Florida climate makes a year-round beautiful yard a reality, unlike life in the snowy north. Our warm climate also means that there are a number of insect pests that have all year to multiply and attack your yard. Why waste your weekend fussing with pests? Consider a quality pest control service for your yard – one that visits on a regular basis.
The top pests in our Florida yards are chinch bug, mole crickets, sod web worms, army worms, and grubs. All of these can rapidly destroy a lawn and landscape if not detected and treated early.
Chinch Bug
Chinch bugs are the top pest of St. Augustine grass and have the ability to cause severe damage to residential lawns.
Mole Crickets
These crickets tunnel through soil severing roots and disputing the root systems of healthy lawns and shrubs, not to mention flower beds. Mole crickets are a top pest in throughout Florida.
Sod Web Worms
While they prefer Bermuda grass, sod web worms will attack all grasses and have a tendency to cause severe damage to plants and shrubs as well.
Army Worms
Common on golf courses, these pests also invade residential lawns and other areas where Bermuda grass grows.
Grubs
These fat white to tan worm-like insects are the larvae of various species of beetles. They burrow away underground eating the roots of lawn grasses, trees, shrubs, and flowers.
All of these insects may be at work at the same time. Such insect activity often goes undetected until significant damage has already occurred because insect damage can be mistaken for other problems such as drought or fungal disease.
At Consolidated Pest Control, we have trained professionals that will identify the problem and treat it immediately. We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques that avoid the use of pesticides that may be toxic to you family and pets.
