Lawn Pest Control in Pembroke Pines, FL

Lawn Pest Control in Pembroke Pines

On the single-family and townhome lots in Pembroke Pines, the St. Augustine lawn is often a compact space framed by the driveway, sidewalk and the house, and those hot, sunny edges are exactly where the southern chinch bug does its damage. Chinch bugs are the number-one killer of St. Augustine grass in South Florida, and on a smaller lawn a patch that starts near the pavement can take over the whole front in a hurry.

Sod webworms chew ragged notches in the blades overnight, and white grubs cut the roots so the turf lifts like loose carpet — each needs a different product and timing, and watering a chinch-bug problem only makes it worse. Correct diagnosis first is the whole job, and on a compact Pembroke Pines lawn it is what keeps a small spot from becoming a full re-sod.

Signs You Have a Problem

• Yellow-to-brown patches that spread and do not green up with watering
• Damage concentrated along the driveway, sidewalk and hot, sunny edges
• Ragged, notched blades and short, chewed-looking patches from sod webworms
• Small moths flying up out of the lawn as you walk it at dusk
• Turf that lifts up easily with little root attachment, a grub sign
• More birds working a patch of the lawn, or visible digging

How Arrest-A-Pest Treats It

1. 1

   Turf diagnosis

   We inspect the edge of the damage and the soil to confirm the actual pest — chinch bug, sod webworm, grub or mole cricket — before anything is applied.

2. 2

   Targeted application

   We apply the correct product for the pest we found, at label rate, and water it in where the label requires.

3. 3

   Cultural correction

   Mowing height, irrigation timing and thatch are why infestations recur, so we give you the specific adjustments for a compact Pembroke Pines lawn.

4. 4

   Recovery monitoring

   We check back to confirm the damage line has stopped and new growth is filling in, which is quick to see on a smaller lawn.

5. 5

   Preventive program

   Recurring lawn service catches chinch-bug flare-ups early, when they are a spot treatment instead of a re-sod.
