When you know what to look for and when to look for it, you can often prevent small pest problems from becoming major lawn catastrophes.

Unlike grubs that feed underground, army worms attack the visible portions of your grass, chewing through blades and leaving behind bare, brown patches of exposed soil.
Early detection of pest infestations dramatically increases the likelihood of successful treatment and reduces the overall cost of restoring your lawn to good health. Random patches of dead grass that appear during otherwise normal growing conditions warrant investigation for possible grub activity beneath the surface.
The feeding activity of army worms creates brown patches with a ragged, uneven appearance that seems to expand rapidly across the lawn as the caterpillars move and feed.
Our technicians serve homeowners throughout Modoc and the surrounding areas with fast, reliable diagnostic services.

A healthy lawn ecosystem includes not just grass but a complex community of organisms that keep pest populations in check through natural predation and competition.

The long residual activity of preventive products means a single well-timed application can provide protection throughout the entire grub development season.
The damage already caused by grubs cannot be reversed by curative treatment, but stopping further feeding gives your lawn the best chance to recover before winter.
Army worm control typically requires fast-acting contact insecticides that kill caterpillars quickly before they consume more of your lawn.
These broad-spectrum treatments can simplify pest management by addressing several potential problems with a single application during peak pest season.
