Outdoor Pest Control

Grubs are the white, C-shaped larvae of beetles that live beneath your grass and feed on grassroots. In Woodstock and surrounding Cherokee County neighborhoods, grub infestations often appear as soft, brown patches of turf that peel up easily. Because these pests sever the roots, your lawn quickly weakens and dies from the bottom up. Allatoona Turf’s grub control treatments in Woodstock, GA eliminate larvae before they hatch and restore your lawn’s root strength.

Fall armyworms are one of the fastest-spreading lawn pests in North Georgia. They move in waves across yards, feeding on grass blades until only bare stems remain. Many homeowners in Woodstock and Canton wake up to lawns that look burned or scalped after just a few nights of feeding. Our armyworm prevention program targets eggs and larvae early in the season, stopping these insects before they can wipe out your turf.

Billbugs are small beetles whose larvae tunnel inside grass stems and roots. You may not notice them until your turf turns thin or patchy despite watering and fertilization. Their hidden feeding weakens grass from within, leading to dead spots and drought stress. At Allatoona Turf, we identify billbug activity through soil inspection and apply Cherokee County-specific pest treatments timed for maximum effectiveness.

Fire ants thrive in the red clay soils of North Georgia, building large dirt mounds that damage lawns and endanger families. Their painful stings can cause allergic reactions in people and pets, and their colonies expand rapidly after rain. Our fire ant control in Woodstock, GA uses precision treatments that destroy the mound and the queen, ensuring long-term protection and safe outdoor living spaces.

Spittlebugs create tiny white foam bubbles on grass blades — a sign they’re sucking nutrients from your turf. While common throughout Cherokee County, large infestations can discolor lawns and weaken growth during hot, humid months. Allatoona Turf’s spittlebug control program removes these insects before they stress your lawn, keeping your yard green and uniform all summer long.

In North Georgia’s shaded, wooded neighborhoods, fleas and ticks thrive in tall grass and around property edges. They latch onto pets and wildlife, spreading diseases like Lyme and tapeworm. Our outdoor flea and tick barrier treatments in Woodstock GA protect your family and pets by creating a safe, chemical-balanced shield around your lawn and landscape.

Beyond the common culprits, homeowners across Cherokee and Bartow Counties may encounter chiggers, gnats, sod webworms, and mosquitoes. These pests bite, irritate, or damage your grass and shrubs. Allatoona Turf’s integrated outdoor pest management program monitors seasonal trends in North Georgia to stop infestations before they begin — keeping your yard beautiful, healthy, and worry-free.
