When you have a lovely, green lawn, you want it to stay that way. Many factors play a role in keeping up the health and vitality of your lawn – but one possible hazard is pests. At the end of every winter, different insect species hatch and begin to feed on grass plants. Though your lawn may look like it’s in good shape now, you may have an insect problem without even realizing it. And if you’re starting to notice some wear in your turf, it’s important to identify the problem right away. Either way, lawn pest control from Lawn Doctor of La Grange-Willowbrook can help.

If your yard is pest-free, we can identify risk factors and help you build a prevention strategy. Depending on the time of year, we can apply preventative sprays around the border of your yard and your home to better safeguard against pests. At Lawn Doctor of La-Grange Willowbrook, we focus on lawn pest control that’s proactive as well as reactive. If you have pests, we can help control and reduce their populations. And if you don’t have any insect problems, we can help make sure it stays that way.
Common Lawn Pest Control in La Grange
Our lawn pest control for La Grange includes:
- Grub control. As the larval stage of beetles, grubs begin feeding almost immediately after hatching. They’re also a favorite prey of small animals like skunks, birds, and moles. These animal scavengers only cause additional damage to your lawn.
- Chinch bugs prevention. Chinch bugs produce up to 300 eggs. Because of their size and color, they blend into your yard, making it difficult to spot infestations. Not only do chinch bugs devour your grass plants, but they also release toxins that can be deadly to plants.
- Sod webworm control. Sod webworms, the early stage of the common lawn moth, do most of their feeding at night. Each female can lay up to 200 eggs. Sod webworms hatch throughout the year, so an infestation can quickly get out of control.
