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\u00a0our lawn care company recommends to keep Southport, NC area lawns looking their best.<\/p>\n

Army Worms<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Mole Crickets\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Fertilization<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.
