Grub & Armyworm Control in Blackberry Ridge, Leipers Fork, TN

Grubs and armyworms can turn a high-end landscape into a dead zone almost overnight. When grubs feed on your root system, they strip the grass of the energy it needs to survive the heat and drought cycles we see here in Middle Tennessee. I approach this preventively. I use a novel, bee-safe chemistry that controls both grubs and armyworms simultaneously. Because this chemistry is so unique, there is no chance of the insects developing resistance to it.

Armyworms are the more dramatic threat. Every few years, moths migrate north and, if the weather aligns, populations explode. These larvae move outward from shrub lines at a rapid pace. In a severe infestation, the sheer volume of larvae can make the ground look like it is moving, and they can strip an entire lawn in a single night.

I apply my protection as a standard part of my plan before you ever see the damage. Once you see brown patches or feel the turf pulling up like carpet, the grubs are already too far along in their life cycle for my bee-safe products. At that stage, you would need heavy chemicals like Dylox, which I do not apply because of the inhalation risks involved. My goal for your Blackberry Ridge property is to stop the cycle before the damage starts.
