COMMON PESTS THAT WREAK HAVOC ON YOUR LAWN 

Providing Lawn Insect Control Services in the College Station & Bryan TX Communities

Even the most carefully looked-after lawn can be susceptible to one form of infestation or another. Certain pests can not only damage your lawn but can also cause discomfort and illness. When you notice holes or piles of dirt throughout your lawn, this may point to a possibility of unwanted visitors taking up residence on your property. At Advanced Pest Control, our exterminators are familiar with different signs and patterns that connect to each Bryan or College Station, TX pest and can come up with a game plan in order to complete a successful removal. Whether you are in need of lawn insect control, roach control, or pest control, our team will make sure you are in good hands.


Advanced Pest Control has outlined some of the most common infestations found in the Bryan & College Station area. The following list is in no particular order. 

CHIGGERS

Chiggers can be found in overgrown grassy areas, such as un-kept lawns and fields. Chiggers are tiny, and most likely will be felt before they are seen. Chiggers can cause bites like those of a mosquito. They will most commonly bite the ankle, or the area behind the knee, as this is where your skin tends to be thin. In addition to allowing your lawn to become overgrown, overly fertilizing your lawn can attract chiggers. That’s why it’s best to leave lawn treatments to the professionals. Advanced Pest Control will apply just the right amount of fertilizer to your lawn in College Station, TX or the surrounding areas to ensure it grows thick and remains chigger-free.   

CHINCH BUGS

Chinch bugs prefer sunny dry areas, so their damage can also be mistaken for too much sun and dry conditions. Adequate watering can help keep chinch bugs at bay, but you must be mindful of ensuring the entire lawn is watered evenly. Controlling chinch bugs involves ensuring they are targeted at each point of their life cycle, from egg to adult. 

Fire Ants

These little critters cause lots of pain and headaches for homeowners across the south. They are highly aggressive and pack a painful sting. It’s easy to spot a fire ant infestation, as they build mounds with no opening in the center. There are DIY treatments to rid your lawn of fire ants, but because of their temperament and sting, it’s best to leave it to the professionals. Advanced Pest Control is experienced in eliminating fire ants safely and effectively for College Station homeowners. 

Fleas

Flea infestations can rapidly move from your lawn to your home via pets, clothing, and people. In addition to having an irritating bite, fleas can also transmit several diseases from pets to humans, such as tapeworms and Murine Typhus. Advanced Pest Control can not only remove your flea infestation, they can also assist you with prevention through proper lawn pest control methods. 

Mosquitoes

Most homeowners are aware of basic mosquito control tactics, such as removing sources of stagnant water, but even the most diligent homeowner can’t eliminate every source. Tankless mosquito misting units can help ensure that mosquito populations don’t spring up around your home. The experts at Advanced Pest Control find that homeowners love this option because of its convenience and effectiveness.
