Insect Control

What IPM Means to You:

IPM stands for Integrated Pest Management. It is a more environmentally friendly approach than traditional spraying for insect control, weed control, and plant health. More site visits ensure early detection of pest problems. Early detection means less pesticide (if any) is needed. As a result, predatory insects survive and the ecosystem remains balanced, naturally.

FAQ’s

What are the Green benefits of a Systemic Soil Drench?

Provides insect control without overhead spraying
More environmentally friendly than traditional spraying because it’s applied directly to the roots; avoiding unwanted drifting and overspray to other plants, cars, children’s toys, etc.
More effective than spraying and specifically targets harmful insects while leaving beneficial insects unharmed – keeping the ecosystem intact

What if it rains after my spray application? Will it be less effective?

No, we use a special ingredient called Syltac which makes your spray applications rain fast almost immediately, so rain should not be a problem.
In light of this fact, we still do not recommend watering your lawn for up to twelve (12) hours after a spray application

How soon can my children or pets be outside after spraying?

It is always a good idea to keep your pets (such as cats and dogs) and children inside for up to 2 hours after we perform any spray work.
With basic spray services, such as lawn weed spray and lawn fertilizer, it is safe for pets and children to be outside within a half hour of application or after spray has dried.

Will the residual spray for weeds or insects harm the birds or my pets?

We always use the most environmentally friendly products available and we recommend using Organic Dormant Sprays and Systemic Soil Drenches
