What is pre-emergent weed treatment? Simply put, it’s an approach to lawn management that aims to prevent weeds from growing in the first place. What’s behind this approach? It’s simple, really.
Once weeds have taken hold in a lawn or garden, a lot of effort has to go into eliminating them. Think of weeds like cockroaches – the ones you see are only the tip of the iceberg. If your lawn or garden is to the point where weeds are visible, there are far more hidden and waiting for their chance to grow. What you see may be a fraction of what’s still germinating in the dirt.
For this reason, we have a number of approaches toward weed control in the Melbourne, Florida. Every lawn and garden needs a different strategy – how big is the lawn, what plants do you grow in your garden, what is the timing of growth, will the weather be wetter or dryer this year? As experts in weed control and lawn care services, Slug-A-Bug takes every factor into account when devising a strategy for your lawn and garden.
We use broad spectrum weed treatment approach toward keeping both grassy and broadleaf weeds off your property. We will use more specific treatments and strategies if you have rarer plants in your garden that a certain product may affect. We favor treatments that are safe for your children and pets whenever possible. The goal is to use products that have residual effects – meaning your lawn requires fewer treatments – while also making it safe to use your lawn without tracking chemicals into your home. There’s no sense in having a beautiful, weed-free lawn if you can’t run around in it.
