When and how to treat turf pests?

Most turf pests are prominent during the late summer and early autumn period, although it is possible for this period to be extended due to weather conditions. There are no specific periods when you can not apply an insecticide, apart from when the ground is frozen or waterlogged so check with your TruGreen representative as to the best course of action. Most cases of turf pests will require the lawn spraying with an insecticide and you are recommended to have a number of applications to resolve the problem.

When can you treat turf pests

  • 12 months of the year.
  • Summer to autumn. (Preventative measures)
