Perimeter Pest Protection 

Protect your home from insect invasion with a barrier treatment around your home's perimeter.  We will provide an insect shield around the outside of your home.  This will control such pests as ants, crickets, spiders and more, BEFORE they have a chance to enter your home.  The timing of the applications are late spring, summer and fall, however, applications may be started at any time.  Spring treatments control newly active insects heading inside to avoid cold snaps and find a source of food for the season.  Summer treatments fight newly hatched insects like crickets and millipedes.  Fall treatments prevent spiders and others from coming in to seek shelter from the winter cold.  A full year of protection should consist of three treatments.  Each application last approximately 6-8 weeks.

 

 

 

 

Grub Control

There are several types of white grubs that feed on the roots of lawn grasses. All of them can cause severe damage if left untreated. Grubs (the larvae of a number of beetles) can become serious lawn pests when present in high numbers. The beetles lay their eggs in your lawn, and the newly hatched worms feed on roots of a wide variety of grasses, cutting the roots and loosening the sod. Most beetles lay their eggs mid to late summer, and the young grubs do their greatest damage during the fall months. Lawns infested with grubs will show irregularly shaped patches of wilted, dead or dying grass in April and May and again in August to mid-October. Grass does not always recover from severe grub injury, but it can re-grow if the injury is moderate. Grubs don’t disappear on their own. The best time to apply preventative grub control is from mid-June to August.

 

 

Surface Feeding Insect Control 

There are many species of turf damaging insects that feed directly upon the leaf tissue "blades" of the turf plant. In most cases, these insects are already in the lawn, but do not cause severe damage. A properly watered lawn reduces insect invasion. Newer lawns and lawns under stress are the ones that will receive damage if left untreated. A surface insect control will give your lawn the help it needs to thrive.
