BLOG Optimal Lawn Health: Reiser Lawn Service's Top Pest Control Strategies Oct 11, 2024

Having a lush, green lawn that is the envy of the neighborhood requires a lot of time, effort, and knowledge. One of the key components of maintaining a healthy lawn is effective pest control. At Reiser Lawn Service, we understand the importance of keeping your lawn free from pests that can damage your grass and plants. That's why we have developed top pest control strategies to ensure that your lawn stays healthy and thriving throughout the year.

One of the most common pests that can wreak havoc on your lawn is grubs. These white, C-shaped larvae feed on the roots of your grass, causing patches of dead or dying grass to appear. To combat grubs, we recommend applying a preventative grub control treatment in the late spring or early summer. This treatment will target the grubs before they have a chance to cause significant damage to your lawn.

Another common lawn pest is the chinch bug. These tiny insects feed on the sap of grass blades, causing them to turn yellow or brown and eventually die. To effectively control chinch bugs, we recommend using a combination of cultural practices, such as regular mowing and watering, along with insecticidal treatments when necessary.

Fungus is another common issue that can plague lawns, especially during periods of high humidity or excessive moisture. Fungal diseases, such as brown patch and dollar spot, can quickly spread throughout your lawn if left unchecked. To prevent fungal diseases, it is important to ensure proper air circulation and drainage in your lawn, as well as avoid overwatering. In cases where a fungal disease has already taken hold, we recommend applying a fungicidal treatment to stop the spread and protect your grass.

At Reiser Lawn Service, we also prioritize environmentally-friendly pest control methods. We understand the importance of protecting the ecosystem and minimizing the use of harmful chemicals on your lawn. That's why we offer organic pest control options, such as neem oil and beneficial nematodes, which target pests while being safe for the environment.
