Lawn Insect & Grub Control in MN & WI
Fight Back Against Lawn-Damaging Insects
Insects can wreak havoc on your lawn, from grubs destroying roots to sod webworms eating leaf blades, causing dead spots in the lawn. Left untreated, insects can attract wildlife that will destroy your lawn further to feed on the insects. The best way to protect your lawn is with preventative treatments that stop insects before they start feeding. If pests are already active, bioLawn offers corrective solutions to halt feeding and minimize further damage. Our eco-conscious approach ensures effective, professional insect control while keeping your lawn safe for your family and pets.
Services to Prevent and Stop Insect Damage
Preventative Grub Control
Preventative treatments, applied May – June, target grubs as they hatch, stopping damage before it starts. bioLawn uses a low-toxicity insecticide with no signal words, ensuring safety and effectiveness.
Curative Grub Control
If grubs are already active, curative applications eliminate them and halt further damage. Note that while treatments will kill the grubs, damage may continue to happen as the grass has previously been weakened. Also, note that existing damage will need to be repaired with seeding or sodding.
Surface Insect Control
Our lawn insect program targets surface-feeding and nuisance insects that damage lawns or create discomfort for families. This program consists of regular treatments throughout the season to control ants, ticks, sod webworms, fall armyworms, chinch bugs and billbugs, during their peek periods effectively.

Lawn Insect FAQs
What insects are damaging my lawn?
There are many common lawn insects we see in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Those include grubs, ants, sod webworms and billbugs among others. Grubs and ants are the most common ones we hear about. To identify which insects are damaging your lawn, please reach out to our office to speak with our agronomist.
How do I know if I have grubs?
Initially, you might notice brown patches of grass, animals feeding on your lawn or grubs while digging in the dirt. If you can pull up a brown patch of grass like carpet, then it is highly likely you have grubs.
When do grubs cause the most damage?
Late summer through early fall is when grub damage is most visible. Grubs can also damage grass in the spring, but it is often less noticeable due to regular rainfall.
Do I need to treat every year for grubs?
If you have identifed a grub problem in the past on your lawn, then we recommend treating for grubs every year. Also, if you want to make sure that you never have a grub problem, then we would recommend treating every year. If you have not had a grub problem in the past or can accept some damage if it happens, then regular grub treatments are not recommended.
What is the difference between preventative and curative grub control?
Preventative treatments stop young grubs before they start feeding, thus preventing any damage. Curative treatments target active feeding grubs and will kill larger grubs in the feeding stage.
Will my lawn recover from grub damage?
Typically, lawns do not recover from grub damage naturally. Brown spots caused by grubs will either need to be seeded or sodded to recover.
Do ants damage grass?
Ants generally do not feed on the grass, so they don’t directly damage grass. However, ant mounds can smother the grass below. Additionally, significant ant tunneling can weaken the soil below making the lawn feel lumpy.
