Lawn Pest Control

A patchy lawn can be more than just a cosmetic issue. When your grass starts to thin out or turn yellow for no apparent reason, pests are often the culprit. These bugs ruin the appearance of your yard and damage the root system, making it harder for your lawn to recover.

That’s why It's Done Group offers professional lawn pest control that targets the problem at its source. We’ve helped countless property owners reclaim their outdoor spaces using proven methods tailored to the specific bugs in their area.

How Do You Know if Lawn Pests Are Ruining Your Yard?

Lawn pests are one of the most common reasons a yard starts to decline. When sections of grass lose their color, feel spongy, or start thinning out, it’s easy to assume the issue is watering or weather. However, if the damage continues to spread, there’s a good chance that insects are working beneath the surface.

Grubs, chinch bugs, and other turf-damaging pests feed on the roots and blades of your lawn, weakening it over time. You might notice birds digging more than usual or patches of grass that lift easily when pulled. These early signs often go unnoticed until the damage becomes more difficult to repair.

How Does It's Done Group Get Rid of Lawn Pests?

At It's Done Group, we get rid of lawn pests by starting with a close look at what your yard is telling us. We check for signs of insect activity, thinning grass, and areas that aren’t bouncing back the way they should. Once we understand what’s going on, we’ll walk you through the best way to treat the problem and help your lawn recover.

Here’s how our process usually works:

• Inspecting your lawn to check for pest activity
• Identifying the insects causing the damage
• Explaining your treatment options clearly
• Applying the chosen solution with care
• Following up to track results and progress

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to lawn pests. Some respond well to standard treatments. Others need a different approach. Either way, we’re here to make sure your lawn gets the attention it needs to grow back healthy and strong.

What Pests Cause the Most Damage to Your Yard?

Some of the pests that cause the most damage to your yard do it quietly, working beneath the surface or at night when no one’s watching. They feed on roots, blades, or moisture, and over time, even a healthy lawn can start to thin out or change color without warning.

These are the pests we see most often:

• Grubs: Feeding on grass roots and causing soft, patchy areas that lift easily
• Chinch bugs: Sucking moisture from grass and leaving behind dry, brown patches
• Sod webworms: Chewing through blades and creating ragged spots that appear overnight
• Armyworms: Moving fast and stripping grass in wide sections
• Cutworms: Attacking young grass near the soil line and weakening new growth

If you’ve started to notice unusual damage in your yard, we’ll help you figure out what’s causing it and what to do next.

Can Lawn Pests Damage Trees and Shrubs Too?

While immediate lawn pest control is vital for your turf, it’s equally important to consider how these pests affect your broader landscape. Some species can impact nearby plants if left untreated. Grubs, for example, feed on the roots of ornamental grasses and can move toward shrubs. Certain pests also attract animals like skunks and raccoons, which often dig up flower beds and garden edges.

If you have a mixed landscape, integrated pest management can help protect the entire area instead of just the turf.

Can Weather Affect Pest Activity in Lawns?

Yes, weather plays a major role in how active lawn pests are. Many insects become more aggressive during hot, dry summers, especially sod webworms. Conversely, white grubs thrive when the soil is moist but will burrow deeper into the ground as the temperature drops.

Even heavy spring rain can be a problem, as excess moisture often invites pests like leatherjackets. That’s why we tailor our treatments to both the current season and the local forecast, ensuring you get the most effective results year-round.

Are Lawn Pest Treatments Safe for Kids and Pets?

It's Done Group uses lawn pest control products selected for safety, effectiveness, and environmental responsibility. Your family’s well-being is our priority.

After treatment, we’ll advise you on the specific waiting periods required before children or pets can return to the lawn. Most common market applications dry quickly, and we always provide clear instructions so you can use your yard with total peace of mind.

How Often Should You Treat Your Lawn for Pests?

The right treatment frequency depends on your lawn’s condition, the types of pests present, and the severity of the infestation. In many cases, one to two treatments per season are enough to control active pests and prevent new outbreaks.

However, some lawns may benefit from quarterly check-ins, especially during peak pest seasons. If your yard has been prone to problems in the past, a preventative plan with scheduled visits is the best way to stay ahead of potential damage.

What Should You Expect After a Lawn Pest Treatment?

Once your initial pest problem is under control, we focus on recovery and prevention. This may include follow-up visits, soil health checks, or expert guidance on watering and mowing.

We’ll monitor your lawn’s progress and recommend any additional steps needed to restore growth. Many clients choose seasonal maintenance plans to keep their lawn protected long-term. Our goal is not just to remove pests; we want to help your lawn come back greener, thicker, and stronger than before.

How Do You Prevent Lawn Pests From Coming Back?

Once your lawn is treated, it’s essential to make the environment less welcoming to future pests. Good prevention blends healthy lawn care habits with strategic changes to your routine.

Here’s what you can do to help deter insects from coming back:

• Mow regularly and keep your grass at the recommended height
• Water deeply but infrequently to discourage surface-dwelling bugs
• Aerate your lawn yearly to improve root strength and reduce compaction
• Remove lawn thatch, where pests often hide and breed
• Keep your yard free of debris, like leaves or excess mulch

Our lawn maintenance services are designed to ensure the results of our treatment stick. We can discuss which routine plan is best for your property once the initial pest issue is managed.
