Surface Insect Control
Fire ants, fleas, ticks, chinch bugs and armyworms.
Lawn insect treatments for the pests that bite people, pets and turf — from fire ant mounds to chinch bug damage and armyworm outbreaks.
What’s included
- Fire ant treatment that works on the colony, not just the mound you can see
- Flea and tick reduction in the turf and shaded pet areas
- Chinch bug and mole cricket treatment for Bermuda and St. Augustine
- Rapid response for fall armyworm outbreaks, which can strip a lawn in two days
Fire ants need a colony-level approach
Knocking the top off a mound relocates the problem. Broadcast bait plus targeted mound treatment gets the queen, which is what actually ends a colony. On larger properties we treat the whole turf area on a schedule rather than chasing mounds one at a time, because in Bulloch and Effingham counties new colonies move in from neighboring land constantly.
Chinch bugs look like drought damage
Every summer we get calls about 'dry spots' that turn out to be chinch bugs feeding along hot edges — driveways, sidewalks, south-facing sections. Watering harder does not fix it, and the damage spreads outward fast in St. Augustine. We check the edges of the damage rather than the dead center, which is where the insects actually are.
Armyworms are a phone-call emergency
Fall armyworms can take a healthy Bermuda lawn down to stubble in about 48 hours. If you see birds working your lawn heavily or notice the turf 'shrinking' day over day, call us that day. Treated early, the lawn recovers. Treated a week late, you are looking at replacement in the worst areas.
Best for
