Professional Lawn & Ornamental Pest Control in South Florida
South Florida’s warm temperatures, humidity and year-round growing season create favorable conditions for insects that damage lawns, shrubs, palms and ornamental plants. Chinch bugs, sod webworms, whiteflies, scale insects and other landscape pests can cause discoloration, thinning turf, damaged foliage and declining plant health.
Pest Worx provides lawn and ornamental pest control services designed to identify damaging insect activity and recommend targeted treatments based on the affected plants and property conditions.
Our approach focuses on accurate pest identification, appropriate treatment methods and practical recommendations to help reduce recurring pest problems. We evaluate the signs of insect damage while considering other factors that may affect landscape health, including irrigation, mowing practices and plant stress.
Whether you own a single-family home, manage an HOA community or maintain a commercial property, Pest Worx can help you address lawn and ornamental insect problems throughout Broward County and Palm Beach County.
Serving Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, Boca Raton, Delray Beach and surrounding South Florida communities.
Protect Your Lawn, Shrubs & Ornamental Plants From Damaging Pests
A healthy landscape adds beauty, comfort and curb appeal to your property. Unfortunately, lawn and ornamental pests can feed on grass, leaves, stems and roots, leaving behind brown patches, thinning turf, discolored foliage and weakened plants.
Chinch bugs can damage St. Augustinegrass, while sod webworms and armyworms feed on turfgrass blades. Whiteflies, scale insects and mealybugs may affect ornamental shrubs and other landscape plants.
Because insect damage can resemble drought stress, nutrient deficiencies or plant diseases, identifying the underlying cause is an important first step before treatment.
Pest Worx evaluates visible pest activity and damage patterns to recommend a property-specific approach to lawn and ornamental pest management.
Our goal is to help you manage damaging insect populations while supporting a healthier, more attractive South Florida landscape.

ONGOING LAWN & LANDSCAPE PROTECTION
Help Protect Your Lawn From Recurring Insect Damage
South Florida’s warm climate and active growing season can support lawn and ornamental insect activity throughout much of the year.
Even after an infestation is addressed, new pest activity may develop as insects move into landscaped areas or environmental conditions change.
Routine landscape inspections, appropriate irrigation, proper mowing practices and timely pest identification can help reduce avoidable turf stress and support effective insect management.
Pest Worx can discuss recurring lawn and ornamental pest control options based on your property’s needs, the plants present and the history of pest activity.
Our goal is to help property owners identify developing problems early and manage damaging pests before extensive landscape injury occurs.
ADDITIONAL EXTERIOR PEST PROTECTION
Exterior Perimeter Pest Control for South Florida Properties
Lawn and ornamental pest control focuses on insects that damage grass, shrubs and landscape plants. However, outdoor areas may also attract ants, cockroaches and other pests that can move toward buildings.
Pest Worx offers exterior perimeter pest control options designed to address pest activity around qualifying building foundations, entry points and other exterior areas.

What is lawn and ornamental pest control?
Lawn and ornamental pest control focuses on identifying and managing insects that damage turfgrass, shrubs, hedges, palms and other landscape plants. Treatments are selected according to the pest species, affected plants and property conditions.
What lawn pests are common in South Florida?
Common turfgrass pests include southern chinch bugs, tropical sod webworms, armyworms, white grubs and mole crickets. The insects present vary by grass species, property conditions and time of year.
What are the signs of chinch bugs in my lawn?
Chinch bug damage often appears as irregular yellow or brown patches, particularly in stressed St. Augustinegrass. Because drought and other lawn problems can look similar, inspecting the grass for live chinch bugs is important before treatment.
Can chinch bugs kill St. Augustinegrass?
Heavy chinch bug infestations can severely damage or kill affected St. Augustinegrass. Early identification and appropriate management may help limit further damage, but turf that has already died may require replacement.
What are tropical sod webworms?
Tropical sod webworms are caterpillars that feed on turfgrass blades. Their feeding can leave grass looking thin, ragged or closely clipped. They can be active for much of the year in South Florida.
How do I know if armyworms are damaging my lawn?
Armyworm caterpillars chew grass blades and may cause noticeable thinning or rapid turf damage when populations are high. An inspection can help distinguish caterpillar feeding from disease, irrigation problems or other causes.
What are white grubs, and can they damage lawns?
White grubs are beetle larvae that live in soil. Some species feed on turfgrass roots and may contribute to thinning or weakened lawn areas. Proper identification is important because not every grub population requires treatment.
Do you treat whiteflies on ornamental plants?
Whiteflies can affect susceptible ornamental plants and shrubs. Pest Worx can evaluate visible activity and discuss appropriate treatment options based on the plant species, pest identification and applicable product labeling.
Can scale insects and mealybugs damage shrubs?
Yes. Scale insects and mealybugs feed on plant fluids and may cause yellowing, weakened growth, sticky honeydew or sooty mold on susceptible plants. Management depends on the insect species and severity of the infestation.
Why does my lawn have brown patches?
Brown patches may result from insect feeding, drought stress, irrigation problems, fungal disease, nutrient deficiencies or other factors. An inspection is important to determine whether insect treatment is actually needed.
How often should lawn pest control treatments be performed?
Treatment frequency depends on the pests present, infestation severity, landscape conditions, product labeling and the need for follow-up monitoring. Some problems require targeted treatment, while others benefit from ongoing inspections.
Is lawn and ornamental pest control safe for children and pets?
Treatments must be applied according to product labeling. Your technician will explain any precautions, including whether children and pets need to stay away from treated areas until specified conditions, such as drying or reentry intervals, are met.
Will lawn pest control make my brown grass green again?
Pest treatment may help reduce further insect damage, but it does not immediately repair grass that has already been injured or killed. Recovery depends on the grass species, extent of damage, irrigation, weather and other growing conditions.
Do you provide lawn and ornamental pest control for HOAs and commercial properties?
Pest Worx offers pest management services for residential and commercial properties. Contact our team to discuss lawn and ornamental treatment availability for HOA landscapes, apartment communities, offices and other managed properties.
Can lawn pest treatments also control mosquitoes?
Lawn and ornamental treatments are selected to address pests affecting turfgrass and landscape plants. Mosquito control is a separate service focused on mosquito activity and relevant resting or breeding conditions. Different treatments may be required.
How can I help prevent recurring lawn pest problems?
Monitor turf and ornamental plants for early signs of insect activity, follow appropriate mowing and irrigation practices, avoid unnecessary plant stress and seek accurate pest identification before treatment. Healthy landscape management supports pest control efforts.
