Love the work they do. Friendly and proactive, never a problem with someone coming back to discuss lawn concerns. Always go above and beyond your expectations.
Grubs and surface-feeding insects can weaken turf from above and below, leaving your lawn thinner, more vulnerable, and less consistent over time. RYAN’s grub and insect control service is designed to help prevent damage, reduce active pest pressure, and protect the strength and appearance of your grass with treatments tailored to what your lawn is facing.
Insect activity can quietly undermine lawn health long before the damage is obvious. Grubs can feed on roots below the surface, while chinch bugs and other lawn insects can stress turf from above, leading to thinning, discoloration, and weakened areas. RYAN provides professional grub control and lawn insect control designed to target damaging pests while helping preserve the health and appearance of your turf.
Lawn Care Services
A Preventive Plan
Your lawn is reviewed for visible stress, pest activity, and the conditions that may increase the risk of grub or insect damage.
RYAN builds a plan around the type of pest pressure present, the timing of the season, and the needs of your turf.
When timing is right, preventive applications help protect turf roots before grub damage has a chance to spread.
Surface-feeding insects such as chinch bugs and other damaging lawn pests are addressed with treatments selected for the problem at hand.
Your lawn is observed for signs of continued activity, stress, or damage so treatment stays aligned with changing conditions.
As pest pressure is reduced, your lawn is better positioned to regain strength, density, and overall consistency.
RYAN provides continued guidance and attentive service so grub and insect control remains responsive through the season.
How it works
Your dedicated RYAN Pro begins with a thorough inspection of your lawn, evaluating turf type, soil condition, and local climate to understand what your yard needs to thrive. (This could be a good place to add details about soil testing or evaluation methods.)
Dedicated lawn managers
RYAN’s insect and grub control isn’t just a single treatment; it’s an ongoing commitment to protecting your lawn. The same lawn manager visits your property throughout the year, monitoring for signs of grubs and surface-feeding insects that can damage your turf. As conditions shift with the seasons, your RYAN Pro adjusts strategies to keep pests in check and your grass thriving. Your lawn isn’t treated with a one-size-fits-all approach. You get personalized attention from a professional.

Ryan Lawn & Tree is the BEST!! I just called to set up an arborist visit for another project at our home, and spoke with Steve in the front office. He was EXTREMELY kind, patient, and efficient as I explained what our plans were for our trees. I felt like Steve truly listened to me and was able to respond fully to all my questions and concerns.

Ryan originally took over our lawn care about 15 years ago. I was so pleased with their service, I put them in charge of our tree care, insect extermination, and sprinkler system maintenance/repair.

RYAN Lawn & Tree is the Midwest’s leader in insect and grub control. Protect your lawn with service from a company known for superior customer care and proven results that keep your turf healthy, strong, and pest‑free.
Common culprits include white grubs (the larvae of beetles such as Japanese beetles and June bugs), which feed on grass roots and cause turf to pull up easily. Surface-feeding insects like chinch bugs, sod webworms, and armyworms cause brown patches and thinning grass when left unchecked.
Our team begins with a thorough inspection to identify signs of insect or grub activity. We then apply preventative treatments to stop grubs before they hatch and targeted applications to eliminate active pests. We highly recommend getting one of our PestGuard packages for worry-free, comprehensive control.
We recommend ongoing preventative treatments in late spring or early summer, when grubs are most vulnerable. Throughout the growing season, your RYAN Pro monitors for insect activity and applies follow-up treatments as needed to ensure year-round protection.
You can, but many store-bought products only provide short-term relief or target a limited range of pests. Misapplication can also harm beneficial insects or damage your lawn. Our RYAN Pros use professional-grade products and proven techniques to deliver safe, effective, and lasting results.
We use a combination of preventative grub control applications, targeted insect treatments, and season-specific fertilizers. This integrated approach not only eliminates pests but also strengthens your turf so it can naturally resist future infestations.
Midwestern lawns face unique challenges, including heavy rain that encourages grub activity and hot summers that bring out chinch bugs and armyworms. Our team understands local soil conditions, turf types, and pest life cycles, so we can apply the right treatment at the right time. Most homeowners notice a significant difference between DIY results and the consistent, healthy lawns maintained by our experts.
Pests can return if conditions are favorable, which is why ongoing monitoring and seasonal treatments are important.
