We are entering summer weather now, so keep reading to ensure you keep your lawn healthy throughout this period.
Rain, Rain, Don’t Go Away!
We are currently in an extended period of no rain, with temperatures rising at the same time. This weather can be very damaging to your lawn, especially if it is being mowed too short. Keep your lawn between 3.5” to 4” tall to prevent scalping.
If you do not have an irrigation system, make sure you are watering your lawn during periods of no rain like this. Lawns need about 1.5” of water each week, which should only be given in one to two longer watering sessions per week. Watering too often and for too short a time can cause damage as well.
In general, we are also recommending that you water your lawn 24 hours after each Lawn Doctor visit. This gives the weed control plenty of time to soak in while helping the granular products to break down quicker and more easily.
Bugs Are Back at It Again
The warmer weather may be enticing to us, but it also draws out activity from pests like mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, and more. These bugs are not only harmful to pets and other animals, but also to you and your family. At Lawn Doctor, we understand the importance of keeping your yard a safe place to be, which is why we are encouraging customers to take advantage of our Yard Armour pest control services.
Introducing In2Care Mosquito Control
In2Care has produced breakthrough technology in mosquito control, and we are proud to announce that we will be offering these mosquito stations alongside our Yard Armour mosquito program.
The linked video describes how the stations work, containing both a biocide that kills the mosquitos that land on it in time, and also a larvicide that kills the larvae wherever they are laid by the infected mosquito. This dramatically affects the entire life cycle of the mosquito, significantly reducing the overall population in an area with these In2Care stations.
While our regular Yard Armour program works well to kill adult mosquitos, it does not kill the eggs or larvae like the stations are designed to do. Thus, combining the use of our Yard Armour spray and the In2Care stations will give the best results for mosquito control at every stage. Please contact us with any questions or to receive a quote for our new and improved mosquito program.
