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.
A few grubs in the soil are normal and your grass should be healthy enough to withstand a few grubs feeding on the roots, but more than that can definitely warrant corrective action.
