Summer’s the time when everything starts sprouting up like crazy again. After a wet spring and going into hurricane season, both desirable plants and weeds will compete for space and sun. But it is not only weeds you need to be on the lookout for with your summer lawn care, there are lots of pests that will creep into your outdoor space.
Fire Ant Control – Fire Ants can be painful. One minute, you don’t even know they’re there. The next, you’ve got hundreds of ants crawling up your leg and leaving painful stings that cause little, white welts. Some Florida residents have even been unlucky enough to suffer fatal Fire Ant attacks. Children, those with health conditions, and pets are especially susceptible to Fire Ant attacks. Our lawn care services can help address this risk by locating and stopping the spread of Fire Ant nests and employing Fire Ant control measures.
Tick Control – It’s supposed to be another bad year for Ticks. We can use a Tick control treatment program that eliminates Ticks from your yard and garden. Ticks carry a number of diseases that can effect people and pets alike. Many of these diseases are debilitating, like Lyme disease, and can change a person’s health outlook for the rest of their lives.
Green Pest Management – We keep our pest management solutions green. This is both environmentally friendly and smart for your family and garden. Green pest solutions are much less likely to expose your family and your pets to toxic chemicals that may adversely impact their health. We use products that are ‘low impact.’ This means that they follow EPA guidelines for environmental stewardship and that they pose no increased risk for people and pets.
