The Insects That Eat Your Lawn, Not the Ones That Bite You
This program covers the insects that feed on the grass itself. If your problem is mosquitoes, fleas or ticks, that is a different service and it lives on our Mosquito, Flea & Tick Control page.
Lawn insects are mostly invisible until the damage is done. Grubs feed on roots under the soil, and armyworms can strip a lawn in two or three days in late summer. We identify what is actually feeding before we treat, so you are not paying for an application aimed at the wrong insect.
Lawn browning out fast? Read our armyworm identification guide before you do anything else. There is a five-minute test you can run yourself.
What Grub & Lawn Insect Control Covers
Grubs do their damage underground, weeks before the lawn shows it. These are the insects that actually feed on bermuda in north Mississippi.
Grubs
They live under the soil and feed on grass roots, so you see dead patches long before you see the insect. Treated at the root.
Armyworms
They arrive in numbers and can strip a lawn in two or three days. Late summer is the window here, and timing the treatment matters more than anything else.
Chinch Bugs
They feed in the hottest, sunniest parts of the lawn and leave patches that look like drought but do not green back up when you water them.
Japanese Beetles
What those grubs turn into. The colorful beetles chewing through leaves in midsummer. Controlling the grubs is what keeps the beetle numbers down.
Sod Webworms
Small moths lifting out of the grass as you mow are the giveaway. The caterpillars feed at night and leave the lawn thin and ragged.
Mole Crickets
They tunnel just under the surface and cut roots as they go, so the turf feels spongy underfoot and lifts easily when you pull it.
Catch Lawn Insects Before the Damage Shows
By the time a lawn looks bad, the insect has usually been feeding for weeks. Grubs work below the soil on the roots, where nothing on the surface gives them away until the grass starts thinning. Armyworms are the opposite: they show up in numbers and can take a lawn down in a couple of days.
Timing is what separates a lawn that recovers from one you have to replant. If your grass is browning and you cannot explain it, call or text us and we will come and look at it.

Treatment Aimed at the Insect, Not the Whole Yard
Different insects live in different parts of the lawn, so they are not all treated the same way. Grubs and mole crickets sit down at the root line and the product has to be watered in to reach them. Armyworms and sod webworms feed up on the blade and are treated on the surface, where timing matters far more than volume.
We work out what is actually feeding on your lawn first and treat for that, rather than blanket-spraying the property and hoping something lands.
- The Root Zone
- The Thatch Layer
- The Soil Surface
- Blade and Leaf Tissue
- Sunny, Dry Edges
- Newly Sodded Areas
