We treat the affected areas and apply a preventive treatment to the rest of the lawn, so the pest does not move across the property.

The timing depends on the pest and its lifecycle. Grubs are best treated when they are young, and chinch bugs are treated when the activity peaks in the warm months.

Q: Are the treatments safe for my lawn and my pets?

Yes. The products are applied per the label and watered in as directed, with the pet and re-entry times posted.

Q: How much does lawn pest control cost in Plummer?

Grub treatment runs $200 to $450 in Plummer, with a seasonal lawn insect program from $300 to $600. The cost depends on the size of the lawn and the pest.

Q: Why are the brown patches in my lawn?

Brown patches often come from grubs or chinch bugs feeding on the roots, which makes the turf pull up easily. An inspection confirms which pest is responsible.
