Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does lawn pest control cost in Albany?
Grub treatment runs $200 to $450 in Albany, 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.

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.
