Lawn Insect Control for Armyworms, Grubs & Beetles
Some of the worst lawn damage comes from insects you rarely see. Armyworms can chew through a healthy lawn in days, and grubs feed on roots underground until the grass above turns brown and pulls up like loose carpet. Ecocare's lawn insect control targets the pests that destroy turf, so your lawn stays healthy.
The Turf Pests We Target
Armyworms
Armyworms are caterpillars that travel and feed in large groups, often in late summer and fall. They can turn a green lawn brown almost overnight, so acting quickly matters.
Grubs
Grubs are the larvae of beetles. They live in the soil and feed on grass roots, causing brown patches that lift easily because the roots are gone.
Beetles
Adult beetles lay the eggs that become next season's grubs, and some feed on plants as well. Managing them helps break the cycle.
Signs of Insect Damage
- Brown or thinning areas that spread quickly
- Grass that pulls up easily with no roots attached
- Chewed or ragged grass blades
- Birds or other animals digging in the lawn, which often means grubs are present
Pet-Friendly and Environmentally Conscious
Our insect treatments are pet-friendly and environmentally conscious. We follow an integrated pest management approach. That means identifying the actual problem and treating it with purpose, not blanketing your yard with chemicals.
Insect or Disease?
Brown patches can come from insects, disease, or drought, and each needs a different fix. Treating for the wrong one wastes time and money. If you're not sure, send photos with your free estimate request. If it turns out to be fungus, see our lawn disease control page.
