Surface Feeding Insect Control in PA
Surface feeding insect control can be vital to maintaining and protecting your lawn. Surface feeding insects can be very hard to predict. These types of insects can multiply rapidly despite their short life span.
Surface feeding insects feed above ground on blades of grass. This is in contrast to other lawn pests, like grubs, that are sub surface feeders.
Nature usually provides a balance between insects, natural predators and food supply. But if anything – like, say, a shift in the weather pattern – happens to alter that balance, insect populations increase and can start to cause significant damage. Insect damage is especially bad in small, dry or weed-infested lawns.

Important Factors of Surface Insect Control
Surface feeding Insect control programs can begin after early signs of damage have been detected or when large numbers of insects are found on the lawn. Because certain insects can only be regulated at certain periods in their life cycle, it’s important to know:
- The insect that caused the damage.
- The life cycle of that insect.
- The level of infestation.
