Lawn & Ornamental Pest Control

A lush South Florida landscape is a year-round investment — and a year-round target. Chinch bugs can turn a healthy St. Augustine lawn into brown patches in a matter of weeks, while whiteflies (including the destructive ficus and rugose spiraling whiteflies) coat hedges and palms in sticky residue and sooty mold. Because our climate never gives these pests a winter break, damage can escalate quickly when they go untreated.

Many homeowners assume a dying lawn or shrub is a watering or fertilizer issue, when the real culprit is an insect infestation. We diagnose what's actually attacking your landscape, then apply targeted treatments to control the pests and protect your investment — keeping your curb appeal intact and your plants healthy.

Common types we treat in South Florida

• Chinch bugs. A top cause of dead, brown patches in St. Augustine lawns, especially in hot, sunny areas. Controlled with targeted lawn treatment.
• Whiteflies. Ficus, rugose spiraling, and other whiteflies infest hedges and palms, leaving sticky honeydew and black sooty mold. Treated to protect ornamentals.
• Lawn caterpillars (sod webworms & armyworms). Chew grass blades and can rapidly thin a lawn, often appearing in late summer and fall.
• Scale, aphids & mealybugs. Sap-feeding pests that weaken shrubs and ornamentals and produce honeydew and sooty mold.
• Mole crickets & grubs. Soil-dwelling pests that damage turf roots, causing spongy, dying patches of lawn.

Signs you may have a problem

• Expanding brown or yellow patches in the lawn
• Sticky residue and black sooty mold on shrubs or palms
• Clouds of tiny white insects when you brush a hedge
• Chewed, thinning grass blades or irregular dead spots
• Spongy turf that lifts easily (root damage)

Our approach

We inspect and correctly diagnose the pest behind the damage — distinguishing insect problems from disease or cultural issues — then apply targeted treatments for the lawn, shrubs, palms, and ornamentals affected. On a recurring schedule we keep destructive populations like chinch bugs and whiteflies in check through the seasons, protecting the health and appearance of your landscape.
