Turf-damaging pests can severely impact lawns if left unchecked. Grubs feed on grass roots, causing widespread damage, while Tuttle mealybugs hide in thatch and resist common insecticides. Armyworms rapidly strip turfgrass, and spittlebugs inject toxins that lead to yellowing and dieback. Zoysia mites, nearly invisible, stunt growth by curling leaves. Understanding these pests is key to protecting and maintaining a healthy lawn.
