When it comes to weeds, are you only applying treatments in the spring? If you are, then you’re missing out on a prime time in the Columbus, GA area for lawn weed control: fall. Early autumn is an ideal point during the year to control a range of weeds, whether you only have a few in your lawn or a full infestation. This is because:
- Some weeds emerge in fall… which is why we apply pre-emergent this time of year. There are certain varieties of weeds – from common chickweed to henbit, Poa Annua, purple deadnettle, and corn speedwell – that grow best during the cooler temperatures of fall. As a result, with pre-emergent treatments, you can eradicate these from your lawn so they don’t overwinter and continue growing come spring time.
- Weed applications are more effective. During the fall, weeds are taking in fuel to prepare for the winter. If you apply a post-emergent weed control product, it’s, therefore, more effective since weeds will absorb and funnel it right to the roots. This process reverses in the spring when energy travels upward, from the roots to the foliage.
- You can weaken even the strongest weeds. As lawn weed control experts, Lawn Doctor of Columbus-Phenix City knows that some weeds are especially stubborn. But even if one application doesn’t totally get rid of a weed, it still weakens it. As a result, the weed will have a harder time surviving through colder winter temperatures.
