Protect Your Lawn From Chinch Bugs, Armyworms, Sod Webworms & Grubs

At Lawn Control Center, we stop the damage at the source and restore thick, green grass you can enjoy without stress.

The Silent Invaders in Your Lawn
Pest damage can look like drought or thinning turf, but beneath the surface, insects are feeding and spreading.
Left untreated, they weaken grass and leave bare patches that make your lawn less enjoyable. The good news? With timely treatment and recovery care, your yard can return to the lush, worry-free space your family and pets love spending time in.

The Big Four Lawn Pests We Treat Most in Ohio
Chinch Bug Control
Chinch bugs suck the life out of grass, leaving yellow and brown patches that spread fast. Our treatments stop them quickly so your lawn regains its rich green color — soft, even turf your family can enjoy again.
Armyworm Control
Armyworms can strip lawns almost overnight. We act fast to halt the damage and protect your turf, giving you back a lawn that’s safe for games, gatherings, and worry-free evenings outside.
Sod Webworm Control
Webworms chew grass down to the crown, leaving thin, uneven patches. Our treatments break the cycle so your lawn recovers — lush, green, and ready for barefoot summer fun.
Grub Control
Grubs eat grassroots underground, causing turf to loosen and die. We target them below the surface, then help your lawn bounce back thicker and stronger — a lush green backdrop you’ll love coming home to.
