Everything in our standard lawn program, plus grub suppression and free insecticide treatments any time you need them through the season.
Some Davis County lawns deal with more than weeds. If your lawn has a history of grub damage, sod webworm, or other insect problems, standard fertilizer and weed control may not be enough to keep it healthy. This program includes everything in the Full Season Lawn Program, plus Acelepryn grub suppression and a coverage guarantee: if we find an active insect problem at any point during the season, we treat it at no additional charge.
Grubs are one of the most common lawn problems in Davis County. White grubs are the larval stage of beetles. They live below the surface and feed on grass roots from late summer into fall. By the time you see brown, spongy patches that pull up like loose carpet, the damage is already done. Repairing grub damage often means reseeding or laying new sod in the affected areas.
The challenge is timing. Grubs are easiest to control before they hatch. Once they are feeding on roots, treatment options are limited and results are slower. That is why this program applies Acelepryn in spring, before the grub lifecycle begins.
Sod webworm is another insect that feeds on Davis County lawns during summer. Adults are small tan moths that fly low over the grass at dusk. Their larvae feed on grass blades near the surface, creating thin, patchy areas that look like drought stress. Acelepryn controls sod webworm with the same spring application used for grubs.
This program adds insect protection on top of the standard five-visit lawn care plan. It is the right choice for lawns with insect history or homeowners who want full coverage.
If your lawn is in good shape with no insect history, the standard Full Season Lawn Program covers fertilizer and weed control without the added insecticide protection.
If you are seeing ring-shaped dead patches or “frog eye” patterns, that is likely necrotic ring spot, not insect damage. The Fungus and NRS Lawn Program is designed for that problem.

This program includes every treatment in the Full Season Lawn Program, plus grub suppression at Visit 2 and free insecticide treatments for the rest of the season.
The application schedule is the same as the Full Season Lawn Program: five visits from March through October, spaced at 5-8 week intervals. Each visit includes locally mixed fertilizer formulated for Davis County soil, broadleaf weed control, and seasonal treatments timed to Utah’s growing season. Visit 1 includes pre-emergent for crabgrass and spurge prevention. Visits 3 and 5 include slow-release granular fertilizer for summer and fall root development.
For the full application-by-application breakdown of each visit, see the Full Season Lawn Program page.
Acelepryn is applied during the late spring visit, before grubs hatch and begin feeding on roots. This targets the larval stage while grubs are most vulnerable. The same application also controls several surface-feeding pests, including sod webworm, for the remainder of the season.
Acelepryn can be watered in, but it does not require watering to be effective. It works whether activated by irrigation, rain, or left to absorb naturally.
This is what separates this program from adding grub suppression as a standalone add-on. If we find an active insect problem anywhere on your lawn at any point during the season, we treat it at no additional charge. Fungus issues are not included in this coverage, but all insect-related problems are.
Call or text us when you notice something. Most requests get a same or next day response.
Insect damage in Davis County lawns can look like drought stress, disease, or even poor watering. Here is how to tell the difference.
Grub damage usually shows up in late summer or early fall. The grass turns brown in irregular patches and feels spongy when you walk on it. If you grab a handful of affected turf and it pulls up easily with no roots attached, grubs are likely feeding below the surface. You may also notice birds, skunks, or raccoons digging at your lawn. They are going after the grubs.
Sod webworm damage creates thin, ragged patches that look like the grass was chewed down close to the soil. You may notice small tan moths flying low over the lawn at dusk. The larvae feed at night and hide in the thatch layer during the day.
General insect stress can appear as unexplained thinning, yellowing, or bare patches that do not respond to watering. If your lawn is on a fertilizer and weed control program but still declining in certain areas, insects may be the cause.
If you are not sure, call us. We can come evaluate the area and determine whether insects are the problem.
Grub suppression is preventative. You will not see grubs dying on the surface. What you will see is the absence of damage that would have appeared in late summer and fall without treatment. Lawns on this program avoid the brown, spongy patches that untreated lawns often develop by August.
The rest of the program delivers the same results as the Full Season Lawn Program. Improved color within two to three weeks of the first spring application. Thicker, greener turf by mid-summer. Faster fall recovery heading into winter.
The free insecticide coverage means you do not have to diagnose problems yourself. If something looks wrong between visits, contact us. We come out, identify the issue, and treat it if it is insect-related. No extra charge, no waiting until the next scheduled visit.
The same guidance applies as the Full Season Lawn Program.
Watering: Pre-emergent (Visit 1) needs to be watered in within 14 days. Granular fertilizer (Visits 3 and 5) benefits from watering within a few days. Acelepryn (Visit 2) works with or without watering.
Mowing: Keep your mower at 3 to 3.5 inches. Taller grass shades the soil, retains moisture, and makes it harder for weeds and insects to establish.
Pets: Keep pets off treated areas until the application has dried completely, usually a few hours. Once dry, treated areas are considered safe. Acelepryn has a favorable safety profile for pets and wildlife.
Monitoring: Check your lawn regularly during summer. If you see brown patches, spongy turf, or moths flying low at dusk, call or text us. Early detection means faster treatment and less damage.
Acelepryn has one of the lowest toxicity ratings of any grub control product available. It is classified as a reduced-risk pesticide by the EPA. As with all treatments, we recommend keeping kids and pets off the lawn until the application has dried.
This program prevents future grub damage by targeting larvae before they hatch. If your lawn has existing damage from a previous season, we can evaluate the areas and recommend repair options alongside the prevention program. In most cases, damaged areas need reseeding or sod replacement to recover fully.
Yes. If you start on the Full Season Lawn Program and decide you want insecticide protection, contact us. We can add grub suppression as a standalone treatment or move you to this program for the following season.
Timing and product. Acelepryn is a professional-grade product that provides season-long control from a single spring application. Most retail grub products are curative, meaning they are designed to kill grubs after they are already feeding. By that point, root damage has already occurred. Our approach prevents the damage from starting.
We serve Davis County, Utah, including Bountiful, Layton, Kaysville, Farmington, Centerville, Clearfield, Syracuse, Fruit Heights, Woods Cross, West Bountiful, and North Salt Lake.
If your lawn has had insect problems before, or if you want the peace of mind that comes with full-season coverage, this is the program for it. Contact us for a free estimate.
