Lawn Pests You May Encounter:

• Grubs (White Grubs) – Larvae of Japanese beetles, June bugs, and other beetles. Feed on grass roots, causing brown patches that peel up like carpet.
• Chinch Bugs – Small black bugs with white wings. Suck sap from grass, causing yellowing and death. Active in hot, dry weather.
• Sod Webworms – Small caterpillars that feed on grass blades. Create silken tunnels in thatch. Damage looks like small brown patches.
• Armyworms – Green, brown, or black caterpillars that march across lawns, eating everything in their path. Can destroy a lawn in days.
• Fire Ants – Build unsightly mounds and deliver painful stings. Can damage lawn equipment and harm pets and children.
• Mole Crickets – Tunnel through soil, uprooting grass and causing brown patches. Active at night.
• Billbugs – Weevil larvae that feed on grass stems and roots. Cause yellowing and death of grass.

Lawn pests can cause serious damage:

• Dead or dying grass – Grubs, chinch bugs, and armyworms can kill large areas of your lawn.
• Unsightly brown patches – Lawn damage reduces curb appeal and property value.
• Weed invasion – Dead grass areas are quickly invaded by weeds.
• Increased pest pressure inside your home – Pests from your yard find their way inside through cracks and gaps.
• Health risks – Ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes in your yard can transmit diseases to your family and pets.
• Expensive lawn replacement – Severe damage may require sod replacement or reseeding.

Lawn pests are attracted to:

• Healthy, lush grass – Pests love well-maintained lawns (more food)
• Thatch buildup – Excess thatch provides shelter for pests like chinch bugs and sod webworms
• Improper watering – Overwatering creates moist conditions; underwatering stresses grass, making it vulnerable
• Compacted soil – Poor drainage and compacted soil attract grubs and other pests
• Nearby untreated properties – Pests migrate from neighboring untreated lawns
• Outdoor lighting – Lights attract flying insects, which attract predators and other pests

Benefits of Perimeter Barrier Spray:

• Prevents pests from entering your home – Creates a protective zone around your foundation.
• Kills pests on contact – Insects that cross the barrier are eliminated immediately.
• Long-lasting protection – Our barrier treatments last 3-4 months.
• Reduces indoor pest problems – Fewer ants, spiders, crickets, and other crawling pests inside your home.
• Safe for pets and children – Once dry, the barrier is safe for family members and pets.
• Works with lawn treatment – Combining lawn treatment with barrier spray provides complete protection.

Grub Control Timing:

• Preventative Treatment (April–July): Applied before grubs hatch. Most effective and economical.
• Curative Treatment (August–October): Applied after grubs are already feeding. Kills existing grubs.
• Signs of grub damage: Brown patches that peel up like carpet, animals digging up your lawn, spongy turf.

• Fall (September–November): Grub damage becomes visible. Apply curative grub control if needed. Prepare lawn for winter.
