Why Pest Control Matters in Highland

Highland lawns face threats from grubs (Japanese beetle and European chafer larvae), ticks, and fleas. Grubs feed on grass roots underground, causing brown patches and severe lawn damage. Ticks carry Lyme disease and other illnesses, while fleas make outdoor areas uncomfortable for families and pets. Early prevention is far more effective than treating damage after it occurs.

Local Soil: Sandy loam over gravel

Highland sits on glacial moraine, so soil runs sandy and gravelly across much of the township with pockets of heavier clay in the low areas. Sandy ground drains fast and loses nutrients quickly, which makes a timed fertilization program matter more here than in the clay-heavy communities to the east.

Soil-Specific Recommendation

Sandy soil allows grubs to move more freely, potentially affecting larger areas. Properties near natural areas or lakes may also see higher tick populations.
