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.

Q: Do you treat the whole yard or the damaged areas?

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.

Q: When is the best time to treat the lawn?

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.
