Lawn Pest Control: Identify and Eliminate Above- and Below-Ground Threats

Your lawn faces two pest categories: surface feeders (chinch bugs, ticks, fire ants) and root attackers (mole crickets, white grubs). Correct ID drives effective treatment.

Key Pests

• Chinch bugs: #1 St. Augustine grass killer in the South. $50M+ spent annually on control.
• Mole crickets: Gulf Coast menace—tunnel and eat roots.
• Ticks: Carry Lyme disease (Northeast/Mid-Atlantic) and Rocky Mountain spotted fever (Southeast).
• White grubs: Beetle larvae destroy turf roots; adults (Japanese beetles) skeletonize leaves above.
• Fire ants: 275M+ US acres infested; mounds up to 1,000/acre.

Integrated Solution

Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer for Soil & Turf combines a contact killer for surface pests with a systemic absorbed by roots for 3-month underground protection. Rainproof. For fire ants, mound treatment only.

Match the product to the pest, and reclaim your lawn.
