Grub & Insect Control, in practice
Brown patches are not automatically grubs. Fungal disease, drought stress, dog urine and grub damage all look broadly similar from standing height, and treating for the wrong one wastes a season.
The test is simple: lift a square foot of turf. If it rolls back like carpet and there are more than five or six grubs underneath, treatment is warranted. Below that, the lawn will out-grow them.
Timing is everything with grubs. Preventive treatment works against young larvae in early summer; the same product against large late-season grubs does very little.
Armyworms move fast enough to strip a lawn in days, so that one is genuinely urgent when it appears — and it appears in Middle Tennessee most years.

If one weed keeps coming back through every treatment, it is probably one of these two. Neither responds to what works on everything else.

FAQ
Grub & Insect Control — questions
When should grubs be treated?
Preventively in early summer, when the beetles have laid and the larvae are small — the products that work then do very little against large grubs in autumn. A lawn with a history of grub damage is treated on that schedule; one without is checked in late summer by lifting turf, and treated only if the count justifies it. Treating every lawn every year regardless is selling a product.
What are armyworms and why are they an emergency?
Caterpillars that arrive in late summer, often in numbers, and strip a lawn in days — a green lawn on Friday can be brown by Monday. They are common in Middle Tennessee most years. They are treated as soon as they are found, and a lawn that is being watched in August is one where they are caught early. Bermuda usually recovers; fescue is hit harder.
