Is lawn pest control worth it?

Lawn pest control is often worth it because insects and grubs can quietly destroy turf roots and blades before you notice visible damage. When populations spike, you can see brown patches, thinning grass, and bare spots that are expensive and time-consuming to fix. A proactive pest control program helps protect your investment in fertilization, irrigation, and mowing by keeping damaging insects below problem levels. In central Oklahoma, pests like grubs and armyworms can move fast, especially in stressed lawns. Professional treatments are carefully timed and targeted, so you are not blanketing the yard with unnecessary chemicals. Over time, this approach usually costs less than replacing large sections of damaged turf.
