Grub & Armyworm Control in The Cliffs at Garrison Creek, Leipers Fork, TN

If you start seeing brown patches in your turf that pull up like carpet when you tug on them, you likely have a grub problem. These pests feed on your grass roots, stripping the plant of the energy it needs to survive the heat and drought cycles we see in Middle Tennessee. I also keep a close watch for armyworms. These are far more dramatic. Every few years, moths migrate north and can cause an infestation so massive that the ground actually looks like it is moving as the larvae consume everything in their path. An armyworm outbreak can destroy an entire lawn overnight.

My approach for The Cliffs at Garrison Creek is preventive. I use a novel chemistry that controls both armyworms and grubs simultaneously. This method is bee-safe and uses a mode of action that insects cannot adapt to or develop resistance against. I apply this as part of your standard protection plan before you see any actual damage. It is critical to act early; if you wait until you see the damage, the grubs are often too far along in their life cycle for me to use my bee-safe products. Instead, I would have to use harsher chemicals like Dylox, which are not something you want to breathe in. By treating preventatively, I ensure your grass stays resilient and your property remains healthy.
