GRUB/WORM TREATMENT
Grub & Armyworm Control
Protecting Your Lawn from the Pests You Can’t Always See
While weeds are an eyesore, subsurface pests like Grubs and surface-level invaders like Armyworms are a genuine threat to the life of your lawn. These pests don’t just sit there—they eat your grass from the roots up.
At Liberty Turf, we provide proactive protection and rapid-response treatments to stop these “lawn killers” in their tracks.
🛑 The Underground Threat: White Grubs
White grubs are the larvae of beetles (like Japanese Beetles and June Bugs). They live beneath the soil and feed exclusively on the root system of your grass.
Signs of a Grub Infestation:
The “Carpet” Test: If you can pull up a patch of grass like a piece of carpet, it’s a sign that grubs have eaten the roots.
Spongy Soil: Your lawn feels unusually soft or “squishy” when you walk on it.
Animal Activity: Raccoons, skunks, or birds are suddenly digging up your yard to feast on the larvae.
Irregular Brown Patches: Dying sections of grass that don’t green up with watering.
Our Solution: We apply a Preventative Grub Treatment in the early summer. This creates a long-lasting barrier that kills newly hatched grubs before they can grow large enough to damage your roots.
⚔️ The Surface Invaders: Fall Armyworms
Armyworms are the “infantry” of the insect world. They travel in massive groups and can devour an entire healthy lawn in as little as 48 hours. In Georgia, they typically strike in the late summer and early fall.
Watch for These Armyworm Warnings:
The “Moving” Lawn: If you look closely, the grass blades appear to be moving or vibrating.
Rapid Browning: A perfectly green lawn turning brown or grey almost overnight.
Transparent Blades: Grass leaves that look “skeletonized” or chewed on the edges.
Our Solution: Because armyworms move so fast, timing is critical. We offer Fast-Action Curative Sprays that stop the infestation immediately upon contact, saving the remaining healthy turf.
Stop the Damage Before It Starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
In Georgia, the “sweet spot” is typically June or July. This is when the beetle eggs are hatching, and the young larvae are most vulnerable to treatment.
If the damage is caught early, the grass can often recover with proper watering and fertilization. However, if the roots are completely gone, we may recommend Aeration and Overseeding (for Fescue) or specialized care to help your Bermuda/Zoysia fill back in.
Not necessarily. Armyworm “outbreaks” happen every few years depending on weather patterns and migration. We monitor local pest reports in Walton and Gwinnett Counties so we can alert our customers when a threat is imminent.
🛡️ Why Choose Professional Pest Control?
Correct Identification
Many homeowners mistake grub damage for drought or disease. We diagnose the specific pest so we use the right product.
Professional-Grade Residuals
Our treatments stay active in the soil or on the leaf blade much longer than over-the-counter sprays.
Pollinator Safety
We apply our treatments with precision, ensuring we target the lawn-destroying pests while minimizing the impact on beneficial insects like bees.
