As far as we know there are no known insecticides that will work on Ground Pearl. Ground Pearl is a type of hearty armored scale, and other than natural enemies like ants, no true solution is available. The best solution to try is to reduce plant stress by following recommended fertility and irrigation recommendations to enable turfgrass tolerate the damage. You may also want to contact your local Cooperative Extension office to see if they have any recommendations.
