Turf Wars: Defending Your Yard
Summary
Why let destructive pests invade your home and lawn when you could keep them at bay?Article
Your home and lawn are your own, so why share them with destructive pests?
According to Lance Walheim, Bayer Advanced™ Garden Expert and author of "Lawn Care for Dummies," your yard should be a sanctuary, not a battleground against damaging insects.
Understanding the Pests
There are two main types of destructive pests: those that attack aboveground and those that chew on grass roots. Identifying the right pests is crucial for effective treatment.
Common Pests to Watch Out For:
- Chinch Bugs: Particularly harmful in Southern states, these bugs wreak havoc on St. Augustine grass, with annual control costs exceeding $50 million.
- Mole Crickets: The leading lawn pest along the Gulf Coast, these creatures damage lawns by feeding on roots and extensive tunneling.
- Ticks: Known for spreading Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ticks pose significant health risks. Lyme disease, found mainly in New England and the mid-Atlantic, can lead to chronic arthritis. RMSF is prevalent in the Southeast, causing severe headaches and fatigue.
- White Grubs: These beetle larvae are infamous for turf destruction. Grubs feed on lawn roots in late summer and fall, becoming adult beetles by early summer. Some, like Japanese beetles, damage plants and trees aboveground.
- Fire Ants: Having invaded over 275 million acres in the U.S., fire ants form dense colonies with up to 1,000 mounds per acre, each housing hundreds of thousands of stinging ants.
Effective Pest Control
Bayer Advanced™ Complete Insect Killer for Soil & Turf offers a robust solution, available in both granular and spray forms. It features two active ingredients that target both aboveground and underground pests. The first ingredient kills surface insects on contact, while the second is absorbed by plants and roots, providing three months of underground protection. Importantly, this defense cannot be washed away by rain or water.
Note: For fire ant control, direct mound treatment is recommended with Bayer Advanced™ Complete Insect Killer.
