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.

After the summer, we had SavATee out to look at some struggling trees. They suggested treating our Jackaranda, trimming our Ironwood, removing a couple, and just leaving some others alone. The Ironwood looks amazing, and the Jackaranda is on the mend. Great service! Everyone was professional and courteous.

SavATree did a great job when they recently trimmed our trees for us! Both the arborist doing the consultation and the professionals doing the trimming were great to work with and communicated well with us.

We have worked with SavATree for over 4 years now and we have always been really happy with the services they provide and the job they do. They first helped us pick trees to line our very exposed yard that would help provide privacy year around and also pretty trees that flower in the spring and turn beautiful colors in the fall. They provide a plant health care program that saved a maple...

Just had a great experience working with Mathew and his crew Angel & Jesus to get a few trees pruned. Mathew took the time to go around and discuss what my trees needed. Angel & Jesus did great work including cleaning what they pruned.

Another fantastic job by Monty's crew! Because of their previous tree maintenance, my trees survived a direct hurricane hit. This time they trimmed the dead branches and cleaned up the debris so the trees and yard looks better than ever!

Mr. Amoto (now Mr.Amoto/SavATree) has been my go-to tree company for around 15 years. They’ve taken care of tree trimming and tree removal in hard-to-get-to places. It’s been a pleasure to work with Matt Boyd and his crew over the years.
