When you choose expert lawn pest control services, you have access to a wide range of products and services. Our lawn maintenance teams use the optimal combination of tools to stop existing pest problems and to keep future infestations away from your landscaping. Those methods include:

Lawn-Wide Pest Control Treatments

Some pests are a hazard to your whole landscape. Chinch bugs are a common pest in the Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina area. It likes to infest grasses all throughout the southeast, and it can thrive in South Carolina's most popular grasses. St. Augustine grasses, especially lawns with a thick thatch development, are particularly vulnerable to chinch bugs.

These pests inject toxins into the grass as they suck nutrients from each blade. The combination of toxins and nutrient loss damages the grass. Over time, your lawn can develop yellowing patches and start to die off. Our lawn maintenance experts know how to spot the early warning signs of a chinch bug infestation. Once they confirm their suspicion, they can treat your lawn with insecticide to kill the current infestation of chinch bugs. A second application will kill off a lingering second generation.

Tawny and southern mole crickets can also damage turf near South Carolina’s coast. These invasive pests tunnel into the soil just below the surface, damaging turf roots and making the grass wither. Tawny mole crickets actually eat grass and its roots, which can cause more damage to your lawn. Good lawn care practices can help your grass stand up to excessive stress, and a pest control treatment is even better.

Our pest control teams will monitor the soil for signs of infestations and treat the soil to reduce insect activity. We can schedule applications to target eggs and nymphs so your lawn stays safer from the next year’s generation. If your lawn is facing a high amount of mole cricket activity, we can also apply seasonal treatments. Pest management works better and better over time, so our pest control team will continue to modify and adapt your pest control plans.

Grubs are another common pest that can attack your lawn. Grubs feed on your grass's roots systems. Once the roots are damaged, your grass can't effectively absorb water or nutrients and it will start to brown and wither. Our pest control team can also apply lawn-wide insecticide treatments to get rid of grubs.

Preventative Chemical Treatments and Maintenance

However, grubs and other insects can require more than just a post-infestation insecticide treatment. The best way to keep recurring infestations out of your lawn is through regular applications of preventative insecticides. This longer-lasting shield stops eggs from turning into another grub infestation during the next year.

Spot Treatments and Targeted Applications

If ants or other nesting insects are taking up residence in your yard, our first priority is to get rid of those nests. Our pest control specialists can apply liquid insecticides and granules to kill nests. Not only do these treatments remove the existing nest, but they also prevent the ants from relocating.

Deterring Rodent Infestations

If you have rodents, such as moles, burrowing onto your property, contact us at the first sign of upturned dirt. We can investigate the damage to zero in on the most likely rodent causing the damage. Then we can formulate a preventative plan to remove the rodents' food sources and shelters. We can also use poison and deterrents to keep moles out of your yard and remove other rodents from your property.

If neighborhood rabbits and squirrels are digging up your landscaping, we can also deter them with barriers. Talk to us about constructing rabbit-proof barriers under your fences or sprinkling vulnerable garden beds with chemical repellents.
