Florida’s hot, humid weather is perfect for enjoying the outdoors, but it’s also ideal for lawn pests. These harmful bugs work day and night to destroy your grass.

At Petri Pest Control Services, Inc., our lawn care specialists know exactly what’s going on in your turf. We understand which pests show up each season, where they like to hide, and how to eliminate them before they ruin your landscape. Let us help you protect your outdoor space!
Insects That Damage Pompano Beach Lawns
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes use your lawn and landscaping as their breeding ground. Standing water in bird baths, clogged gutters, or low spots in your yard gives them the perfect place to multiply.
Armyworms
These caterpillars earned their name for good reason. They travel in large numbers, eating grass blades as they go. An armyworm attack can leave your lawn bare almost overnight.
Chinch Bugs
Chinch bugs rank among the worst lawn pests in South Florida. They love St. Augustine grass, and can wipe out large areas of your yard within weeks.
Sod Webworms
Once these caterpillars hatch, they start chewing on grass blades right away. You’ll see small, uneven brown spots across your lawn. They build silk-lined tunnels in the thatch layer where they stay hidden during daylight hours. Short, freshly mowed grass is their favorite target.
Mole Crickets
Mole crickets have strong front legs built for digging. They tunnel under your lawn, ripping up roots and pushing dirt to the surface. This creates raised trails and soft, spongy areas in your turf.
Fire Ants
Fire ants won’t hurt your grass directly, but they build ugly mounds all over your yard. More importantly, they’re dangerous to your family and pets. These aggressive pests attack anything that bothers their nest. Their stings cause burning, itching, and can trigger serious allergic reactions in some people.

What Our Lawn Insect Control Includes
Getting professional lawn pest control is easy. It all starts with learning about your specific yard. When you reach out to Petri Pest Control Services, Inc., we’ll set up a time for one of our technicians to visit your property and do a complete evaluation.
After the evaluation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan just for your lawn. This plan covers all the treatments you’ll need throughout the year, including preventative applications timed to stop seasonal pests before they arrive. Once we finish a treatment, we’ll explain what we did and what results you should expect.
Professional Prevention Services
Stopping lawn pests before they settle in is much easier than getting rid of a full-blown infestation.
At Petri Pest Control Services, Inc., we use systemic slow-release products to prevent common pests like chinch bugs, armyworms, and sod webworms during their most active periods. This method focuses on the root cause of pest problems, not just the visible damage on the surface. Our preventative treatments create ongoing protection that keeps insects away from your turf.
Year-Round Protection for Your Pompano Beach Lawn
In Florida’s climate, pest problems don’t take a break. Different insects become active during different times of the year, so your lawn faces new threats as the seasons change. That’s why consistent, year-round treatment is essential for maintaining healthy, beautiful grass.
With Petri Pest Control Services, Inc.’s lawn pest control program, you’ll have protection through every season. We also stand behind our results. If you’re not satisfied, we’ll make it right.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes professional lawn insect control better than store-bought products?
Products from the store offer some protection, but they have limits. Professional-grade treatments are typically more effective. Plus, proper pest control requires correctly identifying the problem and targeting treatments to match.
How often should my lawn be treated for insects?
Most Florida lawns do best with treatments every six to eight weeks during the active growing season.
Can lawn insects travel between my yard and my neighbor's?
Yes. Lawn insects don’t respect property lines. They move freely between yards looking for food and shelter. If your neighbor has an untreated pest issue, those bugs can easily make their way to your lawn, and the other way around.
How can I tell if my lawn has an insect problem or something else, like fungus or drought?
Look for specific signs of insect activity. Chinch bug damage usually appears first in the hottest, sunniest parts of your lawn, often near sidewalks and driveways. Armyworm and webworm damage leaves grass blades looking ragged and chewed.
That said, the best way to know for sure is to schedule a professional inspection.
