Lawn Insect & Weed Treatment on Montreal’s North Shore
Protect Your Lawn from Hidden Damage
A lawn that turns yellow, thins out, or appears unhealthy despite watering often hides a deeper issue: damaging lawn insects or invasive weeds.
At Entretien Quesnel, we provide targeted professional treatments for homeowners throughout the North Shore of Montreal, helping eliminate the problem at its source and strengthen your lawn for long-term health.
Chinch Bugs
The Insect That Silently Destroys Your Lawn
The hairy chinch bug (commonly called chinch bug) is very common in Eastern Canada and can cause significant lawn damage if left untreated.
It feeds directly on grass blades by extracting plant sap, which leads to:
Signs of Infestation
Yellow or brown patches
Grass that looks dry even after watering
Irregular areas that expand during hot summer periods
These symptoms are often mistaken for drought stress.
Activity Period
Late June to July (during hot weather)
Our Solution
Professional insecticide treatment applied directly to the lawn
6 to 8 weeks of protection (depending on rainfall)
Fast intervention to limit further damage
⚠ Areas that are already dead will not recover on their own. Overseeding may be recommended following treatment to restore lawn density.
White Grubs
The Danger Beneath the Surface
White grubs attack the roots of your lawn, causing widespread weakening and thinning of the turf.
How to Identify Them
Yellow patches that lift easily from the soil
Spongy or soft-feeling turf
Increased animal activity (raccoons, skunks, birds) digging to feed
Often, it’s the holes caused by animals that make the damage most visible.
Preventive Treatment
Application recommended in June
Single seasonal application
Protection throughout the summer
Taking preventive action helps avoid costly lawn repairs.
Crabgrass & Weeds
Professional Control of Invasive Plants
Some weeds are easy to spot and identify, such as dandelions or clover. Others, like crabgrass, are more deceptive and can quickly spread throughout your lawn.
Common Lawn Weeds
We commonly treat:
Dandelion
Clover
Plantain
Quackgrass
Ground ivy
Crabgrass
Wild violet
These weeds gradually reduce lawn density and create bare areas where other unwanted plants can establish.
Without proper intervention, their spread can accelerate from one season to the next.
Professional control not only eliminates weeds but also strengthens your lawn to prevent their return.
Crabgrass: A Special Case
Unlike most broadleaf weeds, crabgrass is a grassy weed — just like your lawn — which makes it particularly resilient.
It:
Blends in during the spring
Grows aggressively in hot weather
Can overtake the lawn if left untreated
A targeted and specialized treatment is necessary to eliminate it effectively.
Why Professional Treatment Is Essential
Our treatments:
Are applied in a targeted manner
Comply with current regulations
Are handled by trained professionals
Depending on weed density, temporary browning may appear for approximately 3 to 4 weeks.
Overseeding is often recommended to strengthen the lawn and prevent future invasions.

Transparency & Quality

Products used for weed control are approved and applied in a targeted and controlled manner.
Our objective is not just short-term greening, but long-term lawn health — building density, resilience, and natural resistance to insects and invasive weeds.
The Best Prevention: A Dense Lawn
A thin lawn leaves more room for weeds and insects.
A dense lawn:
Naturally suppresses weeds
Better withstands climate stress
Becomes less vulnerable to white grubs and chinch bugs
