While it’s important to keep your yard effectively maintained throughout every part of the year, pest management holds special importance at the end of the summer. Late summer lawn care not only plays a major part in determining what your fall lawn will look like, but it can also make a big impact on how your yard looks next spring. Below, we’ll go through some of the late summer lawn pests and treatments our lawn care company recommends to keep Southport, NC area lawns looking their best.
Our Lawn Care Company’s Late Summer Lawn Care Solutions
At Lawn Doctor of Wilmington-Brunswick Co., we offer a comprehensive range of lawn maintenance services. However, at the end of summer, some of these services take priority. Here are a few treatments we recommend for the end of summer to keep your yard healthier and stronger in the long run:
Army Worms
Army worms are leaf eating caterpillars that attack lawns and turf grasses in the later part of the Summer into early Fall. There is no way to prevent insects from coming into your lawn. However, they can be controlled when treated properly. It is important to call us if you notice a sudden thinning or browning in your lawn, white moths flying out of the lawn, or an abundance of birds feeding in the lawn.
Mole Crickets
Mole crickets are insects commonly associated with southern turf. They damage lawns by feeding on turf roots as they dig their tunnels, causing turf to wilt and die. Your Lawn Doctor technician can inspect for insect activity and apply a treatment as needed.
Fertilization
It’s normal for local lawns to start running low on nutrients as the summer comes to a close, which is why end-of-summer fertilization is crucial. We’ll apply our custom-blended fertilizers with our proprietary equipment to bring your yard a long-lasting boost of nutrients.
