Keeping your lawn looking its best requires constant attention to the threats that can destroy your turf from beneath the surface and above the soil line. Both grubs and army worms attack your turf with relentless efficiency, consuming the very foundations that keep your grass alive and thriving. Property owners throughout Versailles and the surrounding areas of Darke County know all too well how quickly these pests can transform a healthy lawn into a wasteland. 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. The professionals at Sunshine Lawn & Pest Professionals bring extensive knowledge and cutting-edge treatment options to every lawn care situation they encounter.
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.
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.
The difference between saving your lawn and losing it entirely often comes down to how quickly you recognize the signs of infestation and take appropriate action. Grub damage typically appears as irregular patches of brown or yellowing grass that seem to spread outward from a central point over the course of several weeks.
