Fleas & Ticks – During the warm weather months, your property may harbor literally thousands of these post as they wait for a warm blooded host and a meal of warm blood. During these days when pets and the entire family spend more time on the lawn, the possibility of a flea and tick attack is at its peak. These pests carry debilitating diseases dangerous to both humans and pets. Your local Lawn Doctor can help protect your family and pets with periodic treatments that will minimize the hazards created by these tiny but dangerous pests as they attempt to invade your landscape.
Grubs are the larval stage of several beetles. During their life cycle, they exist approximately two inches below the lawn’s surface, continuously feeding on the root system. Proactively treat your lawn for grubs with Lawn Doctor’s Preventative Grub Control. Grub damage is most likely to occur in the late summer and early fall months. However, grubs can also be present and cause damage in the late spring. Grub activity will encourage damage due to scavenging animals including skunks and birds, all of which will search for grubs to feed on. Damage may not be apparent until it is too late, requiring costly repair.
Lawn Doctor can provide the best treatment to help prevent damage before it occurs. A properly cared for landscape adds both beauty and value to your home while it provides natural support for the environment. Your local Lawn Doctor can help you create and maintain the quality landscape you deserve to have surrounding your home.
The Sod Webworm is the caterpillar state of a common lawn moth. The night flying moths drop eggs from which the caterpillars hatch in the lawn and begin to feed on grass plans almost immediately. Damaged areas have yellow patches of turf that may eventually turn brown and die. Webworms are only active at night, chewing grass leaves, often severing the entire plant at the crown. During the day they retreat to silk lined tunnels in the thatch or soil. Birds flocking to your lawn to feed may indicate Sod Webworm activity. Control of Sod Webworms is included in your Lawn Doctor Maintainer Care program.
