Dear HomeAdditionPlus.com Website Visitor,

Well it’s May and time for many of us to begin focusing on the yard and garden. Besides putting down the fertilizer and crabgrass preventatives, it’s also a great time to treat your lawn for grubs and other insects.  A good way to tell if you have a grub or inspect problem occurring under your turf is to look for mole tracks running across your yard. Also, if you see birds picking continuously at the lawn it’s a good bet that you have a grub problem. Take a look at our article on "Eliminating moles and grubs" to learn more.
