Common Summer Lawn Pests in Texas & How to Get Rid

The intense Texas heat doesn’t just stress out your lawn—it also attracts a wide range of pests that can quickly wreak havoc on your turf. When your grass is already weakened by drought or overwatering, it becomes even more vulnerable to infestations. Knowing how to identify and stop these pests early is key to keeping your lawn healthy year-round.

  • Chinch Bugs: Suck sap from grass blades, leaving yellow, dead patches.

  • Armyworms: Feed on grass blades and can strip a lawn bare in days.
