When you take pride in your outdoor spaces, dealing with lawn pests becomes an unavoidable part of keeping your property looking pristine and welcoming. These voracious insects cause extensive damage to grass roots and blades, often before property owners even realize they have a problem developing beneath their feet. Homeowners across Shelby County have witnessed firsthand the devastation that unchecked grub and army worm populations can inflict on even the most well-maintained lawns. Knowledge about the life cycles and feeding habits of these insects provides you with the tools necessary to protect your investment in your outdoor living spaces. The professionals at Sunshine Lawn & Pest Professionals bring extensive knowledge and cutting-edge treatment options to every lawn care situation they encounter.

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.
