We’re here to help with all your lawn & turf service needs.

Effective & Reliable Insect Control

Lawn insects typically feed in two different ways. Grubs feed below ground on the roots and Chinch bugs and Sod Webworms feed on the actual grass blades above ground. Occasionally Fall Armyworms also feed on your lawn and cause damage. Our experts will properly identify the pest and develop a sustainable management plan.

Our lawn care team utilizes preventative and curative treatments when needed and applied effectively at the proper time. Timely treatments are critical to manage and protect your lawn from turf destroying insects. Our comprehensive lawn care program will effectively manage these pests so that you can have a lush green lawn!

Tick Control

Our effective tick control program is important in protecting your family’s health without compromising your property. Ticks are more than just a nuisance – they can carry dangerous diseases that can be passed between people and pets and should not be taken lightly. We also provide an 100% organic option treatment to deter ticks from your outdoor spaces.

Deer & mice are primary carriers of ticks. We provide safe deer repellent applications to deter deer. We also have tubes to control ticks feeding on mice. These tick tubes are filled with cotton containing insecticide, which kills the ticks and leaves the mice unharmed.

Mosquito Control

Not only do mosquitoes wreak havoc on outdoor summer gatherings and barbeques, but they can also spread dangerous viruses such as Zika, West Nile and more. With the increasing prevalence of diseases like these, it is more important than ever to take precautionary measures to keep your family safe from the dangers of mosquitoes. Our comprehensive approach is best suited for any yard size, with our professional spray treatments that will leave the area insect-free. Our team of experienced professionals use up-to-date equipment and techniques in order to protect your family and home from mosquitoes.

Our mosquito control program provides targeted treatments every 3 to 4 weeks starting in late Spring and continuing through late Fall, as needed.

Common Lawn Insects

Insects You Can Find Throughout Bucks County, PA

Billbugs

Billbug larvae damage grass roots and stems, causing wilted, straw-colored patches that resemble drought stress.

Chinch-Bug-20210624034216

Chinch Bug

Chinch bugs pierce grass blades with their mouthparts and suck out the sap, which withers the grass. They also release a substance that blocks the plant's vascular system, preventing it from drawing up moisture and nutrients.

Cutworms

Cutworms chew through grass blades near the soil surface, leaving thin or bare patches across the lawn.

European Crane Fly Larvae

These larvae feed on grass roots and crowns, causing thinning turf and dead patches, particularly in cool-season lawns.

Fall Armyworm

These insects are striped greyish-green caterpillars with dark-brown to black heads with a strong preference for feeding on grasses. They can damage crops and plants.

Mole Crickets

Mole crickets tunnel beneath the soil, damaging roots and creating raised tunnels and dying grass.

Sod Webworm

Larvae live inside silken tunnels that they build at the base of grass plants. Larvae clip grass blades and drag them into the tunnels, causing an immediate thinness in the feeding area.
