Has your lawn begun turning brown in areas? Have you come across silken tunnels in the thatch? Or can you lift up areas of turf with your hands? If so, you may have a grub or insect problem.
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should contact us immediately. Our team of experts possesses the entomological knowledge necessary to determine the root cause of damage. After assessing the situation, our specialists select the most appropriate treatment for the specific problem at hand.
As you will read below, timing is of the essence; a grub or insect problem can quickly get out of hand.
Grub Control
Grubs are the white larvae of scarab beetles, such as June bugs and Japanese beetles. To fully develop, they chew on roots, preventing your grass from taking up nutrients. As a result, large dead patches will appear in the turf. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, raccoons, opossums, moles, and skunks will dig up your grass to snack on them.
Grub Worm Treatment
Prevention is key. To ensure that grubs never come back, we offer season long grub protection. Lawns that have experienced grub problems in the past should strongly consider this annual service. All homeowners, however, would benefit from season long grub protection, since a damaged lawn ends up costing more than grub protection. In addition, this service will help control other insects present at time of application.Lawn Insect Control
Destructive surface insects like armyworms and sod webworms are the larvae of moths. If left unchecked, these voracious eaters can do damage quickly. If you want to keep your lawn green and healthy, these insects need to be controlled. In general, several treatments per year are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions - Grub & Insect Control
What are grubs and how do they damage lawns?
Grubs, the white larvae of scarab beetles like June bugs and Japanese beetles, damage lawns by feeding on the roots of grass, preventing it from absorbing vital nutrients. This often leads to large dead patches in the turf. Additionally, animals such as skunks, moles, and armadillos may further damage the lawn by digging it up to reach the grubs.
What is the best way to prevent grubs from damaging my lawn?
Prevention is crucial in controlling grubs. Season-long grub protection is highly recommended, especially for lawns that have had grub issues in the past. This annual service not only prevents grub infestations but also tends to be more cost-effective than dealing with a damaged lawn. Season-long grub protection can also help control other insects that may be present at the time of application.
What about other lawn insects? How are they controlled?
In addition to grubs, Simply The Best Lawns also controls destructive surface insects like armyworms and sod webworms, which are moth larvae. These insects can quickly damage a lawn if not controlled, typically requiring several treatments per year.
What guarantees does Simply The Best Lawns offer for grub and insect control?
We provide a unique warranty for grub protection. If grubs damage your lawn, we will reseed the affected areas at no charge. This guarantee reflects their confidence in effectively resolving grub problems.
