Those Aren't Just Brown Spots.
They're SOS Signals.
Tampa Bay’s climate creates the perfect storm for lawn pests. That patchy, thinning grass isn’t just stressed. It’s under attack.
The longer lawn pests go untreated, the more damage they cause and the more difficult they become to control. GB Grow’s lawn pest control services identify and eliminate the specific invaders compromising your yard’s health and appearance.
Signs Your Lawn has been Damaged by Pests:
Brown patches that keep spreading despite regular watering
Grass that pulls up easily like a loose carpet
Spongy areas
Small tunnels or trails running through your lawn
Birds suddenly pecking at specific areas of your yard
Tiny moths flying up when you walk across the grass
Dirt mounds appearing mysteriously overnight
The Pests Destroying Your Lawn
Chinch Bugs
Ants
Our complete ant control service targets multiple invasive species: painful stinging fire ants with their aggressive defense, tiny ghost ants establishing multiple satellite colonies, big-headed ants creating damaging soil piles along hardscapes, and carpenter ants that establish outdoor colonies before potentially moving indoors.
Our multi-targeted approach eliminates visible mounds and creates protective barriers against new colonies.
Mole Crickets
Grub Worms
Finding white, C-shaped larvae in your soil means trouble. These beetle babies feast on grass, disconnecting your lawn from its water supply and creating dead patches that lift up easily when pulled.
Our comprehensive lawn pest control program addresses current infestations while establishing protective barriers against future invasions, saving you from the cycle of damage and recovery.

Flea & Tick Control
Our warm, humid climate creates ideal breeding conditions for fleas and ticks year-round. These pests carry serious diseases that threaten both humans and pets.
Outdoor flea and tick control services create protective barriers around your property, targeting these pests where they live and breed before they can reach your family:
Yard-wide protection that treats lawn areas, ornamental beds, and perimeter zones
Targeted applications focusing on shaded areas, pet paths, and wildlife entry points
Quarterly preventative treatments timed to interrupt reproductive cycles
Pet-safe formulations
Unlike indoor treatments that only address part of the problem, our outdoor flea and tick control eliminates these pests at their source, creating a protective zone around your entire property.
Schedule flea and tick treatments alongside your regular lawn maintenance for maximum protection and convenience.

Your Year-Round Pest Defense
Unlike northern states where winter freezes reset pest populations, our warm climate means lawn destroyers never take a vacation. Our strategic quarterly treatment schedule is designed specifically for Florida’s pest cycles.
Early Spring (February-March)
Late Spring/Early Summer (May-June)
Late Summer (August-September)
The peak of Florida’s heat and humidity creates perfect conditions for sod webworms and tropical sod webworms to devastate lawns in just days. Our late summer application creates a protective barrier during this high-risk period.
Fall/Winter (November-December)
As temperatures moderate, we apply preventative treatments that continue working throughout Tampa’s mild winter, preventing pests from establishing deep in your soil where they’d emerge with devastating force come spring.
This systematic approach provides continuous protection through changing seasons, eliminating the feast-or-famine cycle of untreated lawns where pests repeatedly establish, damage, and spread throughout the year.
Protect Your Investment
Lawn Maintenance
Regular mowing at proper heights significantly reduces pest pressure—many insects prefer overgrown conditions. Our professional lawn maintenance service maintains your grass at the optimal height to discourage pest colonization while promoting thicker, more resilient turf that naturally resists invasion.
Irrigation Solutions
Improper watering creates stressed turf that attracts opportunistic pests. Our irrigation specialists ensure your lawn receives precisely the right amount of moisture—preventing both the drought stress that attracts chinch bugs and the excessive moisture that draws in fungus gnats and encourages disease.
One-Time Clean Up
Yard debris and excessive thatch create perfect hiding places and breeding grounds for lawn pests. Our thorough clean up services remove the sheltered environments where problems begin while improving treatment penetration to the soil.
