Everyone loves walking barefoot on a lush, green lawn without seeing unsightly brown patches. Turf-damaging insects can turn a beautiful lawn, which is the envy of all your neighbors, into the neighborhood eyesore. Packer City Turf provides environmentally responsible insect control to keep pests in check, so lawns stay beautiful all year long.
Grubs, sod web worms, and chinch bugs are three of the most common pests that live in Wisconsin lawns, damaging the appearance and harming the grass, too. Grubs eat the roots of the grass, whereas chinch bugs eat blades of grass. Sod web worms, which are the larvae of lawn moths, live in the root level of the lawn and eat grass leaves. Sod web worms can kill an entire lawn in a matter of days, if left untreated.
All of these insects – and other pests – kill the grass and turn a green lawn brown. Plus, lawn insects attract additional pests like raccoons, skunks, and birds. These animals further damage the lawn by uprooting the grass while searching for grubs and other insects. For example, when skunks dig up a lawn, they leave behind unsightly mounds of dirt. Unless the grassy mounds are tamped down, the lawn becomes unattractive and bumpy to walk across.
Hundreds of insect species thrive in Green Bay and the Fox Cities in Wisconsin. Many of the insects are harmless and even beneficial because they pollinate plants, decompose organic matter, and control the population of pest insects. Yet other insect pests aren’t beneficial to landscaping and grass growing. Packer City Turf has the knowledge, training, and expertise to identify insect pests and take appropriate insect-control measures, so lawns thrive.
Packer City Turf treats lawns in the spring and early summer to kill the insect’s eggs before they hatch and prevent insects from infesting the lawn. Additionally, Packer City Turf uses insecticides that eliminate grubs, sod web worms, chinch bugs, bill bugs and other turf-damaging insects. Plus, the insecticide treatments continue to work even after their initial treatment to control insects throughout the growing season
