Get Rid Of Lawn Pests With Coastal Lawn And Pest

Imagine you've done everything right for your lawn. You've fertilized it. You've set up the appropriate irrigation system. You've controlled the weeds and added more seed and cut back the shrubs to give it sun. Yet it still keeps dying. Don't worry. You've still got your green thumb. Common lawn pests are likely to blame.

Turf-destroying insects can do catastrophic damage to your lawn grass, from yellowing and wilting it to outright killing it. If you’re doing everything you can to keep your lawn healthy, and it’s still failing to thrive, it might be time to start thinking about whether you have an infestation of lawn pests.

The Pests That Can Infest Your Lawn

There are lots of different turf-damaging pests that can give your lawn a tough time. Each of these pests will present with slightly different symptoms. However, many of them have such similar impacts on your lawn that it can be difficult to distinguish what sort of infestation you have. Some of the most common pests and diseases you can get in your Cape Coral lawn include:

  • Chinch bugs
  • Grubs
  • Sod webworms
  • Brown patch fungus
  • Grey leaf spot fungus

You’ll see different signs and symptoms depending on which pest you have. Chinch bugs cause small yellow patches in your lawn that grow larger and eventually interconnect, turning your lawn brown. Grubs cause misshapen dead patches and spongy spots in your lawn. Sod webworms also cause oddly shaped brown spots in your turf, and they can also leave bald patches.

Brown patch fungus, meanwhile, causes light yellow, circular-shaped patches that get larger and spread through your lawn, interconnecting to form huge yellow and brown patches. Grey leaf spot fungus also causes circular “halos” of yellow and brown grass that eventually expand to become huge dead patches.

As you can see, all these pests and diseases present similar symptoms. So for the most effective pest and lawn care services in Cape Coral, you’ll need a professional inspection to determine the exact pests or fungal diseases present and tailor a treatment plan to fit them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Turf-Damaging Insect Control

Most of the time, you can tell if your lawn problems are caused by pests or diseases because the grass begins to die in patches that start out small and spread until they meet in the middle. This is one of the biggest signs that your grass is not suffering from water or fertilizer issues but disease or infestation.
