Controlling Summer Lawn Pests Before They Spread

By July, your lawn may be facing threats from a variety of summer pests. Grubs, chinch bugs, armyworms, and other insects thrive in warm weather and can quickly destroy turf if left untreated. These pests feed on grass roots or blades, causing brown patches, wilting, and thinning areas. One of the first signs of infestation is grass that lifts easily from the soil or develops irregular brown spots. The earlier you detect an issue, the easier and more affordable it is to manage.

At EverGreen Lawns, we offer targeted pest control treatments that address common Ohio lawn insects without harming your grass, pets, or children. Our technicians know how to identify insect activity and choose the right treatment based on the type and severity of infestation. For example, grub control treatments in mid-summer can prevent root damage before it spreads. Proactive monitoring and treatment now can save your lawn from extensive repair work later in the season.

In addition to treatment, we help homeowners make adjustments that naturally deter pests, such as improving drainage, avoiding overwatering, and mowing properly to prevent habitat buildup. Pest control is not just about eliminating bugs; it’s about creating a stronger, healthier lawn that resists invasion in the first place. July is a critical time to stay ahead of infestations, and we’re here to help with professional service and proven results. Don’t let lawn pests undo your hard work, contact EverGreen Lawns for a mid-season checkup today.
