Lawn pest and grub control
A vibrant, thick and dark green lawn is stronger and less susceptible to weeds, diseases
and lawn-damaging pests. But even the healthy and well-maintained turfgrasses
can be infested and if left unchecked, destroyed by these grass eating insects.
Chinch bugs, white grubs, fall armyworms,sod webworms, bermuda mites, mole crickets,
red imported fire ants, cutworms are the major turfgrass insect pests in Texas.
The damage caused by insect pests is usually mistaken for a disease, drought or
infertility.
The key to prevent lawn-pest infestations is preventive care.
