult to control are the larval stages of the native June beetles or June bugs. They chew off the roots of turf grasses near the surface or just below the thatch layer, favouring the fibrous roots of farm and garden crops and potato tubers.

If you suspect you may have white grubs in your soil, you should inspect your soil to see if you have enough grubs in your soil to warrant control measures.
