Comprehensive Pest Control
Lawn Pride offers pest control services that use the most effective products on the market. From vole and mole control to perimeter pest control, we take a comprehensive approach to keeping pests at bay. We begin our services by understanding where the pests are in their life cycle so we can tailor our strategy accordingly.
Signs You Might Need Lawn Pest Control
For insight as to how pests might be impacting your lawn, be on the lookout for any signs of animal or insect life. You may spot pests crawling on plants or soil, notice eggs or larvae, or find insect nests or webs. Identifying the type of insects present can help you determine the appropriate control measures.
Damage to plants can also provide clues as to what pests have infiltrated your lawn. Be on the lookout for chewed leaves, wilting, yellowing, or stunted growth. Some pests feed on plant foliage, stems, or roots, causing visible damage that can indicate their presence. If you notice small holes or tunnels in your lawn, especially near the surface, it could be a sign of burrowing pests like moles, voles, or ground-dwelling insects such as grubs, ants, and other perimeter pests.
Pest Life-Cycles
Understanding bug life cycles is essential for effective lawn insect control, as it allows you to anticipate and address pest problems at the most vulnerable stages of their development. During the egg stage, pests are often not visible, making it challenging to detect and control them. Lawn Pride can apply insecticides or biological control agents to areas where pests are likely to lay their eggs before they hatch. This can disrupt the egg-laying process or kill the eggs before they have a chance to hatch.
Larvae and nymphs of pests like grubs, caterpillars, and aphids can cause damage to lawns if left unchecked. Monitoring for larval or nymph activity, such as chewed grass or wilting plants, can help you detect and address pest infestations early. At this phase in the life cycle, we apply targeted insecticides or pesticides that specifically target larvae or nymphs while minimizing harm to beneficial organisms and the environment.
Adult insects are often the most visible life cycle stage and may be easier to detect and control. Sprays, dusts, or baits are selected based on the specific pest species and the environment where they are applied.
The Lawn Pride Approach to Pest Control
No matter what your pest control needs might be, count on Lawn Pride to deliver results. Our experienced team has seen it all — tell us about your concerns, and we’ll diagnose and treat them strategically.
Our popular 7-Application Program includes seasonal fertilization, weed prevention, pest control services, and more. Our insect control treatment is added to our weed control application twice per year to reduce the number of surface insects in your turf to make your lawn healthier and more enjoyable. This comprehensive approach helps us give our clients the best possible results.
Of course, should you require a more intensive, targeted approach to pest control, we’re happy to customize our services. After telling us a bit about the pest issues you’re facing, we’ll work closely with you to develop a personalized pest control plan that addresses your specific concerns. 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 solutions to effectively control pests and prevent future outbreaks.
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 patches in lawns 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, cutworms, aphids, whiteflies, mealy bugs, and other outdoor pests.

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.
