Pest control is an integral part of lawn care. Effective lawn pest control can not only protect your turf from damage by pests and insects, but also keep your home free from them.
If you are a lawn owner in Des Moines or any of Iowa, a reputed lawncare company like All American Turf Beauty (AATB) can help you keep pests and insects at bay with their effective pest control treatments.
Lawn Pest Control in Des Moines, Iowa
The following are some of the pests and insects that commonly trouble Des Moines, Iowa lawns:
1. Sod Webworm
These common lawn pests have colors that range from green to reddish-brown. Sod webworms are the larvae of Crambus moths that inhabit Northern regions of the US and most of southern Canada. These pests usually appear in the summer or during the fall lawncare session. These native species of North America can greatly damage lawn turf.
How to control Sod Webworms?
Sod webworms cannot be effectively dealt with using chemicals. Lawn care experts in Iowa prefer the use of biological agents to control these lawn pests. Some effective options are Nosema with parasitic nematodes such as Steinernema carpocapsae. Organic lawn pest control is the best approach to save lawn grass from these pests.

2. Japanese Beetles (Grubs)
Japanese Beetle grubs occur in most regions of eastern USA. Compared to Sod Webworm, Grubs are bigger and white, and more difficult to find. They can be found at the time of re-sodding before fall lawn care. As larvae, these pests devour the lawn grassroots and as adult beetles, they damage most plants.
How to Control Japanese Beetles
The most effective way of dealing with these lawn grubs is using the bacterium Paenibacillus popilliae. These bacteria can result in a fatal disease known as ‘Milky Spore Disease’ that can destroy these lawn pests easily. Our lawn care experts in Des Moines, Iowa, employ home-safe chemicals such as Trichlorfon for lawn grub treatment. Another insecticide that is effective for Japanese Beetle grub control is Chlorantraniliprole.
