Finding the Best Pest Preventative Lawn Care Company

The best lawn care company should also be a pest control company. Florida lawn care should focus on pests and potential infestations, both in the lawn and the garden. When caring for any lawn you need to take into account watering, mowing, weeds, shade, soil compaction, weather, and unforeseen circumstances. If you've struggled with your lawn in the past, or wondered why some patches are rougher, drier, or browner than others, it's not just “the way things are.” There's always a reason or cause that can be found. Slug-A-Bug provides services that keep the lawns of homes and offices alike looking their best, and unfettered by pests.

Brown Patch Fungus Can Cause Those Spots in Your Yard

You want a healthy lawn, who doesn't? But if entire sections of it are brown, that's a huge problem. Take a look at what might be wrong and what you can do about it. 

For a healthy lawn, free of fungus, you may want to consult a Brevard County lawn care service like Slug-A-Bug. A professional lawn care service can eliminate lawn fungus both by treating the brown patch fungus and by changing the environment of the lawn itself. Fungus can be resolved when the habitat of the lawn is changed through proper fertilization, watering, and cutting, but the details change by lawn, environment, and type of grass. This is why a lawn care service may be your best – and least stressful – bet.

Cockroach Prevention and Deterrents

You might be surprised but there is a lot you can do with landscaping to deter cockroaches. Creating a separation between your mulch or any other debris and the foundation of your home will deter many Florida pests. They don't want to cross dry earth. Another thing is to move all trash away from the home. You do not want your garbage bins right up against your house. There are many other tips and tricks we've learned combining pest control and residential lawn care. Many people forget that caring for the outside helps prevent pests from going inside. If you've tried cockroach prevention tactics without success, give  Slug-A-Bug a call today at 321-259-7844 for a free evaluation! https://goo.gl/7C8lZA 

Looking at Examples of Integrated Pest Management

Integrated Pest Management or IPM looks at a broader range of pest control. There are a range of other solutions that can complement this, though. For example, whitefly infestations can often be solved by introducing ladybugs, their natural predator. Changing how you dispose of your trash can reduce the risk of cockroach infestation. Small changes in landscaping can deter pests like silverfish and roaches. These are just a few examples and as an IPM company in Melbourne, FL we can give you a plan to solve your pest problems – not just today, but going forward.
