How Professional Insect Control Keeps Your Lawn Pest-Free and Healthy

If your lawn suddenly starts thinning, yellowing, or feels spongy underfoot, pests might be the hidden cause. Common lawn insects—like chinch bugs, armyworms, and grubs—can destroy grass roots and leave unsightly brown patches in days. Professional insect control is the key to keeping your yard lush, strong, and pest-free.

At Anointed Lawn Care, we don’t just kill insects—we manage your lawn’s health to prevent them from coming back.

Why Lawn Insects Are So Damaging

Lawn insects feed on grass blades, roots, and stems, interrupting essential nutrient flow. Texas lawns, in particular, are vulnerable due to the region’s warm climate and long growing season.

Without insect control, pests can:

• Cause large brown or dead patches.
• Attract birds and animals digging for grubs.
• Weaken grass roots, making lawns more prone to drought.
• Spread diseases and fungus.

By the time damage is visible, the infestation is usually well underway. Early detection and preventive treatments make all the difference.

Common Lawn Pests in Texas

Here are the most common insects that damage lawns in the area:

1. Chinch Bugs – Thrive in hot, sunny areas and cause yellow-brown spots that spread quickly.
2. Armyworms – Feed on grass blades, often creating a “scorched” look.
3. Grubs – Feed on roots underground, leading to soft, spongy patches.
4. Fire Ants – Build mounds and pose risks to children and pets.
5. Sod Webworms – Chew grass blades and create thinning areas overnight.

Each pest requires a specific treatment strategy—one reason professional lawn insect control is essential.

Signs You Need Insect Control

If your lawn isn’t responding to fertilization or watering, pests may be to blame. Watch for:

• Dead spots that spread rapidly.
• Increased bird or animal activity.
• Mounds or soft soil.
• Grass that easily pulls up from the roots.

Ignoring these signs can lead to extensive damage that’s costly to repair.

Why Choose Professional Insect Control

DIY products often provide short-term relief but don’t eliminate the problem completely. Professional treatment ensures:

• Accurate diagnosis of pest species.
• Safe, effective products that won’t harm your lawn.
• Long-term prevention instead of repeated outbreaks.
• Healthier soil and grass resilience year-round.

Expert care saves time, money, and frustration—while restoring your lawn’s beauty faster.

Prevention Tips for Homeowners

In between professional treatments, you can help keep pests away by:

• Avoiding overwatering (standing water attracts insects).
• Mowing regularly and keeping grass at the right height.
• Removing thatch buildup with core aeration.
• Scheduling seasonal inspections for early detection.

A balanced maintenance routine makes your lawn less attractive to pests and more resistant to damage.
