Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
Grub prevention as an add-on service typically runs $50 to $150. When bundling, ensure you clearly outline the benefits of preventative measures against subsurface insect damage that can destroy an otherwise healthy lawn.
Yes, by the time damage is apparent, it is much too late for preventative white grub products such as Merit and Grub-X, which must be applied before mid-August. Curative insecticide treatments after early October are generally not effective and are not recommended.
Lawn care companies recommend preventative grub control as a crucial added treatment or as part of their programs because the materials used for effective grub control, both preventative and corrective, typically cost more than those for other standard lawn care applications. This higher material cost contributes to the overall price.
Preventative grub control is generally less costly, with professional applications starting around $99.95 for an average-sized lawn. Corrective grub control, which treats an existing infestation, is typically more costly than preventative treatment, with estimates around $100-$125 for an entire lawn, often due to more intensive materials and labor.
Lawn size significantly impacts the cost. For instance, professional services often state prices, such as $99.95, for residential customers with treatment areas up to 20,000 sq. ft. For areas larger than 20,000 sq. ft., a custom estimate is usually required due to increased material and labor needs.
