Grub & Armyworm Control in Lockwood Glen, Cool Springs, TN

Grubs and armyworms are the two biggest threats to the turf in Lockwood Glen. Grubs are particularly sneaky because they feed on your grass roots. When they eat that root system, your lawn loses its ability to survive the intense Middle Tennessee heat and drought. You might think you can wait until you see dead patches to act, but that is a mistake. By the time the damage is visible, the grubs are too far along in their life cycle for me to use bee-safe chemistry. I avoid using heavy, unpleasant products like Dylox that you don't want breathing in; instead, I apply a preventative treatment using a novel chemistry that controls both armyworms and grubs at the same time. This method is bee-safe and prevents insects from ever developing a resistance to it.

Armyworms are much more dramatic. These pests come from migrating moths, and while they don't hit every year, they can cause massive outbreaks in the Cool Springs area every few years. When they arrive, they start along your shrub lines and move outward with terrifying speed. An entire lawn can be eaten overnight, and the infestation is so thick the ground actually looks like it is moving. Because Lockwood Glen has a mix of established landscapes and irrigation, these pests find plenty of places to thrive. My approach is to stay ahead of them with a standard, preventive application that protects your investment before the damage begins.
