LAWN TREATMENT
Our Program is designed to provide the nutrients and protection your lawn needs at the proper time of year. It is important to maintain a year-around treatment schedule to keep insects, weeds from damaging your lawn. Our lawn program includes fertilizer, weed & insect control. We also treat for certain diseases. Customers with pets are informed to keep their pets inside for 30-45 minutes depending on weather outside. Once the lawn is dry it is safe for pets to go out. There are over 60 different Fungi that can attack your lawn depending on climate and type of grass. There is not just one product that can control every fungi and effective controls only last approximately 3-4 weeks. Extreme Pest includes product for certain diseases, but there are many that cannot be controlled. We offer a Monthly or a Bi-monthly program.
Extreme Pest uses special blended granular and liquid fertilizer along with micronutrients at the best rates and at the proper time. This is important in keeping a thick and healthy lawn. (Note that Florida fertilizer laws require that we do not apply fertilizers to saturated soils or the time period during which a flood, tropical storm, or hurricane watch or warning is in effect for any portion of the State between June 1st and September 30th.)
Our Lawn Treatment Program includes the control of lawn damaging insects, chinch bugs, army worms, sod webworms, mole crickets, grubs, bill-bugs. We include treatment for dollar spot fungus, service also includes our special blend of liquid and/or granular fertilizer whichever is needed at time of service.
Weed control is also included for broad leaf weeds such as dollar weed, hawks-beard, wood sorrel clovers. Sedge is aquatic in nature control is by changing watering habits or retention in the area. When herbicides are applied it will normally take 4-6 weeks before results can be realized. Minor weed problems may arise between services. Broadleaf weeds germinate throughout the year, effective control depends on the temperature, humidity, moisture in the ground and the stage of growth.
Weeds grow faster than grass does, so as we fertilize your lawn it also fertilizes the weeds. When herbicides are applied, it will normally take four to six weeks before results are visual. Weeds control does not counteract the fertilizers we put down. Remember, the best way to keep weeds to a minimal is to keep a Thick and Healthy lawn which is done by having regular service and making sure that when the lawn is cut, that the person cutting the lawn does not mow it too short. This will invite more weeds to invade your lawn. Rest Assured, Extreme Pest will work with you to get weeds under control.
While some weeds may take more than one treatment to get rid of or controlled, some weeds cannot be controlled, they are sometimes stronger than the grass they are growing in. In these cases, they can only be poisoned using products like RoundUp® and as a result, the grass around where they were will need replacement. No lawn can be weed free 100% of the time.
