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.

The crew was on time, courteous, and cleaned up afterwards. The tree was pruned to my satisfaction.

They have been doing a great job treating our fir trees for the last several years. To be ready for the next wind/ice storm they just cabled the trees together. Angel's crew was great. They did great work and answered all of my questions. Will continue to use SavATree.

Grant, Mikey & Dakota did a fantastic job. SavATree was great to work with. They were punctual, professional & had excellent communication. We won’t be calling anyone else next time our tree needs trimmed.

The crew was great. Luis, the foreman shared insights on his knowledge of tree roots. I have trees that needed replanted to allow for more shade in certain areas of the property and they transplanted them. I am so happy with the results.

I like the year end yard review of grass and trees. Its very proactive. I took advice and had a tree removed as I was told it had a disease and could not be saved. Process was quick and efficient. The only thing that could have given a Five Star rating was to be able to have treated the tree and saved it.

Perfect service, easy to respond, and fast turnaround. We needed a pruning of a tree to comply with city standards. The representative Frank was very nice and did a great job. We compared prices and they had a good estimate.

When Nye's came to my home to give me an estimate, the tree expert listened to my concerns, and gave me a couple of options. He did not pressure me to take the option that would cost me the most. He also gave me the option to have my work done in the winter so save money!! When the team came to trim-up my tree, I was impressed by the promptness and courtesy of the team members. We...

The Tree Mechanics very friendly and kind crew did a spectacular job getting up into the trees and removing the branches that were broken and dead. Then they picked up all the branches and turned them into small pieces with their machine. We highly recommend them for keeping trees healthy.
