While managing fundamental lawn care such as water, mowing, and fertilizing is relatively simple, preventing insects from making your backyard their home is a little less easy to control. Insects can severely damage your lawn, so it's crucial to be proactive in preventing them from taking over. Green Seasons Lawns in the Northland Kansas City area offers customers full-service lawn care, which includes grub and insect prevention and various other services. Get started today with our grub and insect prevention service.
Benefits of Lawn Grub & Insect Prevention
Healthy lawns attract insects and pests. They provide a good source of nutrients and an excellent habitat for them to live in. It’s essential to keep these pests off your lawn if you want to maintain a healthy yard
01
Healthy Lawn
When your lawn isn’t being eaten and infested with insects like grubs and armyworms, it stays healthy and green versus thing and brown.
02
Prevents Weeds
The thinner your lawn becomes, the more room weeds have to flourish. The nutrient allocation remains the same, but there is less grass, so weeds are able to thrive easier in your yard with less grass. Luckily, if your lawn still has pesky weeds growing, our full-service lawn care program includes fertilization and weed control, so there is no need to worry!
03
Prevents Disease
Insects and grubs can carry disease over to your lawn. When left untreated, disease can cause your plants and trees to decay and attract fungus to feed on.
04
More Enjoyable Experience
Finally, your lawn becomes a much more enjoyable experience to hang out in when it isn’t invested with chinch bugs or any other insect feeding on the grass or its roots.
Types of Lawn Pests We Take Care Of
There are many insects and bugs that we help rid and prevent from invading your lawn. Here are just a few of the most common and damaging ones:
Grubs
Grubs are the larvae of beetles that live in your soil. This is a prime area for them as their primary sources of nutrients are grassroots and other organic materials in the soil. They can turn into Japanese beetles or even June bugs when they mature.
Chinch bugs
Chinch bugs tend to feed on grass when dry, typically from June to September. They feed on grass blades by stabbing them with their needle-like beaks, similar to a mosquito, and suck out the fluids, leaving brown and yellow spots throughout your lawn on grass blades.
Armyworms
Armyworms get their name by essentially traveling and invading lawns in massive waves. Their eggs are deposited by gray moths, usually after a wet spring. These bugs are most active at night and will consume just about any plant or grass in their path.
Sod webworms destroy lawns by eating the undersides of leaves. Their warpaths are characterized by rough brown spots that eventually turn into large dead patches. You can also tell your lawn has sod webworms when you see areas of webbing in your grass.
Emerald Ash Borers
Emerald Ash Borers pose a significant threat to ash trees, infecting and killing them rapidly. Our expert pest control services specialize in removing these destructive pests, ensuring the health and longevity of your valuable ash trees.
