Lawn Insect Control
If you're dealing with a persistent pest problem or infestation you can't handle alone, you’ve come to the right place. Maintaining your lawn is essential for a comfortable living environment and healthy outdoor space.
Controlling lawn insects effectively involves a combination of prevention, monitoring, and natural methods. Here's a best practices list to help you manage lawn insects:
1. Regularly Inspect Your Lawn
- Check for visible signs of insect activity, such as brown patches, wilted grass, or insects themselves.
- Look for pests like grubs, chinch bugs, ants, or caterpillars.
- Inspect the underside of leaves, stems, and soil surface for eggs or larvae.
2. Maintain Healthy Lawn Care
- Mow regularly: Keep grass at the recommended height for your specific grass type to help it outcompete pests and stay healthy.
- Water deeply but infrequently: Deep watering encourages deep root growth and helps your lawn tolerate stress, including insect invasions.
- Fertilize appropriately: Over-fertilizing can attract pests like grubs, so apply fertilizers in proper amounts and at the right time.
3. Promote Biodiversity
- Encourage natural predators like birds, beneficial insects (ladybugs, predatory beetles), and nematodes that eat pests.
- Plant diverse species of plants around the lawn to attract a wider range of beneficial insects.
4. Treat the Soil
- Aerate your lawn to improve drainage and reduce compacted soil, which can attract certain pests like grubs.
- Topdress with compost to promote soil health, which naturally supports pest resistance.
5. Timing of Pest Control
- Apply treatments at times when pests are most vulnerable.
- For grubs, treat your lawn with a preventative before grubs start feeding on your lawn.
6. Manage Thatch Build-Up
- Thatch (the layer of dead grass and roots) can harbor insects. Use dethatching or lawn aeration to reduce this layer and prevent insects from nesting.
7. Consider Lawn Renovation
- If a specific area is consistently infested, it may be beneficial to reseed or sod that section after treating for pests.
8. Consult a Professional
- If you're unsure about the best way to treat your lawn or face a persistent insect issue, consulting a Lawn Pride professional can help you develop a tailored plan.
By following these best practices, you can minimize the impact of lawn insects while maintaining a healthy, thriving lawn.
The Lawn Pride Approach to Lawn Insect Control
Whether you're dealing with a particular insect infestation, rodent problem, or other pest-related issue, our experienced team will assess the situation thoroughly and recommend tailored lawn pest control services to control pests and prevent future outbreaks effectively.
The Lawn Pride approach deals with these pests and more to promote a healthy yard for you:
- Beetles and Grub Worms: They will cause brown spots in your lawn by eating the roots of your grass. Beetles will lay eggs in your lawn in the early summer, and those insects will become grub worms after hatching.
- Armyworms: These worms also create brown lawn patches by feeding off your grass. Armyworms lay their eggs across your yard and tend to spread quickly in the summer and early fall.
- Fire Ants: These pests have a nasty bite that itches for days. Fire ants also dig up mounds of loose soil in yards and travel in swarms.
- And More: Our pest control experts treat all local pests, which may include chinch bugs, sod webworms, armyworms, billbugs, cutworms, aphids, whiteflies, mealy bugs, and other outdoor pests.

How Can I Prevent Pests in My Lawn?
You can take a few relatively easy steps to prevent pests from being attracted to your lawn. Mow your lawn to the proper height based on your grass type. Be sure your property is irrigated properly, as over- or under-watering can invite pests.

We are proud to be a Neighborly company and stand behind the Neighborly Done Right Promise™.
When Should I Treat My Lawn for Insects?
You should treat your lawn for insects when you see damage or notice bugs. The decision depends on factors like the type of insects, how bad the problem is, and the time of year. If you see signs of damage, call Lawn Pride for comprehensive yard pest control.
When Can I Handle Lawn Pest Control Myself, and When Should I Call a Professional?
Taking a DIY approach to pest control can feel like fighting an uphill battle. We recommend homeowners apply preventative measures, such as insecticidal soap or beneficial nematodes, to the lawn to prevent pest infestations, which can be done without professional assistance. Regular lawn care practices can help prevent pest problems as well. Beyond these tasks, though, it’s best to leave pest control for lawns to the professionals.
