How to Protect Your Lawn from Insects in Kansas City with Turf Geek Insect Guard

As the summer heat settles in across Kansas City, it's not just your grass that’s growing—insects are too. Lawn pests like grubs, chinch bugs, sod webworms, fleas, ticks, ants, and chiggers can quickly turn a healthy yard into a frustrating mess. That’s why pest control is a critical part of your lawn care routine.

At Turf Geeks, we offer a specialized solution to stop these pests before they take over: Turf Geek Insect Guard.

Common Lawn Insects in Kansas City

Kansas City lawns are vulnerable to a variety of turf-damaging insects:

• Grubs – Beetle larvae that feed on grassroots, creating brown patches and weak turf.

• Chinch Bugs – Suck the sap out of grass blades, leaving dry, yellow spots behind.

• Sod Webworms – These larvae feed on grass at night and leave chewed, brown patches.

• Fleas & Ticks – Not only a lawn nuisance but a danger to pets and people.

• Ants – Build unsightly mounds and disturb soil structure.

• Chiggers – Tiny mites that cause itchy bites and thrive in thick, unkept grass.
