Lawn Pest Control

Unexpected brown patches or thinning grass in your lawn? That could signal lurking lawn pests. They love feasting on healthy grass, turning it into unsightly grass that’s vulnerable to diseases, fungi, and extreme weather conditions. They’re an all too common problem in Florida’s hot, humid climate, but luckily, the lawn pest control experts at Sorko Services are on your side.

We’ll eliminate your lawn pests and prevent them from coming back. Call us today to schedule an appointment – or get a free estimate!

Common Florida Lawn Pests

In Florida, the warm climate and lush lawns create a year-round smorgasbord for pests. Some cause minor issues, while others can devastate your lawn if left unchecked. Here’s a breakdown of the most common Florida lawn pests and how much concern each one warrants.

Should You Be Concerned About Pests in Your Lawn?

• Chinch Bugs (5/5 – High Concern): These tiny insects target St. Augustine grass, one of Florida’s most popular turf choices. They suck the life out of your lawn — literally — by feeding on the sap from grass blades. Their resistance to many treatments makes them a nightmare to get rid of with DIY methods.
• Sod Webworms (4/5 – Significant Concern): These larval moths chew through grass blades, leaving behind ugly brown patches. They’re active mostly in the summer and fall.
• Mole Crickets (4/5 – Significant Concern): A double threat, mole crickets damage grass both by feeding on roots and burrowing through the soil. They create an uneven, spongy surface.
• Armyworms (4/5 – Significant Concern): Armyworms can cause extensive damage in a matter of days. Particularly active during Florida’s rainy season, they march through your lawn, devouring grass and leaving bare spots in their wake.
• Grubs (3/5 – Moderate Concern): Grubs live below the surface, feeding on grass roots. While a small number of grubs may only cause minimal damage, an infestation can cause widespread turf loss.
• Fire Ants (3/5 – Moderate Concern): Fire ants don’t directly harm grass, but their mounds are unsightly, and their painful bites make it difficult to enjoy your outdoor space.
• Billbugs (2/5 – Less Concern): These beetles are less common but still cause damage by feeding on grass stems. Early detection can prevent major issues.
• Cutworms (2/5 – Less Concern): Similar to sod webworms but less aggressive, cutworms create small, irregular patches of dead grass and are most active at night.
