Insect Control Services

Fire ants nest in the soil and can produce large mounds in residential and commercial lawns and landscapes. Unlike many other ants, fire ants bite to get a grip and then sting (from the abdomen) and inject a toxic venom.

Fire ants can attack small animals and humans with a painful sting that can feel as if you are being burned by fire (hence the name). The aftereffects of the sting can be deadly to small animals and sensitive people.

If you have dying or dead areas in your lawn, this could be a sign of chinch bugs, especially during the dry seasons. Severe infestations of this pest may also cause damage to your trees, shrubs and other plants.

When this bug is feeding, it is also injecting a toxin into the plant. This toxin interferes with the plant’s ability to get the nutrients and moisture it needs from the soil and causes damage to the tissues of the plant that are needed for its survival.

Lawn grubs are "c" shaped white worms that live in the soil. They eat grass roots and can leave your lawn brown and unattractive.

These pests also can attract unwelcome wildlife that may dig up patches of grass in search of the lawn grubs.

The army worm is a destructive garden pest that gets its name because it travels in small insect armies and consumes just about everything in its path.

The larva chew the green layer from the leaves of plants and leave a clearing or "window pane" effect in the aftermath. During the day, these pests will hide under the plants in your yard or garden and are more active at night.

Besides warm-season plants and grass, army worms will attack other plants including corn, small grains, sweet potato, beans, turnip, clover, tobacco, spinach, cucumber, potatoes, tomatoes, cowpeas, cabbage, and bluegrass, among others.

Fleas and ticks in your yard can pose a serious health threat to your family, friends, and pets. Once fleas and ticks are in your yard, it won't be long before they are inside your home.

UltraGreen offers flea and tick control services that will protect your outdoor living spaces from these little pests. Due to the life cycles of both fleas and ticks, our flea and tick service is an ongoing program that requires a series of applications in order to be truly effective.

Spittlebugs or frog hoppers are known for the frothy 'spittle' mass they produce while feeding on your plants. The 'spittle' masses can be up to 3/4 inch in size.

Their eggs are laid in the late summer and are left to over winter on plant debris. Eggs will then hatch in the early spring. When they originally hatch in early spring, they will attach themselves to a plant and begin feeding.

Junipers and pine trees are favorites for the spittlebug, but you’ll see them on a wide variety of plants, including strawberries, legumes, and various flowers.
