Grub & Armyworm Control in Grove Park, Columbia, TN

Grubs and armyworms are two different headaches, but they can both ruin your curb appeal in Grove Park overnight. Grubs live underground and feed on your root system. When they eat those roots, your grass loses its ability to handle the Middle Tennessee heat or the upcoming water rate increases we are seeing in Columbia. I treat for grubs preventively because once you see the actual damage, the pests are too far along in their life cycle for me to use bee-safe chemistry. If we wait too long, the only option is Dylox, which is a chemical I refuse to apply because it is something you don't want to breathe in.

Armyworms are even more dramatic. These moths migrate north from Florida, and when the conditions align, they can explode in population. I usually see these massive outbreaks about every five years. They start along your shrub lines and move outward so fast that your entire lawn can be eaten in a single night. It is a sight to see; the ground actually looks like it is moving because there are so many larvae. My approach uses a novel chemistry that controls both armyworms and grubs at the same time. It is a bee-safe application that is applied preventively as part of my standard plan, ensuring the insects cannot develop resistance to the mode of action.
