THERE ARE TWO THINGS YOU SHOUL D
KNOW ABOUT WHITE GRUBS AND LAWN DAMAGING INSECTS IN YOUR LAWN:
1) Contrary to the scare tactics employed by some lawn care companies, there is no certainty that your lawn will have a grub or insect damage problem this year.
2) Those who have ever had a major grub or other damaging insect problem in their lawn never want it to happen again.
WHAT EXACTLY ARE WHITE
GRUBS?
White grubs are the larval stage of various beetles such as Japanese beetle and June beetles. While in the larval stage they can do major damage to lawns by eating the grass roots, actually killing the grass plant. As adult beetles, they become a nuisance in the landscape by eating and skeletonizing favorite plants such as roses. In the fall, grubs in the lawn also attract various wild animals such as skunks and raccoons. These animals do alot of damage to the lawn as they dig looking for a meal.

WHAT IS THE INSECT DAMAGE OUTLOOK FOR 2011?
The
biggest insect factor going into 2011 involves the wet
summer that occurred in 2010. Central Ohio received a
significant amount of rain in Late July/ Early August 2010.
Since beetles lay dehydrated eggs in late July that need moisture
to hatch as grubs and survive, 2010 weather patterns provided
an ideal environment for grub survival in unprotected
lawns. There were many unprotected lawns that were wiped
out by grubs in Central Ohio. As these grubs overwinter and
mature this spring and summer, this means a greater population of
beetles laying more eggs and the potential for increased grub damage
again to unprotected lawns in 2011.
Also, following the early wet spring and summer Central
Ohio experienced extremely hot and dry conditions in late
summer and early fall 2010. This allowed not only
grubs to thrive, the drought conditions masked
the damage done by a second seasonal generation of chinch bugs and
bluegrass billbugs. If lawns were not treated, all of these damaging insects have
overwintered and are ready to do more damage this
spring and summer.
HOW
DOES EASY ACRES CONTROL DAMAGING LAWN INSECTS?
We believe that the best approach is to take a
preventive course of action, and this year we are once
again beefing up our insect control program due to the
increased potential for damage. We are taking advantage of new
products
that are safer than ever before both for your family and the environment,
as well as showing improved results against both grubs
and surface insects. Our grub application will control the grub larvae while they
are still in the very
small stages of development. By doing this we can eliminate the
damage done by these larvae as well as use much more environmentally friendly
products. The active ingredient will also suppress other major pests
such as Bluegrass Billbug and
Chinch Bug thereby eliminating or at least greatly reducing damage done
by them. An added benefit for pet owners is that the
application will also rid your yard of any fleas and ticks
present in the lawn at the time of
treatment.
If you do
not select a "preventive" application and have grub damage, we
can sometimes make a "curative" application to eliminate the pest
(depending on what stage they are in when discovered).
However, this will not address the damage already done, and the
overall cost will be greater when you consider the expense of
repairing the damaged lawn.
Since chinchbugs
and billbugs are known to sometimes have two generations a year, a
second treatment may be required later in the summer if they are
found to have traveled in from an adjacent and untreated
lawn.
WE WARRANTY AGAINST ALL GRUB DAMAGE IF PRODUCT IS APPLIED AND PROPERLY WATERED IN BY JULY 31ST!
