Insect & Grub Management

We care for what you love

Lawn Insect & Grub Control Services

Grubs and damaging insects can undermine even the healthiest of landscapes. As if they weren’t enough of a challenge on their own, the presence of grubs in your soil can attract skunks, and other animals that will tear up your lawn looking to feed on them. If an infestation already exists on your lawn, SavATree’s lawn specialists will identify the pests present, and recommend the best treatment for that species. And to help head off a future infestation, they will also develop a comprehensive lawn care program that includes insect and/or grub management.

Step One: Proper Identification by Experts

There are a variety of insects and grubs that feed on the roots and blades of grass, sometimes producing results that look very similar to lawn diseases. And as with diseases, the symptoms can be difficult to diagnose unless you know what to look for – and our SavATree lawn specialists do. Their accurate diagnosis is a critical first step in creating an effective management plan. Learn more about our lawn disease treatment services.

Effective, Timely, and Responsible Treatments

Your SavATree lawn specialist has extensive knowledge and experience treating common lawn insects and grubs. Your specialist will inspect your turf regularly in order to spot unwanted insect populations early. They will then recommend an effective insect management program that also addresses your personal preferences.

To optimize insect and grub management in your lawn throughout the year, your arborist may recommend a program that integrates curative treatments as well as preventive measures – all carefully timed to the seasonal life cycles of the pests.

When we select the technical materials used in our insect and grub control services, we consult the Environmental Impact Quotient (EIQ) – a formula and data source created by The New York State Integrated Pest Management Program at Cornell University. The EIQ shows us the environmental and health impacts of available products and ingredients. Armed with that information, we are able to make responsible choices in optimizing the health of your lawn.

Professional lawn care can help you achieve thick, healthy turf with vibrant color. SavATree’s lawn experts are ready to help, whether you need to treat your existing lawn for insects and grubs, have challenges growing grass, or just want to learn more about SavATree service options.

The crew arrived on time and handled a large challenging tree safely and quickly. I was glad to see they brought all the right equipment and had no issues. They also took care to make sure the area was cleaned up well before leaving. I will definitely contact Edgar at Save-A-Tree again for future tree issues.

Lorianne Brunsch just came out to my house to examine my 100 or old Oak that was definitely in need of some maintenance. She is incredibly knowledgeable, puts my fears to rest that it might be time to bring my beloved tree down. Just a "haircut" is all its going to need. She also looked at a couple other trees that I have, gave me some options on giving them some love as well. 100% endorse her!!

If they had any questions they asked my opinion. It was the perfect...

Just wanted to say what an impressive job Juan Ziaulacia did. We are on Forest Glen in Weatherford and this was the first opportunity I've had to watch your folks at work. He very meticulously treated the affected trees with many injections under the canopy of each tree. He also took the time to explain in detail what the treatment covered. Bottom line: Our trees look healthy and much better...

We have had multiple positive experiences with SavATree. Michael Gunther has been out to look at our Ash tree and also a lawn issue we had. He was on time, respectful, and knowledgeable. The treatment he recommended for our Ash saved it! We were so worried it would need to be cut down. Thank you for your expertise!
