Professional Lawn Insect Control Services
YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH
The sudden appearance of brown patches in a lawn is always cause for concern, but it's usually easy to uncover the root cause. Aside from lawn diseases, dead or dying grass is usually caused by an infestation of insects that feed on grass blades and roots. Our lawn insect control treatments help to irradicate infestations of chinch bugs, aphids, sod webworms, and other lawn pests. Contact a service agent today to find out how we can help you battle your lawn insect problem.

Preventing damaging insects from establishing a foothold in your lawn is vital to its overall health and appearance. These insects attack your turf and if left unchecked, they can often destroy your entire lawn in a short amount of time. We provide lawn care services designed to stop common lawn insects such as:
These larvae of the sod webworm moth hatch in late April or early May and begin to feed on the stems of your grass. Early signs of sod webworm damage in a lawn are small brown spots of scalped lawn similar to damage caused by mowing too low. If these worms continue to grow, those brown patches can spread across your entire lawn. Left untreated, the entire lawn may end up dying, especially when the damage is combined with heat stress in the summer. Sod webworm treatment is applied in the early spring to attack the larvae before they can cause damage to your cool-season grass.
Chinch bug lawn infestations commonly happen in June and July, the hottest part of the summer. These bugs feed on the grass by sucking the moisture from it, depriving the plant of needed water at the peak of summer heat. Chinch bug damage presents as dry brown patches in the grass that appear underwatered. Without prompt and proper insect control, a chinch bug infestation will destroy your entire lawn in less than a month. Our effective chinch bug treatments will quickly eliminate this threat and limit any damage to your lawn.
In typical small numbers, aphids aren't a concern for a lawn. However, when their numbers explode, they can cause major damage to your lawn. These small insects secrete a substance called honeydew and in large amounts, this causes mold in lawns. Aside from mold, aphids in high numbers can also cause severe yellowing of grass blades and stunt growth. Applying a treatment for aphids will prevent this damage and keep their population in check.

Grubs
White lawn grubs are capable of causing intense damage to your lawn’s grass. Signs of grubs in your lawn are brown patches of turf that can easily be lifted from the soil. Grub damage to lawns is caused by the grubs consuming the grass roots, killing the grass. As these Japanese beetle larvae mature into adults, swarm and damage ornamental plants and trees in the area. Effective lawn grub control is applied from late May to early August.
