A healthy and attractive lawn depends on your ability to recognize and address the pests that threaten to ruin your hard work throughout the growing season. Grubs and army worms stand out as two of the most destructive pests that homeowners and property managers face when trying to maintain beautiful green spaces. Homeowners across Auglaize County have witnessed firsthand the devastation that unchecked grub and army worm populations can inflict on even the most well-maintained lawns. 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. Sunshine Lawn & Pest Professionals has built a reputation throughout Auglaize County for delivering effective pest control solutions that actually work.
Healthy lawns can tolerate a small number of grubs per square foot, but populations above that threshold quickly cause visible damage that spreads across your property.
Army worms earn their name from the way they march across lawns in large numbers, consuming everything in their path like a tiny invading force.
The ability to recognize pest damage early gives you a significant advantage in protecting your lawn from the extensive destruction these insects can cause when left unchecked. The affected areas often feel spongy underfoot because the root system has been destroyed, leaving the grass blades with nothing anchoring them to the soil.
Sunshine Lawn & Pest Professionals technicians are trained to identify army worm activity and implement targeted treatments that eliminate the infestation before your entire lawn is consumed.

Chemical treatments have their place in integrated pest management programs, particularly for addressing severe infestations that threaten the survival of your lawn.

Heavily damaged areas may require overseeding or sodding after treatment to restore turf cover once the grub population has been eliminated.
