Turf-Damaging Pests in Indiana and Ohio
Not all lawn damage is caused by drought or weeds. In many cases, pests are the unseen culprits. From root-feeding grubs to surface-damaging chinch bugs, the pests common in Indiana and Ohio can quietly wreak havoc on an otherwise well-maintained yard.
In West Lafayette and Lafayette, warm-season pests tend to appear mid-summer and stick around into early fall. In Ohio communities like Solon, Twinsburg, and Bedford Heights, varying humidity and rainfall patterns can cause a rise in pests during both spring and late summer. Masadona, with its more temperate conditions, isn’t exempt either—especially when it comes to sub-surface turf pests.
Early signs like yellowing patches, uneven grass height, and sudden die-off are usually the first indicators. Left untreated, infestations can spread quickly, damaging root systems and making lawns more vulnerable to stress and disease.
Our Lawn Pest Control Approach
Mr. B's Lawn Aeration provides a comprehensive lawn pest control service that focuses on prevention, treatment, and recovery. Our technicians begin with a detailed assessment of your lawn to determine pest type, damage level, and soil health. From there, we create a customized treatment plan that uses targeted applications based on the pest lifecycle and your lawn’s condition.
Our treatment programs are designed to eliminate pests while protecting beneficial organisms and minimizing environmental impact. We use both surface and subsurface pest control methods, depending on the species involved. Timing is everything, so treatments are scheduled around periods of peak pest activity for maximum effectiveness.
We also pay close attention to turf recovery—applying proper aftercare to ensure the lawn bounces back quickly, whether that involves nutrient support, aeration, or reseeding.
Common Lawn Pests We Target
Each of the locations we serve sees a different mix of invasive turf pests. Some of the most common species we treat include:
- Grubs - These beetle larvae feed on grassroots, causing widespread lawn death. We target them with soil-applied treatments before they hatch or during early larval stages.
- Chinch Bugs - These surface-feeding insects suck sap from grass blades, causing yellowing and stunted growth. We use contact treatments during peak summer activity to manage infestations.
- Sod Webworms - The larvae of lawn moths, these pests chew on grass blades at night, leaving behind brown patches. We apply targeted insecticides to control active populations.
- Armyworms - These fast-moving caterpillars can destroy large sections of turf in days. We treat infestations immediately to halt the spread and initiate turf recovery.
- Billbugs - These weevils damage turf from both above and below the surface. Our team applies seasonally timed treatments to disrupt their lifecycle and limit lawn stress.
