Lawns, especially in urban areas, are excellent pantries for both insects and small animals. Some of these pests do not cause any damage to your lawn and are even beneficial, while others can become a real nightmare for homeowners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By identifying the pest, you will be able to apply the right treatment and make the necessary corrections to make your lawn dense and healthy again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yellow or brown patches, increased presence of birds, skunks or raccoons, grass that lifts up when pulled or does not green up after rain… all these are good reasons to investigate further before the damage is too great.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why do insects come to your home?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hairy chinch bugs, meadow moths, crane flies, grubs, cutworms and more, no one likes to see insects ravaging their garden. When the damage is not caused by the larvae, it is caused by the adults or small animals that come to feed on them leaving your lawn in a mess. Insects most often attack sparse and unhealthy lawns. In order to hatch, the eggs must touch the ground, so it is important to have a good density to avoid infestations. A healthy lawn is also more resistant to various stresses such as drought or weeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
