Minimally lawn pests can quickly put an end to an otherwise enjoyable picnic, but in the worst scenario they can kill your entire lawn. Fortunately, your neighborhood lawn care professional has a solution. Our environmentally friendly lawn pest control programs allow you to take your lawn back. There are two types of insects we control: pests that inhabit your lawn but do not cause damage, and pests that can cause lawn damage.
Many lawn insects and insect-like pests can devastate yards and lawns. These unwanted pests can turn lawns brown, cause grass patches and/or kill the turf. Other insects live in turf, but do not cause damage.
Pests that live in your lawn, but don’t harm the turf often attract other pests that attack and feed on homeowners. Any way you slice it, they all need to be eradicated! Your 1-800-LAWN-CARE technician has the lawn pest control products to eliminate lawn infestations while being a good steward to the environment. Pests that infest soil and roots include: white grubs, ants, mole crickets, wireworm, cicada-killer wasp, wild bees, periodical cicada, billbugs, and earthworms. Pests that feed on leaves and stems include: sod webworms, armyworms, cutworms, billbugs, grasshoppers, fruit fly. Pests that suck plant juice include: chinch bugs, false chinch bug, leafhoppers, mites, spittlebugs.
