Lawn grubs are basically beetle larvae that feed on your grass roots underground. Around the Fenton area, you'll usually notice grub damage as brown patches that feel spongy when you walk on them, plus the turf pulls up really easy - almost like peeling back carpet. Another dead giveaway is when you start seeing skunks or raccoons tearing up your yard at night because they're digging for those grubs. After treating lawns for a few years now and working with over 300 customers, I've gotten pretty good at spotting grub problems right away. If you're seeing any of these signs, give us a call for a free lawn evaluation.

The secret to grub control is getting them before they become a problem, which means we treat in summer before the eggs even hatch. After working on hundreds of lawns around Fenton and the surrounding areas, I've figured out exactly when our preventative treatments work best for our Missouri climate. Most companies wait until you can already see the damage, but by then you're trying to play catch-up. Our approach protects your lawn for the whole season with just one treatment. Want to stop grub damage before it starts? Give us a call to get your treatment scheduled.

Absolutely! We use pollinator-friendly products that are part of our water-based, not petroleum-based treatment approach. Once the application dries – typically within 1-2 hours – your family and pets can safely return to enjoying your lawn. Our systemic treatment is absorbed by the grass roots, so there's no harmful residue on the surface. This is just one reason why we maintain a 90% customer retention rate. Contact our team to learn more about our safe, effective solutions.

Our grub control works systemically through the grass roots. When applied, the product is absorbed by your lawn's root system, creating a protective barrier that stops grubs as soon as they try to feed. This targeted approach means we're only affecting pest insects that actually damage your lawn, not beneficial insects in your garden. As part of our All-American Lawn Care Program, this preventative grub control is precisely timed with our other treatments for maximum effectiveness. Call us to learn how our complete lawn care approach can protect your lawn from grub damage.

You can definitely grab something off the shelf at the hardware store, but here's the thing - most folks mess up the timing or don't apply it right. After treating hundreds of lawns around Fenton, I know exactly when and how much product your lawn needs. The bigger difference is we prevent grub problems before they happen, while most DIY stuff gets applied after you can already see the damage. That's like putting a bandage on after you're already bleeding. Want to know why over 300 customers trust us to handle their grub control? Give me a call and I'll explain it.

Our preventative treatment protects your lawn for the whole season against new grub damage. The product stays active in your grass root system during the time when grubs are most likely to cause problems. When you combine it with our fertilizer program, your lawn actually gets stronger and more resistant to grub issues over time. For the best protection, I usually recommend adding grub control to one of our lawn care programs. Give us a call and we can talk through what makes sense for your specific lawn.

Yeah, I'd recommend it for lawns around the Missouri area. Since beetles can fly in from anywhere - your neighbor's yard, vacant lots, wherever - even a well-maintained lawn can get hit with grubs without prevention. After working on lawns here for several years now, I've seen that staying ahead of the problem with yearly treatments saves customers a lot of headaches and money down the road. Ready to protect your lawn? Call us and we'll get your grub control scheduled.

Grub damage can really mess up your lawn if you let it go. As they feed on your grass roots, you'll get brown patches that eventually die off, and fixing that kind of damage gets expensive fast. On top of that, you'll probably get skunks and raccoons digging up your yard looking for those grubs, which just makes the whole mess worse. Most of the time, the cost of fixing all that damage costs way more than just preventing it in the first place. Don't wait until you see problems - give us a call now and let's get your lawn protected.

Grubs are those white, C-shaped larvae you might find when you're digging around in your soil. Most of the time, we're dealing with Japanese beetle grubs here in Missouri - these little guys are the baby stage before they turn into Japanese beetles. When you've got adult beetles flying around your property in summer, chances are good they started as larvae in somebody's lawn. Japanese beetles can really take over if you don't stay ahead of them. The problem is, these grubs feed on your grass roots just below the ground, which can really mess up your lawn if you don't control grubs early enough.

There's a few telltale signs that you might need grub control products. If sections of your turf feel spongy when you walk on it, or if you can pull up chunks of grass easily because the roots are damaged, that's usually grubs doing their thing. You might also notice more adult beetles hanging around in late spring and summer - those are the grown-up versions coming back to lay eggs. Birds pecking at your lawn is another giveaway since they're trying to get at the grubs just under the soil surface. We use specific grub control products that target these pests before they can destroy your root system. The cycle continues when those grubs eventually emerge as adult beetles looking for new places to lay eggs.

Timing matters a lot when you want to kill grubs effectively. The best window is typically late spring to early summer, right when the Japanese beetle grubs are still small and feeding close to the surface. That's when treatments work most efficiently. Once those grubs get bigger and burrow deeper, they're harder to reach. We've found that treating for Japanese beetles and their larval stage before they become adult beetles gives you the best results and protects your investment in your lawn.

Safety's always our top priority when we apply any grub control products on your property. The products we use to control grubs meet all state quality standards, and we follow every regulation from the Department of Agriculture. Once the treatment dries on the soil surface, your pets and kids can get back to enjoying the yard. We always let you know exactly when it's safe to return to normal activities. Our approach is designed to be effective against Japanese beetle grubs while being as gentle as possible for your family.

Here's the thing - we stand behind our work with a 100% money back guarantee. If our treatments don't eliminate the problem from your lawn, we'll come back and reassess the situation. Sometimes we discover that what looks like grub damage might actually be something else affecting your grass roots. Either way, if you're not satisfied with our work on your property, we make it right or give you your money back. That's just how we do business here in the Fenton area.
