We recently engaged this team for our pest control needs. Adam provided an extensive overview of his services and quoted a vastly more competitive rate. After two service calls we're not only impressed by Adam's expertise but the level of service is absolutely astonishing (we're from New York and that's not easily done). They deserve 10 stars and should be everyone's choice for pest care.

Lawn Pest Control That Actually Identifies the Problem
Looking for lawn pest control near me in Southwest Florida, FL? Our nearby lawn pest treatment team eliminates chinch bugs, sod webworms, grubs, army worms, and other turf-destroying insects before they take out entire sections of your yard. Local Southwest Florida service with year-round protection programs. Most SWFL turf damage isn’t drought — it’s bugs. Chinch bugs, sod webworm, armyworm, white grubs, mole crickets. They all leave patterns that look similar to over-watering, under-watering, or fungal disease. Misdiagnose by a week and you’re looking at re-sod instead of a treatment.
The Waves Lawn Care approach starts with a property walk to ID what’s actually happening. Yellow patches that don’t bounce back after watering and have small black-and-white insects at the thatch line? Chinch bugs in St. Augustine. Brown chewed-blade patches on damp/shaded turf? Sod webworm. Spongy spots that lift like loose carpet? Grubs feeding on roots. Each one needs a different product timed to a different life stage.
What’s Included
- Active infestation treatment for chinch bugs, sod webworm, armyworm, fall armyworm, white grubs, mole crickets, fire ants, and turf-grass billbug
- Correct-product matching — pyrethroids for chinch in adult phase, IGRs for sod webworm larva stage, beneficial nematodes for grubs in non-toxic accounts
- Spot-treatment vs. blanket based on actual damage extent, not upselling pressure
- Re-treatment guarantee — if pests return within the program window, we come back free
- Coordination with fertilization timing — some insecticides interact with fertilizer; we sequence applications properly
Why It Matters
Chinch bug damage in St. Augustine spreads outward at a couple feet per week. By the time the patches connect, most of the affected area is unrecoverable — re-sodding cost runs $1.50-3/sq ft installed. Catching it at first appearance is a $50-150 treatment. The window between “noticeable” and “too late” is usually about three weeks.
Bundling with fertilization, weed control, or full pest control drops your total through WaveGuard tiers — Silver (10%), Gold (15%), or Platinum (20%) off.
