Insect & Disease Control

Preventative and curative treatments that protect your lawn before and after problems strike.

← Back to theyardhogs.com

A beautiful lawn can be destroyed in days by grub worms, army worms, or fungal disease. Our Insect & Disease Control program uses a preventative approach — so you're protected before the damage starts, not reacting after the fact.

"Replacing a lawn costs thousands. Preventing the problem costs a fraction of that. This program pays for itself the first time it stops a grub infestation or army worm outbreak."

What's Included — 4 Applications Per Year

Why Prevention Beats Reaction

🪲

Grub Worms

Grub worms eat grass roots underground. By the time you see dead patches, the damage is done. A single preventative application in early summer stops them before they hatch.

🪖

Army Worms

Army worm infestations can strip a lawn bare in 72 hours. We monitor for outbreak conditions and treat immediately — included at no additional charge.

🍄

Lawn Fungus

Brown patch and dollar spot thrive in Arkansas's humid summers. Preventative fungicide applications keep your lawn clean through the hottest months.

🐛

Surface Insects

Chinch bugs and other surface feeders cause irregular dead spots that are often misdiagnosed as drought stress. We identify and treat correctly the first time.

Common Questions

What lawn diseases are common in Arkansas?
Brown patch, dollar spot, and gray leaf spot are the most common — all thrive in central Arkansas's hot, humid summers. Brown patch can kill large sections of Bermuda or Zoysia grass overnight when nighttime temps stay above 70°F.
How do I know if my lawn has grubs or chinch bugs?
Grub damage shows as irregular brown patches where turf lifts up like a loose carpet — grubs eat roots just below the surface. Chinch bug damage spreads outward from sunny areas and is worst in July and August. Not sure? Call and we'll take a look.
When is the right time to treat for grubs in Arkansas?
Preventive grub treatments are most effective May through June, before eggs hatch and young grubs start feeding near the surface. Waiting until damage is visible means the grubs are already larger and deeper — harder to control.
What causes yellow or brown patches in my lawn?
Possible causes include fungal disease, insect damage, drought stress, or chemical burn — and they require different treatments. Getting a correct diagnosis first is critical. Call 501-416-7314 and we'll identify what's actually going on.
Can lawn disease spread from one yard to another?
Diseases like brown patch can spread via water movement and equipment, but most spread is driven by local conditions in each lawn — poor airflow, over-watering, or low turf health. Treating quickly and improving soil health through aeration and fertilization limits spread.
