Insect Control

Seasonal Solutions to Protect Yards

Your landscape represents years of growth, care, and investment, and it doesn't take long for the wrong insects to undo it.

Since 1985, our approach has always been the same: assess the specific conditions of your property, identify what's present or likely to develop, and apply the right treatment at the right time.

Dormant Oil Treatments for Early-Season Protection

Some of the most effective pest control happens before most homeowners even realize pest season has begun. Many damaging insects and their eggs overwinter on trees and shrubs, lying dormant through the cold months and becoming active again as temperatures climb in spring. Dormant oil treatments are applied in late winter or early spring, before that activity begins, to address overwintering insects and their eggs at the source.

Lawn Matters times our dormant oil applications carefully to maximize their effectiveness while minimizing unnecessary disruption to your landscape. By treating early, we help prevent the kind of insect pressure that leads to defoliation, discoloration, and structural damage to your trees and shrubs before it ever has the opportunity to take hold. It's one of the most proactive steps you can take to protect your landscape, and our team handles the timing and application so you don't have to think about it.

Comprehensive Coverage for the Pests That Matter Most

A well-rounded insect control program needs to account for the full range of threats your landscape may face throughout the year, not just the most visible ones. Our complete insect control services are designed to address both the pests you can see and the ones doing damage beneath the surface or out of plain sight.

Our insect control services are designed to target and defend against:

Japanese Beetles. One of the most destructive landscape pests in the region, Japanese beetles feed voraciously on the foliage of a wide range of trees and shrubs, leaving behind skeletonized leaves and significant aesthetic and structural damage if populations go unchecked.
Aphids. These small, soft-bodied insects cluster on new growth and feed by extracting sap from leaves and stems, weakening plants over time and creating conditions favorable to secondary fungal infections and disease.
Mites. Nearly invisible to the naked eye, mites cause stippled, discolored foliage and can spread rapidly through ornamental plantings under hot, dry conditions, leading to premature leaf drop and long-term stress on affected plants.
Scale. Scale insects attach themselves to stems and branches, feeding on plant sap and producing a protective coating that makes them difficult to treat once established. Early intervention is key to preventing widespread damage.

From early-season preventive treatments through the height of summer pest pressure, Lawn Matters provides consistent, layered protection designed to keep your landscape healthy and looking its best throughout the year.
