Common Symptoms of Lawn Pest Infestation

The Southeast’s warm, humid climate makes it susceptible to a variety of turf-damaging insects. Identifying the symptoms and the specific pest is the first step toward effective control.

Lawn pest damage often mimics drought or disease, so look for these specific clues:

Brown or Yellow Patches: Unexplained spots of dead or discolored grass that appear even when the lawn is being watered. These often enlarge over time. If the damage is localized in hot, sunny, or dry areas, it may indicate Chinch Bugs.
Spongy or Loose Turf: The grass feels soft and spongy, or you can easily lift or roll back sections of the turf like a rug. This is a classic sign of Grubs (beetle larvae), as they chew through the grass roots, disconnecting the sod from the soil.
Ragged or Chewed Blades: Grass blades appear chewed off, “window-paned” (outer layer eaten, leaving the inner clear layer), or shredded. This is usually damage from surface feeders like Sod Webworms or Armyworms.
Excessive Digging: Increased activity from birds, skunks, raccoons, or armadillos digging in your lawn. These predators are hunting for a meal of Grubs or Mole Crickets living just below the surface.
Dirt Mounds or Tunnels: Small tunnels or ridges on the soil surface, or distinct mounds of excavated dirt. This indicates tunneling pests, most notably Mole Crickets or Fire Ants (mounds).

Types of Lawn Pests

Grubs

They live beneath the soil and feed directly on the grass roots, causing the turf to die and detach from the soil.

Armyworms, Sod Webworms, Caterpillars

They are surface feeders that can rapidly strip grass blades, turning a lawn brown in just a few days as they “march” across the turf in large groups.

Chinch bugs

They use needle-like mouthparts to suck the moisture/sap from grass blades and inject a toxic substance, causing grass to yellow, brown, and die. They thrive in heat.

Mole crickets

They tunnel beneath the surface, severing the grass roots, and also feed on roots and shoots. Their tunneling creates visible ridges and causes the turf to dry out.

Fire ants and nuisance mound activity

They are a safety hazard due to their painful stings. The mounds themselves can smother and kill the grass directly underneath and their extensive tunneling disrupts the root system.

The Southeast’s warm, humid climate makes it susceptible to a variety of turf-damaging insects. Identifying the symptoms and the specific pest is the first step toward effective control.

Lawn Care Treatments

Lawn Pests Q&A

Are the pest control treatments safe for kids and pets?

We’ll provide clear re-entry guidance after treatment. Always follow the lawn care technician’s instructions for your specific service.

Do I need an ongoing pest control service for my lawn?

Some pests are seasonal; others repeat annually. Many homeowners choose a plan to prevent “surprise outbreaks.”

How do I know if my lawn has a pest infestation?

Brown patches that worsen despite regular watering
Turf that pulls up easily due to damaged roots
Presence of birds, raccoons, or moles digging in the lawn
Grass blades that look chewed or skeletonized
Sudden yellowing or thinning in localized areas

If you notice any of these symptoms, your lawn may be under attack and in need of immediate treatment.

How do I know if the damage is from pests or disease?

Some damage looks the same at first. Inspection and pattern clues (timing, shape, location) help narrow it down fast.

How fast will I see improvement in my lawn?

You’ll typically see damage stop first, then gradual turf recovery depending on season, grass type, and severity.

What are the benefits of professional lawn pest control?

Stops turf damage before it spreads
Improves lawn appearance and uniformity
Protects root systems from long-term harm
Reduces the risk of expensive repairs or reseeding
Enhances the effectiveness of fertilization and weed control

What Is Lawn Pest Control?

Lawn pest control is the practice of identifying, treating, and preventing insect infestations that damage turfgrass from above or below the surface. These pests, ranging from root-feeding grubs to surface-dwelling chinch bugs and armyworms, can cause widespread damage in a short amount of time, leaving behind dead patches, bare spots, and thinning grass.

In the Southeastern U.S., warm temperatures and high humidity create ideal breeding conditions for lawn-damaging insects throughout much of the year. That’s why an integrated pest control strategy is critical to maintaining a healthy, pest-free lawn.

What lawn pests do you treat?

The most common pests are below. See all of the pests in the Lawn Pest Glossary

White Grubs: The larvae of beetles, grubs feed on grass roots, causing turf to lift up like a carpet and die from below.
Chinch Bugs: These insects suck moisture from grass blades, causing yellowing and dry, dead-looking spots.
Armyworms: Known for moving in large groups, they chew through grass blades rapidly, often overnight.
Sod Webworms: Their larvae feed on grass blades, especially in warm-season turf like Bermuda and Zoysia.
Mole Crickets: These burrowers uproot grass and disrupt root systems, leading to soft, spongy areas.

Will pest control treatments hurt my grass?

Treatments are designed to protect turf when applied correctly and at the right rate.
