Grub & Armyworm Control in Polk Place, Cool Springs, TN

In neighborhoods like Polk Place, the transition from a lush lawn to a patch of bare dirt can happen overnight if you aren't careful. I see two main culprits in the Cool Springs area: grubs and armyworms. Grubs are the silent destroyers. They feed on your grass roots, stripping the plant of the resources it needs to survive the heat and drought we get in Middle Tennessee. If you wait until you see the grass pulling up like carpet, it is often too late for bee-safe treatments. At that point, you are looking at harsh chemicals like Dylox that I refuse to spray because they are dangerous to breathe.

Then there are armyworms. These are the dramatic ones. Every few years, moth populations migrate north and hit a perfect storm of weather, causing an explosion of larvae. They start along your shrub lines and move outward with terrifying speed. When an infestation is severe, the ground actually looks like it is moving because there are so many larvae. To prevent this, I use a novel, bee-safe chemistry that controls both armyworms and grubs simultaneously. This application is part of my standard preventive plan. Because the chemistry is so new, insects cannot develop a resistance to it. I apply this before the damage starts, ensuring your turf stays intact through the season.
