Serving Metairie, Louisiana
Lawn pest control in Metairie protects turf from the insects that feed on blades, roots, and crowns. Lobb-Alexis helps Metairie homeowners catch damage early and treat the pests that are actually active.
Metairie's established neighborhoods and mature landscaping give lawns and ornamentals a long growing season along with steady pest and weed pressure. Our lawn pest control service targets chinch bugs, grubs, sod webworms, mole crickets, and other turf-damaging insects with treatments matched to the season.

Turf-Damaging Pests
Each pest damages turf differently, so identification comes before treatment. Common pressures include:
A leading cause of spreading brown patches in sunny Metairie lawns.
Root-feeding larvae that leave turf thin, weak, and easily pulled up.
Caterpillars that chew grass blades down to the crown overnight.
Tunneling pests that uproot turf and leave visible surface runs.
Local Conditions
Metairie's established lawns face steady pest pressure through Jefferson Parish's long warm season, from chinch bugs in sunny stretches to grubs in irrigated turf.
Pest treatments deliver the best results on healthy turf, which is why many homeowners pair them with a lawn care program in Metairie.
Our lawn pest control service focuses on turf-damaging insects, and fire ant control is available as a dedicated treatment for active mounds.

Learn MoreFrequently Asked Questions
Chinch bugs, grubs, sod webworms, armyworms, and mole crickets are the most common turf-damaging pests in South Louisiana lawns. Fire ants are also widespread and are treated as a separate service.
Expanding yellow or brown patches, turf that lifts easily like loose carpet, birds digging in the lawn, or raised tunneling runs are common signs. The team can inspect and confirm what is active before treating.
No. Lobb-Alexis treats turf-damaging insects in the lawn and landscape only. Indoor or structural pest control is a different service category that we do not provide.
Timing depends on the pest and the season. Some pests are handled preventively within a lawn program, while others are treated when activity is confirmed. The team will recommend the right schedule for your property.
