The Ultimate Guide to Preventing Lawn Pests
Preventing Lawn Pests
Florida lawns are beautiful—but also a favorite hangout for pests like chinch bugs, armyworms, mole crickets, and grubs. These unwanted visitors can quickly damage your grass if left unchecked.
Common Florida Lawn Pests:
- Chinch Bugs: Suck the juices out of grass blades, leaving yellow or brown patches.
- Armyworms: Feed on turfgrass blades, creating ragged patches overnight.
- Mole Crickets: Tunnel underground, uprooting grass and causing thinning.
- Grubs: Feed on grass roots, leading to soft, spongy turf.
Prevention Tips:
- Keep grass healthy with proper watering and mowing
- Avoid over-fertilizing, which attracts pests
- Inspect regularly for early signs of damage
