Turf Insecticides

Turf Insecticides

Turf insecticides help protect lawns, golf courses, athletic fields, sod farms, and commercial landscapes from damaging insects that feed on roots, crowns, stems, and leaf tissue. This collection includes professional insect control products for common turf pests such as white grubs, billbugs, chinch bugs, annual bluegrass weevils, sod webworms, armyworms, cutworms, mole crickets, and crane flies.

What This Collection Includes

This collection includes granular and sprayable insecticides labeled for use in turf and lawn settings. Products may include preventive grub control, curative rescue treatments, systemic insecticides, contact insecticides, and residual products designed to protect turf from feeding damage throughout the growing season.

How to Choose the Right Turf Insecticide

Choose a turf insecticide based on the target pest, timing, application method, and use site. Preventive products are commonly used before or during egg hatch for pests such as white grubs, billbugs, and annual bluegrass weevils, while curative products are often selected when active feeding or visible turf damage is already present. Granular products are convenient for broadcast applications, while liquid and water-dispersible formulations allow more flexible spray coverage.
