Grub & Armyworm Control in Cool Springs East, Cool Springs, TN

If you see patches of brown turf or notice the ground looks like it is moving, you are dealing with an armyworm infestation. These pests migrate north from Florida and, when the conditions align, they can eat an entire lawn in a single night. They typically start along your shrub lines where moths lay their larvae and then move outward with devastating speed. I also see issues with grubs, which feed on your grass roots and strip the plant of the energy it needs to survive the heat and drought we get here in Middle Tennessee. Grubs also happen to be the larval stage of Japanese beetles, so controlling them early solves two problems at once.

My approach in Cool Springs East is preventive. I use a novel chemistry that controls both armyworms and grubs simultaneously. This product is bee-safe and uses a mode of action that insects cannot adapt to or develop resistance against. I apply this as part of my standard plan before you see any physical damage. If you wait until the damage is visible, the grubs are too far along in their life cycle for me to use my bee-safe products. At that point, you would be forced to use heavy chemicals like Dylox, which is something you don't want to breathe in. I focus on stopping the cycle before it starts so your investment stays intact.
