Specialty Services
Fire Ant Control
In Florida we are blessed with amazing weather, beautiful beaches, world-renowned theme parks, and fire ants. Take a walk in your yard barefoot and you’ll soon learn how these ants earned their name. For those allergic to fire ants, one bite could turn life threatening in a matter of minutes.
Not only can fire ants disrupt your outdoor activities, but they can also damage your grass. Just one colony can grow from several thousand to several million in a single acre. As their tunnel networks expand underground they feed on the vulnerable roots of your grass causing it to wilt and show signs of drought. Left unchecked, their mounds can grow to several feet across and kill the grass underneath.
At ADVANTAGE GREEN, we use products that are guaranteed to protect your yard and family from fire ants up to One Year.

Mole Cricket Control
Mole crickets get their name from the way they burrow under lawns with their intimidating front claws. Mole crickets are a big problem here in Florida. They feed on both plants and other insects but they are more famously known for the damage they can cause to lawns as they dig for food.
Mole crickets feed only at night and can tunnel as far as 10-20 feet during a single feeding! Evidence of mole crickets include:
- Small mounds of soil scattered on the surface
- Brown or dying grass
- The grass feels spongy.
Mole crickets are elusive creatures, living under the first couple inches of soil and only emerging at night. Because of this, we cannot guarantee the full elimination of mole crickets. We carefully time each treatment in order to get as many nymphs at the surface as possible.
Grub Control
Grubs have become a problem in Central Florida as well as the rest of the country and cause a great deal of lawn damage. Grubs feed on the roots of grass and can quickly turn a healthy lawn into dry and damaged lawn.
Here are some signs that you might have a grub problem:
- Can the sod be easily rolled up?
- Flocks of birds pecking at your sod?
- Animals digging up your yard at night?
When there is a grub problem, the worms aren’t the only thing you have to worry about. Grub are delicacies for other animals that won’t care about how pristine your grass is before they dig it up. Animals attracted to grubs include:
- Moles
- Skunks
- Raccoons
- Birds
- Opossums
Remember, it is natural to find a grub here and there in your yard, but if you find more than a dozen per square foot, then it’s time to call the professionals.
At ADVANTAGE GREEN, we want to be environmentally responsible, so we will only pursue a grub control application if it’s absolutely necessary.
