Common Turf and Shrub Pests

Common turf and shrub pests can quickly damage your landscape if left unchecked. Chinch bugs, armyworms, grubs, sod webworms, and other lawn pests feed on grass blades and roots, causing brown patches, thinning turf, and visible damage. These pests often strike in warm weather and can spread rapidly. Shrubs are also vulnerable to pests like aphids, scale insects, whiteflies, spider mites, bagworms, and Japanese beetles. These insects suck sap, chew leaves, or defoliate plants, often leaving behind sticky residue, mold, or visible holes in foliage. Early detection and treatment are key to protecting the health and appearance of your lawn and shrubs.
