Insects are an essential part of the ecosystem, but when they invade your lawn, they can do a great deal of damage. Most lawn insects feed directly on the turfgrass blades, causing them to turn brown and die. As their population increases, so does damage to your lawn. If left untreated, some insect infestations can become serious enough that you may need to have portions or all of your lawn removed and replaced. This is an expensive option, but with the help of Benchmark Turf Management, you can keep your lawn healthy and damage-free at a fraction of the cost.
Common Lawn Insects in Florida
Florida is home to many species of insects, including those that feed on lawns. Some of the most common species that Florida homeowners should be aware of include:
Sod Webworms
These tiny worms are gray or brown and can be found in plain view hidden beneath layers of grass clippings. They can cause damage to your lawn by eating small patches of grass. You may also find their fecal pellets intermixed with the webs they produce while feeding on the leaves.
Chinch Bugs
Chinch bugs are small brown insects that feed on the grass during its critical period of growth. They look like little brown beetles and can cause damage to the turf itself. If your lawn has an irregular patch of dead grass, it is a sure sign of chinch bug activity.
Fire Ants
These small red or black ants can quickly become a nuisance when they start to build their mound-like colonies in your yard. Fire ants are aggressive and will sting if threatened, so it is best not to get too close while trying to treat them.
Mole Crickets
Mole crickets are light brown colored insects that look similar to the more common grasshopper. The main characteristic that differentiates them from grasshoppers is their impressive digging skills, allowing them to build tunnels under your lawn’s surface. They feed on the root system of your lawn causing serious damage if left unchecked.
