It's Time To Treat For Grub Worms

Don’t forget! August is the time of year to treat for grub worms.

Most of our grub damage is brought on by the larva of the June beetle. Peak flights of the June beetle occur in mid-May to mid-June and eggs hatch about 1 month later. Grubs are easiest to kill at this early stage of their growth when they are closer to the soil surface.

Not every yard will have a large enough population to cause damage, but if you have had one in the past you may be in a location that is prone to infestation.

Lawns close to street lights where June bugs gather are often hit hard, and ironically, they often attack well watered lush lawns when soil is soft and food (roots) is abundant.

They will do serious damage to turf over the next two months, so treat now to avoid losing your lawn.

Prices start at just $75.00 for lawns up to 4,000 sq. ft., with up to 50% off for customers that are already on our 7 step chemical program!

This many grubs in 1 sq. ft. of soil is enough to do serious damage.
