Brown patches #874375

Asked June 24, 2024, 8:38 AM EDT

Something is causing brown spots in my lawn. Some of the grass blades have little orange blobs on them. Any ideas what is causing this and what I can do? Thank you

Thank you for writing.
Assuming that you do not have dogs, this is probably brown patch disease. https://www.thespruce.com/brown-patch-lawn-disease-2153086
It is not extensive enough to be grubs.
