Pasture Mealybug Treatment in Florida, USA

A newly detected invasive insect, the pasture mealybug, has been confirmed in Florida and is already damaging pastures, lawns, and turf across the state. These tiny sap-feeding insects hide deep in the thatch and around the crown of the plant, weakening grass until brown, declining patches begin to spread. At AgriTrek, we identify infestations early and treat them before they take over your property.

What We Do

Confirm the Pest: We inspect the thatch, crown, and soil surface to determine whether pasture mealybugs, and not drought or nutrient stress, are the real cause.

Targeted Treatment: We apply an insecticide approved for pasture mealybug suppression in Florida, timed for maximum effectiveness.

Spread Prevention: We recommend follow-up steps to protect surrounding turf and keep the infestation from moving across your property.

Where We Treat

Pasture and hay grasses for ranchers and landowners.

Bahiagrass, bermudagrass, and other common lawn and turf grasses.

Large open acreage as well as residential lawns.

Why Early Action Matters

Insect problems are always easier to manage when caught early. Treating at the first signs of damage protects far more grass than waiting until large sections have already declined.
