The problem

By the Time You See Damage, Insects Have Been Feeding for Weeks

Most lawn-damaging insects do their worst underground or at the soil surface, out of sight. What you see is the aftermath: brown patches that don't respond to watering, turf that peels up like carpet, or grass that thins out overnight.

Middle Georgia's warm climate and long growing season make it prime territory for grubs, armyworms, and other pests. Without preventive treatment, it's a matter of when, not if.

What we control

Lawn Insects Common in Middle Georgia

Grubs (White Grubs)High Risk

Grubs (White Grubs)

Beetle larvae that live in the soil and feed on grass roots. Brown patches that peel up easily. Most active in late summer and fall.

ArmywormsCritical

Armyworms

Surface-feeding caterpillars that can strip a lawn bare in days. Ragged, chewed grass blades and fast-spreading brown areas. Most destructive in late summer.

Chinch BugsModerate

Chinch Bugs

Small insects that suck moisture from grass blades and inject a toxin. They love hot, dry conditions. Damage looks like drought stress but doesn’t improve with watering.

Mole CricketsModerate

Mole Crickets

Burrowing insects that damage turf from below by tunneling through the root zone. They push up soil and create soft, spongy areas. Most active at night.

Fire AntsHigh Risk

Fire Ants

Fire ant mounds create hazards for your family and damage your yard’s appearance. We treat active mounds and the surrounding area to reduce colonies.

Our approach

How We Protect Your Lawn from Insects

01

Preventive Applications

The most effective insect control happens before damage occurs. We apply treatments at the right time to create a barrier that stops pests before they reach damaging levels.

02

Curative Treatments

If insects are already causing damage, we apply targeted treatments to eliminate the active population quickly. The faster we treat, the less turf you lose.

03

Ongoing Monitoring

Your lawn gets checked during every visit. If we spot signs of insect activity, we address it during the treatment.

Common questions

Lawn Insect Control FAQ

How do I know if I have grubs?

Pull on a brown patch of grass. If it lifts up easily like a rug, grubs have likely eaten the roots. Increased bird or armadillo activity in your yard is another sign.

When should I start preventive insect control?

Preventive grub treatments work best when applied in early to mid-summer, before eggs hatch. Armyworm prevention is most critical in late summer. We time all applications based on local pest cycles.

Are the treatments safe for my pets?

Yes. Every product we use is safe for kids and pets once dry, usually about 30 minutes.

Can my lawn recover from insect damage?

In most cases, yes. Warm-season grasses like Bermuda are resilient. With proper treatment, fertilization, and time, damaged areas fill back in.

How much does insect control cost?

Most lawns start at $39/month. Pricing depends on your lawn’s size and condition. Flat monthly pricing with no hidden fees or contracts. Request a quote for your exact price.
