Grub Worm Control
What are Grub Worms?
White grub worms are notorious in Texas. You may seem them from digging around in your yard, or most commonly you might see them in their adult form and not even know it. We know them as June bugs. These bugs repeat their life cycle annually causing large amounts of damage in lawns all over the state.
Identifying
Understanding the life cycle of a grub worm is important in identifying if you have grubs in your lawn. In the Spring, Grubs wake up for the year, and begin feeding on the roots of your grass. After feeding, the larvae form into pupae to later become June bugs. These beetles damage trees and shrubs by feeding on their foliage. Thereafter, the beetles then dig their way into the lawn and lay their eggs. The eggs then hatch, and the the life cycle of a grub starts all over again.
Chinch Bugs
What are Chinch Bugs?
Chinch bugs are another very common bug in Texas. They are especially common in St. Augustine grass. They are about the size of, or smaller than the size of ants. Chinch bugs are most active during the hot, dry part of the summer. They damage your lawn by sucking the moisture out of the grass blades leaving your St. Augustine with a dry almost hay look. If you get down close enough, you may see them running up and down the grass blades next to the damaged areas. We do a broadcast treatment of Talstar to kill off any Chinch bugs in your lawn.
