Grub Control Treatment

Advanced Control for Severe or Widespread Pests

If you’re receiving this treatment, it means your property meets a few specific criteria:

1. We’ve identified moderate to severe grub (click to learn more about grubs) activity across a large portion of your lawn.

2. Spot treatments alone are no longer enough to control the issue effectively.

3. You’re NOT currently on our Turf Pest Prevention

We’ve scheduled a full-lawn (or large-area) pest control application to stop the spread and stabilize the turf as quickly as possible. However, we strongly recommend a preventive approach given the scale and severity of the issue going forward.

What We’re Applying

For pest spot treatments, we utilize a premium dual-active granular insecticide.

How It Works:

• One active ingredient becomes soil-active immediately after being “watered-in,” killing pests in the upper soil layers, primarily targeting grubs.

• The second active ingredient provides a powerful, short-term (2-weeks) systemic residual protection inside plants or grass, killing any pests missed by the initial soil-active ingredient.

This is a professional-grade product selected for one reason: it is among the most effective and safest options available when applied correctly.

The Unfortunate Reality of Reactive Pest Control

Transparency matters here. This treatment is designed to stop the damage, not reverse it overnight.

Once pests have begun feeding:

• Some areas of turf may already be weakened or thinning

• You may notice discoloration or patchy areas

• Damaged grass will need time to recover or fill back in.

Reactive VS Preventative Approach

There are two ways to manage turf-damaging insects:

1. Reactive Spot Treatments (What You’re Receiving)

• Applied only when pest activity is detected

• Lower upfront cost

• Effective when caught early

• May allow minor damage before intervention

2. Turf Pest Prevention (Recommended)

Our Turf Pest Prevention (TPP) program is designed to stop these issues before they ever start.

• Applied once annually

  • Stops pests like grubs, spittlebugs, and armyworms BEFORE they do damage

• Uses reduced-risk products that are SAFE FOR KIDS, PESTS, POLINATORS, AND BENEFICIAL INSECTS.

  • This fact can NOT be overstated. This product is MUCH safer than any other control method.

• Includes FREE FOLLOW-UP TREATMENTS if breakthrough activity occurs

Simply put:

• Spot treatment = reaction

• Prevention = protection

Pre & Post-Treatment Instructions

• Allow at least 1 hour before re-entry.

  • We will leave a clearly visible service sign with the date and time of application, so you and your maintenance crew can easily follow the recommended re-entry window. This helps protect anyone working in the landscape and ensures the treatment is not disrupted before it has time to fully take effect.

• Water in as soon as you can.
