Understanding Lawn Pests

Know the pests that damage lawns and threaten family health.

Grub Control

White grubs are the larvae of Japanese beetles, European chafers, and other beetles. They feed on grass roots, causing severe lawn damage.

Warning Signs

  • Brown patches that roll up like carpet
  • Increased animal digging (skunks, raccoons)
  • Spongy or wilting turf
  • C-shaped white larvae in soil

Our Treatment

Preventive treatments in late spring or curative treatments in early fall.

Tick Control

Deer ticks and dog ticks carry serious diseases including Lyme disease. They thrive in shady, moist areas at the edges of lawns.

Warning Signs

  • Ticks found on family members or pets
  • Wooded areas or tall grass nearby
  • Wildlife (deer, mice) on property
  • Previous tick encounters

Our Treatment

Perimeter treatments in spring and fall targeting tick harborage areas.

Flea Control

Fleas can infest lawns and quickly move indoors on pets. Outdoor treatment is essential for complete flea elimination.

Warning Signs

  • Pets scratching excessively
  • Flea bites on family members
  • Fleas jumping in yard
  • Shaded, moist lawn areas

Our Treatment

Yard treatments combined with indoor treatment and pet flea control.

Healthy lawn protected from grubs

Understanding Grub Damage

Grubs are the larval stage of various beetles, including Japanese beetles and European chafers. They live in the soil and feed on grass roots, severing the connection between turf and its water/nutrient supply.

A few grubs per square foot are normal and don't cause visible damage. But when populations exceed 10+ grubs per square foot, the damage becomes severe. Affected turf turns brown, feels spongy, and can be rolled back like carpet.

Grub Lifecycle in Michigan

June-July

Adult beetles emerge, feed, and lay eggs in lawns

July-August

Eggs hatch, young grubs begin feeding on roots

August-October

Peak feeding period - most damage occurs

November-April

Grubs move deep in soil to overwinter

Preventive treatment (May-July) stops grubs before they cause damage. Curative treatment (August-September) kills active grubs but can't undo existing damage. For best results, prevention is key.

Protecting Your Family from Ticks

Michigan has seen a dramatic increase in tick populations and tick-borne diseases, including Lyme disease. Deer ticks (blacklegged ticks) are now established throughout southeast Michigan, making yard protection more important than ever.

Tick-Borne Disease Risk

Lyme disease cases in Michigan have increased significantly over the past decade. Early symptoms include a bull's-eye rash, fever, fatigue, and joint pain. If left untreated, Lyme disease can cause serious long-term health problems.

Our Tick Control Approach

  • Perimeter treatments target tick harborage areas at property edges
  • Seasonal timing - spring and fall applications for maximum effectiveness
  • Targeted application in shady, moist areas where ticks thrive
  • Habitat recommendations to make your yard less tick-friendly

Pest Control FAQs

We specialize in lawn-damaging and outdoor pests including grubs (Japanese beetle larvae, European chafer), ticks (deer ticks, dog ticks), and fleas. These targeted treatments protect both your lawn and your family.
The best time for preventive grub control is late spring to early summer (May-July), before eggs hatch. If you already have grub damage, curative treatments can be applied in late summer/early fall when grubs are actively feeding.
Signs of grub damage include irregular brown patches that pull up easily (like loose carpet), increased animal activity (skunks, raccoons digging), and visible white C-shaped larvae when you lift turf. Damage typically appears in late summer/early fall.
Yes, when applied according to label directions. We use EPA-registered products and recommend keeping pets and children off treated areas until dry (typically 1-2 hours). We'll provide specific safety instructions for each treatment.
Professional yard tick treatments can reduce tick populations by 85-90% when properly applied. We target tick harborage areas including lawn edges, shrub beds, and wooded borders. For best results, we recommend treatments in spring and fall.
