Other Common Lawn Pests in New York

New York’s diverse climate creates a haven for various insects that can damage your lawn. Some of the most common culprits include:

Chinch Bugs

These tiny bugs feed on grass juices and target stressed lawns, particularly those in sunny areas with poor drainage. Their feeding initially appears as small, yellow patches of dying grass. As the infestation worsens, these patches grow larger and merge, turning the lawn brown and straw-like. Our insect control services in New York can keep these pests away from your lawn for your peace of mind.

Grubs

The larvae of various beetles fall under the umbrella term “grubs.” These plump, white creatures with brown heads live underground and feed on grass roots. Their activity can cause significant damage, leading to wilting, patchy brown areas, and spongy turf that feels detached from the soil. Grubs are most active in late summer and early fall, but the damage they cause becomes most evident in the spring and early summer. As a trusted lawn pest control company in New York, we can provide solutions that will protect your property from the effects of grubs.

Sod Webworms

These caterpillars, the larvae of lawn moths, wreak havoc at night. They chew on grass blades between the leaf sheath and the stem, creating unsightly brown patches and uneven growth. As sod webworm populations grow, the damage becomes more extensive, leaving your lawn looking ragged and unhealthy.

Other Insects

This list is just the tip of the iceberg. A variety of other insects can pose a threat to your New York lawn. Carpenter ants can burrow into and damage wooden structures and trees. Fruit tree pests like aphids, scales, and codling moths can target your prized apple, pear, or cherry trees. Billbugs, white grubs, and mole crickets can also damage your lawn by feeding on roots or creating tunnels beneath the surface. No matter which pests are overtaking your yard, you can trust our insect control company to provide a solution that protects your lawn and the surrounding ecosystem.

Signs You Need a Lawn Insect Control Service From Our Pros in New York

By staying vigilant and recognizing the signs of insect damage, you can take action to protect your lawn before these pests cause serious harm. Reach out to our specialists in New York for a lawn insect control service if you notice any of the following:

  • Patchy, Brown Spots: Dead or dying grass patches can be a sign of insect feeding activity.
  • Wilting or Stunted Grass: This is often caused by bugs damaging the root system.
  • Increased Bird Activity: Birds love feeding on grubs; unfortunately, this can create small holes in your lawn.
  • Presence of Visible Insects: Seeing large numbers of insects like chinch bugs, sod webworms, cockroaches, or stink bugs is a clear sign of infestation.
  • Chewed or Damaged Ornamental Plants: Some insects target ornamental plants surrounding your property, so watch out for plant damage.

First let me say that I am extremely particular about my lawn! (Golf Course look is my goal)

I hired Groundhogs Lawn Care mid-season after a quick spreading fungus attacked my lawn killing patches within days! My lawn needed immediate attention to rectify!

Groundhog’s Lawn Care did a site visit and after an extensive conversation, I knew I was hiring the right company! Their knowledge of general lawn care / proper fertilization and watering / fungus identification and correction / and aeration and proper seeding was immense!

Groundhogs took a dying lawn and turned it into a luxurious, thick, green envy! I couldn’t believe it!

Their customer service skills are far about the competition! (Old School) They promptly return phone calls, and answer all questions or concerns you have. I have even received callbacks on Sundays!!!

Flexibility is important! They have adjusted their schedule numerous times to fit mine! That’s HUGE and so difficult during the summer season while managing numerous other clients!

I would like to personally thank Heather, Dave, and Alex for making my life so much easier while creating a stunning lawn neighbors are envious over!! :) You are 10 steps ahead of any competition!! Keep up the great work!!!

Deborah

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a 5 star review!
