Any property that has a history or suspect a history of grub damage are recommended for treatment. In Illinois, the Japanese Beetle and Masked Chafers are the most active grubs. Feeding damage from grubs is most often noticed in the late summer and early fall. This is why treatment in early summer is critical to suppressing grubs and the damage they can cause.Often times damaged goes unnoticed until it is too late and a complete renovation is necessary for damaged areas of turf.

Fungal Suppression

Diseases of lawns can wreak havoc.In every lawn, there are hundreds of varieties of disease spores and any given time. Most are harmless or even beneficial to the health of your lawn. However, the fungal spores responsible for damaging a lawn can spread quickly and damage large sections of lawn. For a damaging fungus to become active in your lawn, it must exist under the right environment.

• Cool weather diseases –Snow Mold and Leaf Spots
