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 2010?
2009 was a
great year for lawns protected by Easy Acres Lawn Care against
grub and other lawn damaging insects! We had
no cases of noticeable insect damage to any of our treated lawns. The
biggest insect factor going into 2010 involves the cool wet
summer that occurred in 2009. Central Ohio received a
significant amount of rain in Late July/ Early August
2009. Since beetles lay dehydrated eggs in late July
that need moisture to hatch as grubs and
survive, 2009 weather patterns provided an ideal environment for grub survival
in unprotected lawns. This means a greater population of beetles laying more eggs
and the potential for increased grub damage to unprotected
lawns in 2010.
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 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, the narrow treatment window for covering all three pests will be missed, and the overall cost may be greater.
