There are several turf insects that can create severe damage in your lawn. Some of the common ones in North Carolina and South Carolina are White Grubs, Fall Army Worms, Sod Web Worm, Hunting Billbugs and Sugar Cane Beetles. Many times property owners do not identify insect damage correctly confusing it with disease or other types of stress.

Fire ant colonies are normally found in warm sunny places such as lawns, landscape beds, along pavement cracks, around trees and shrubs and against buildings. If disturbed, they turn aggressive and deliver extremely painful and sometimes life threatening stings. At Fairway Green, our Lawn Care professionals are well versed in dealing with Fire Ant problems and infestations. We can assess your property and offer a Fire Ant Control treatment that is guaranteed to keep your lawn free of fire ants for up to a year.
Most of the white grubs found in the Transitional Zone are from Japanese Beetles, the Northern and Southern Masked Schafer and June Beetles. However, the Japanese beetle tends to be the one creating the most damage to lawns and landscapes. White grub species that exist in North Carolina and South Carolina, including the Japanese beetle, have a life cycle of one year, of which 10 months is spent under your lawn. Grubs feed on the root system of plants and sometimes decaying organic matter at the root zone. Grub damage is often hard to detect because of their underground activity.
