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.

I’ve used Arborscapes for years now and they always provide fantastic services. Today, Fidel and his crew reviewed the plan with me before they started, got the job done quickly and safely, and did a great job cleaning up after the tree limbs came down. They are my go to company for the health of my trees.

If you need work done on your trees I highly recommend Savatree. We had many dry dead branches on our willow oak in our front yard and they came out and inspected it pretty quickly. Within a week or so a crew was out clearing the dead wood off our tree. Now our tree looks great! The crew was efficient, safe, professional, and courteous. They made sure they got every last bit of dead wood off...

Always appreciate SavATree taking care of the ash tree . So far the treatment to prevent ash borer damage has been working. Taylor relayed that the tree appears healthy.

Took 3 quotes. These guys were at or below the other 2 quotes and it included stump grinding where the others were not. The crew left my yard better than they found it. I didn't have to clean up anything behind them. I thought the tree was substantial in size but they were in and out before noon. Will recommend to anyone.

Chris Glynn and his team are fantastic! We got an appointment and evaluation the day after we called. The work was scheduled and done within a week and the yard left spotless at a very fair price! Strongly recommend!

SavATree was great to work with. Got an appointment for an estimate to spray my scale infested trees. Quote was reasonable. Got an appointment for spraying a two days later, which was quick. The technician came earlier than quoted and was very professional. I would recommend this company to all.

We are incredibly happy with Brian and the entire crew at SavA Tree. Knowledgeable, professional, personable, on-time, considerate of our property while they worked, and neat... I'd go on but it seems like most of the posters say the same things. This was our first time using SavA Tree and we will use them again; and definitely recommend them.

We received our proposal after a thorough walk through of the needs. Two days later Sav A Tree was fertilizing the trees. Within one week we received a second appointment for the tree trimming and removal. I am impressed with their knowledge and responsiveness.

I've used SavATree for many years and have been very pleased. Matthew Sullivan, aborist, spent approximately one hour advising me on trimming and tree removal needed. Aaron and Hector worked efficiently as a team removing 3 large Leyland Cypress and trimming multiple tress. I enjoyed watching these 2 efficiently performing their work while seeming to enjoy the work they do. They did a...
