Insect Prevention Services

Northern Virginia summers are beautiful, but they come with uninvited guests. Mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas can turn your backyard into a place you'd rather avoid, and in our area, ticks in particular carry real health risks for your family and pets. Grubs feed on grass roots just below the surface, and by the time you see brown patches in your lawn, the damage is already done.  Mites are tiny but destructive — they feed on grass blades and can cause your lawn to take on a dry, silvery, or scorched appearance, often mistaken for drought stress or disease.

What we treat:

• Mosquitoes — Targeted applications to resting areas like shrubs, ground cover, and shaded spots where mosquitoes hide during the day.
• Ticks — Treatments focused on lawn edges, wooded borders, and leaf litter where ticks are most active.
• Fleas — Coverage for the areas of your yard where pets spend time, reducing flea populations before they become a household problem.
• Gnats — Targeted treatments for gnat activity in your lawn and landscaping, keeping these persistent pests from becoming a nuisance around your home and outdoor spaces.
• Grubs — Our season-long grub control is available as an add-on to your existing program, with a single preventive application that protects your lawn all season before grubs have a chance to take hold.
• Mites - Our mite control treatment is available as an add-on to your existing lawn program, targeting mite infestations before they have a chance to cause lasting damage. 

Treatments are timed seasonally for maximum effectiveness, and as always, applied by the experienced LawnMate crew assigned to your lawn.

Adding insect prevention to your existing LawnMate program is simple — no extra scheduling, no new vendors. Just give us a call or fill out our estimate form and we'll get you set up.
