Grubs follow a four-stage life cycle that dictates when they’re most destructive—and most treatable. Understanding this helps us deliver Vancouver BC pest control at the right moment.
Stage 1 – Egg (Late Spring to Summer)
From June to July, beetles lay eggs beneath your lawn. In Vancouver’s moist soil, these hatch in just two weeks, launching the infestation.
Stage 2 – Larval (Peak Damage Season)
By August, grubs emerge, feeding on grassroots through three instar phases. The third instar, in fall, is the hungriest—perfect for fall grub control services.
Pupal (Spring Transition)
In May to June, grubs cocoon underground, untouchable by pesticides. This is why early action beats waiting.
Stage 4 – Adult (Cycle Restart)
Early summer brings beetles, ready to lay more eggs. Our grub control Vancouver stops them before they multiply.
Best Time for Lawn Grub Treatment in Vancouver
Timing is critical for grub control services South Granville and beyond. The best time for grub treatment Vancouver is late summer to early fall (August to September), when grubs are young and vulnerable. Spring lawn pest treatment (April to May) works too, targeting grubs as they resume feeding, but early intervention prevents the worst damage. We assess your lawn to pinpoint the ideal window, ensuring effective grub removal Vancouver.
