Lawn Insect Control

We spend most of the time on this blog talking about lawn health and how to make your landscaping beautiful. However, we don't spend enough time on an important issue - insect control for your lawn. With the start of spring will come a lot more bugs and insects so we want to take this time to help share some tips to protect your lawn. These tips were provided by an expert in lawn insect control in Mobile AL.
  • Know how much to water. You might not think that too much water is a bad thing. However, insects love moist environments, so it's important to only water your grass the recommended amount. To much water can invite unwanted pests.
  • Clean up your yard. This is a popular time of year to hold BBQs and other outdoor events. These parties will likely leave a lot of trash and leftover food in your yard. In order to protect against unwanted pests, make sure you clean up your yard immediately after the event and bring leftover food back inside.
  • Remove natural waste. This is most relevant in late summer and fall, but still is important in the spring. Make sure you clean up any leaves or branches or any other natural waste in  your yard. This waste presents shelter and nutrients to pests.
