Grubs and armyworms can damage healthy turf quickly. Hippo Turf Care provides targeted lawn insect treatments designed to stop active damage and help protect your lawn from future outbreaks.
Lawn insects can cause rapid damage, especially during warm weather. If your grass is thinning, turning brown, or pulling up easily, it may be time to have the lawn checked.
Treat active grub and armyworm problems before damage spreads.
Help protect grass roots and healthy turf from destructive feeding.
Identify signs of insect activity before larger areas are affected.
Seasonal treatments can help reduce the risk of future damage.
Both can cause serious turf damage, but the signs often look different. Knowing what to watch for can help you catch the problem earlier.
Grubs live beneath the soil and feed on grass roots. As the root system becomes damaged, the turf may thin, brown out, or separate easily from the soil.
Armyworms feed above ground and can move quickly across a lawn. Heavy activity may cause green turf to appear chewed, thin, or brown in a short period of time.
Not every brown patch is caused by insects, but these are common warning signs worth paying attention to.
Healthy-looking turf may begin turning brown or thinning faster than normal.
Root damage from grubs can cause turf to separate from the soil with little resistance.
Armyworm feeding may leave blades looking clipped, chewed, or unusually thin.
Increased digging activity may be a sign that insects are present beneath the soil.
Rapid expansion of stressed turf can be a strong indicator of active insect pressure.
A noticeable decline without an obvious watering or mowing issue deserves a closer look.
The goal is to identify the problem, treat active insect pressure, and help protect healthy turf before more of the lawn is affected.
We evaluate the lawn and look for signs of grub or armyworm activity.
We determine whether insects are contributing to the turf damage.
A targeted treatment is applied based on the problem and lawn conditions.
Preventive options may be recommended to help reduce future insect damage.
Preventive applications are designed to help protect lawns before damaging insect populations become established.
Corrective applications are used when damaging insect activity is already present and the lawn needs immediate attention.
Common signs include thinning turf, brown areas, grass that pulls up easily, and increased bird or animal activity in the lawn.
Armyworm damage can develop quickly when populations are high, which is why sudden changes in turf appearance should be investigated as soon as possible.
Recovery depends on how severe the damage is and the overall health of the lawn. Light damage may recover with proper care, while heavily damaged areas may require additional repair or renovation.
Hippo Turf Care includes grub and armyworm control as part of its 8-round and 12-round turf care programs.
If you suspect active insect damage, earlier evaluation is usually better. Waiting may allow damage to spread to additional areas of the lawn.
If you're seeing sudden brown patches, thinning turf, or signs of insect activity, let Hippo Turf Care take a closer look.
