Grub and
Insect Control
Grubs do more damage to lawns every year than any other insect. What
are they? They are the larvae of beetles that eat the roots of your
lawn. Sometimes they are able to devour an entire lawn in one
season. Most of their damage shows up in late summer as large brown
patches. Sometimes the first evidence that they are there is when
raccoons and other animals tear up your lawn at night trying to find
the grubs as part of their dinner.
There are other insects that can affect the health of humans and
pets. Most of these are crawling surface insects like ants, ticks,
and fleas. They live and breed on the surface of your lawn.

Flea & Tick
Control
Many times people and pets are
put at risk when fleas and ticks are breeding in the surface of your
lawn. Don't take chances with your family and pet's health,
eliminate the problem before it becomes an issue.
Fungus and
Disease Control
|
 |
Many different factors contribute to fungus and disease in your
lawn. Many of these can be avoided with proper maintenance
practices. These would include aerating your lawn every fall to help
alleviate compaction, thatch, and breathe life back into the roots.
Proper mowing practices include only mowing 1/3 of the grass blade
off at one time. Anything more will contribute to thatch build up.
Only water your lawn during the early morning hours so the blades
have a chance to dry out during the day. Watering at night allows
the grass blades to stay wet too long without drying and will
promote disease. |
