What it is
Grubs feed on grass roots below the surface. Chinch bugs feed on grass in sunny areas during the summer.
Both can turn a healthy lawn brown in a few weeks. We prevent them before damage starts and treat active problems fast.
Signs you need it
- Brown patches that peel back like carpet
- Skunks, raccoons or birds digging in the lawn
- Yellow or brown patches in sunny areas in midsummer
- Grass that doesn't green up after watering
When we do it
Grub prevention goes down in early summer, before eggs hatch. Chinch bugs are watched for and treated during the summer heat.
What's included
- Lawn inspection for insect activity
- Preventive grub treatment
- Chinch bug treatment when activity is found
- Free re-service between visits if you're not satisfied
- Automatic reminder 48 hours before every visit
Questions
Common questions
Animals are digging up my lawn. Is it grubs?
Often, yes. Skunks and raccoons dig for grubs. We'll check the soil during your free evaluation.
Is grub damage the same as drought?
They can look alike. Grub-damaged turf pulls up easily because the roots are gone. Drought-stressed turf stays anchored.
