Hi, everyone! Welcome to Bug Talk. I’m
your host Ryan Haynes and I am here to
tell you what you need to know about
lawn care.
Curb appeal is something every
homeowner strives for. Driving into your
neighborhood and pulling up to a
beautifully landscaped lawn just makes
someone feel good. A lot of time is
required to make a lawn stand out. Even
if you are not looking to have a picture
perfect lawn there are many reasons to
consider professional lawn care from a
pest control company near you.
One of the main reasons to have your
lawn sprayed is to control pests that can
appear in your yard. No one wants to be
outside and worry about being bitten by
fire ants, fleas, or mosquitos to name a
few. Ants can appear in a lawn
throughout the entire year. As the
weather changes, so do the habits of
these pesky creatures. This is one of the
reasons it is a good idea to have your
lawn sprayed on a regular service.
Fleas and ticks are common pests
present in lawns. This can become a
major problem for homeowners who
have pets. Their animals can pick up
these tiny pests without the owners
even realizing it. Not only can fleas and
ticks be a nuisance for pets but they can
cause a lot of issues inside the home too. Pets can bring fleas in from the
lawn. Once fleas have an opportunity to
come inside it won’t take long before an
infestation is present. Having your lawn
on a regular spray schedule can help
prevent this issue for homeowners and
pets.
Another benefit of having your lawn
serviced by a pest control professional
is treatment can be customized based
on the needs of your lawn. Many times
weed control and fertilization can be
included to keep your lawn pristine.
Fertilizer applications will provide
essential nutrients needed to optimize
growth. Fertilizer treatments can also
promote stronger root systems and aid
to the overall health of the lawn.
Weed control is a very common reason
people decide to have their lawn
professionally sprayed. Many
homeowners do not like the look of
weeds present in their lawn but there
are also other reasons why weed control
is important. Herbicides can target a
wide range of unwanted plants. This will
allow your grass not to compete with
unwanted plants for vital resources such
as water, sunlight and nutrients.
Lawn spray applications can aid in
disease prevention in many lawns too.
Fungal infections can harm your grass
and need to be treated with a fungicide
to prevent or treat diseases present.
Although there is a cost to treat lawns
and have them serviced regularly, there
are many benefits too. Spraying the
lawn can aid the long term health of
your lawn. With proper care you can
save money over time by preventing
infestations and more costly lawn
problems.
If you are seeing something concerning
going on with your lawn or you want to
be proactive in your lawn care be sure
to contact a pest control specialist. A
professional will be able to look at your
lawn and come up with a treatment plan
that is right for you. Thanks for joining
