Disease & Insect Prevention Services
Other services
In the Carolinas, our warm, humid climate creates the perfect environment for turf diseases and insects to thrive if left unchecked. At Top Notch Turf Care, we provide comprehensive, season-long protection designed specifically for lawns in the greater Charlotte metro area.
Disease Control — Brown Patch & Gray Leaf Spot
The two most aggressive and destructive turf diseases in our region are Brown Patch and Gray Leaf Spot, both of which flourish during the high-heat, high-humidity stretch of late spring through early fall. These pathogens can spread rapidly—sometimes overnight—leaving thinning, discolored, or dead patches across your lawn.
Our disease control program includes:
Season-long fungicide protection timed around peak disease pressure
Premium, systemic fungicides that shield the plant from the inside out
Proactive monitoring throughout the season
Hands-on follow-up treatments if any disease activity is detected
Whether it’s preventing early infection or stopping an outbreak in its tracks, our program ensures your lawn stays healthier, greener, and more resilient through the toughest part of the growing season.
Insect Control — Armyworms & Grubs
Insects can cause catastrophic damage in a matter of days. That’s why we offer full-season insect protection targeting two of the most destructive lawn pests in the Southeast: fall armyworms and grubs.
Fall Armyworms
Every year, fall armyworms migrate up the East Coast during late summer and early fall, following warm air currents and tropical weather systems—especially during hurricane season. As storms push inland, they carry armyworm moths hundreds of miles, dropping them across the Carolinas in sudden waves.
When these larvae hatch, they can devour an entire lawn in 24–48 hours.
Our season-long armyworm defense program delivers:
Preventative treatments before migration peaks
Fast-acting control to stop active outbreaks
Continued monitoring through the fall
Grub Control
Grubs feed on turfgrass roots, causing:
Spongy or loose turf
Sudden browning
Irreversible root damage
Our program includes a season-long preventative grub treatment that stops grubs before they hatch and feed—protecting your lawn’s root system during its most critical growth window.
Year-Round Peace of Mind
Your lawn is a living investment. With Top Notch Turf Care, you get proactive, scientifically backed protection against the pests and diseases most common in the Charlotte market. Our approach ensures your lawn stays green, healthy, and beautiful—no matter what the Carolina climate throws at it.

Armyworm & Grub Control Programs
Full-Season Defense Against the Southeast’s Most Destructive Lawn Pests
Healthy lawns in the Charlotte area are often vulnerable to two major insect threats:
fall armyworms and white grubs.
Fall Armyworm Protection
Every year, fall armyworms migrate north during late summer and early fall, riding storm fronts and hurricane systems moving up the East Coast. These insects can devastate lawns extremely fast—sometimes within 24–48 hours—leaving bare, chewed-down patches behind.
Our program provides:
Preventative treatments before migration peaks
Fast knockdown products for active outbreaks
Continuous monitoring through fall armyworm season
Guaranteed protection during Charlotte’s highest-risk months
Grub Control & Prevention
Grubs feed on turfgrass roots, causing widespread thinning, brown patches, and root death.
Once damage is visible, repair becomes expensive and slow.
Our grub control treatments deliver:
Season-long residual protection
Pre-emergent applications to stop grubs before they hatch
Root-zone protection during peak grub feeding periods
Defense against beetle larvae common in the Charlotte region
