Lawn pest and disease control in Winter Garden
Chinch bugs, sod webworm and brown patch look alike from the curb. We identify which one it is before anything is sprayed.
What’s included
What a pest and disease visit covers
Most brown grass in Florida is not an insect and not a disease. That’s why we look before we treat.
- On-site check for chinch bugs, webworm, grubs and fungus
- Spot treatment of the affected area only
- Shrub pests like scale and whitefly on ixora and hibiscus
- The cultural fix: watering time, cut height or drainage

How we do it
How we tell the three apart
Chinch bugs
Yellow then straw-brown patches in the hottest, driest strip, usually along the driveway or sidewalk, spreading in summer.
Brown patch and large patch
Rings or circles that show up in cool, wet weather, often where the sprinklers run in the evening.
Sod webworm
Notched, chewed blades and small moths at dusk. It moves fast in late summer and needs a quick, targeted treatment.

Questions
Lawn pest & disease questions
Why is my lawn browning in patches?
Three things look identical from the curb: chinch bugs in the hot dry strip, brown patch in rings during cool wet weather, and drought stress from cutting too short. Each needs a different fix, so nothing is sprayed before we know which.
Can I send a photo first?
Yes. Send a photo of the brown spot in the chat and we’ll tell you what we see. A confirmed diagnosis still needs someone to look at the grass itself.
Do you spray the whole yard on a schedule?
No. If nothing is wrong, nothing is applied, and your yard card says so.
Will it come back?
Less often once the cause is fixed. Brown patch loves evening watering; chinch bugs love a lawn cut short and drought-stressed.
