Our curative treatment will eliminate existing chinch bugs.

When you're struggling with a chinch bug infestation, you'll want to get rid of them as quickly as possible. If they're left to their own devices, they can continue to do damage and multiply, killing more and more grass as they go. Our highly-effective curative treatment will eliminate all the existing chinch bugs in your lawn! Our team will be extremely thorough in our application so this will only need to be a one-time treatment on the way to a chinch-bug-free lawn. With them gone, your grass will finally have some relief and be able to start the healing process.


Aeration and overseeding will speed up your lawn's recovery process.

Once your lawn is free of chinch bugs, your lawn will typically recover from the damage that they caused over time. However, we can speed up this process so that you can get back to your pristine lawn ASAP! Our fall aeration treatment will poke tiny holes throughout the soil in your lawn, reducing soil compaction and increasing nutrient access and airflow. With improved nutrient access, your lawn will be able to grow back nice and strong. We pair this with overseeding to take full advantage of those tiny holes, giving fresh grass seed the best possible soil contact and nutrient access so that any bare spots in your lawn can be filled in.


The best prevention is regular lawn care to strengthen your grass.
