Lawn Insect & Grub Control in Metro Atlanta
A lawn that turns brown in a few days in late summer often has armyworms. Spongy turf that peels up like carpet usually means grubs. Insect control is part of Healthy Lawn Elite, our 12-visit program: insecticide treatments that protect your lawn from damaging insects like armyworms and grubs are included at no extra cost.
Insect control is part of Healthy Lawn Elite (12 visits a year). In Healthy Lawn Elite, all insecticide treatments are included at no extra cost.
Fall armyworms
Armyworms move across Georgia lawns in waves, mostly late summer into fall, and can strip a Bermuda lawn in days. Birds working the lawn and brown, chewed patches that spread fast are the warning signs.
White grubs
Grubs are beetle larvae that feed on grass roots below the surface. Damaged turf feels spongy and peels back easily, and you may see skunks, armadillos or birds digging.
Chinch bugs and other pests
Chinch bugs cause yellow-to-brown patches in hot, dry, sunny spots, often along drives and sidewalks. Billbugs and mole crickets can also damage Georgia lawns.
How we handle lawn insects
When insects show up, on a visit or between visits, we apply insecticide by the label to protect the lawn. Spot something? Call us: unlimited service calls are included. In Healthy Lawn Elite, all insecticide treatments are included at no extra cost.
Healthy lawns recover faster
A lawn that is fed on schedule and kept free of weeds bounces back from insect damage much faster. That is why insect control is part of a complete program, not a one-time spray.
Part of a complete program
Insect control comes with everything else in Healthy Lawn Elite: complete weed control, all needed pre-emergent applications to control weeds year round, professional fertilization, fire ant control, fungicide treatments, soil enhancers, unlimited service calls and the Masterpiece Guarantee.
Grass types we treat
Every lawn starts with a soil test and a plan for its grass type.

Insect & Grub Control questions
Are insecticide treatments included in my program?
Insect control is part of Healthy Lawn Elite, our 12-visit program, and all insecticide treatments are included at no extra cost. Healthy Lawn Essential focuses on weed control, pre-emergent and fertilization.
How do I know if I have armyworms?
Brown, chewed-looking patches that spread across the lawn in a few days in late summer or fall, often with birds feeding on the lawn. Call us right away, because armyworms move fast.
How do I check for grubs?
Pull back a square foot of turf in a brown area. If it peels up easily and you see white, C-shaped larvae in the soil, you have grubs.
Will my lawn recover from insect damage?
Usually. Bermuda and zoysia recover quickly once the insects are controlled and the grass is fed. Badly damaged fescue may need fall overseeding.
What is the Masterpiece Guarantee?
The Masterpiece Guarantee is our promise that you will see results. There are no contracts, so you can stop the service at any time. The full details are in our Terms of Service.
