Fertilization and Pest FAQs
Common questions about fertilization and pest control applications, timing, pets, weeds, and licensing.
We take care to schedule rain-sensitive applications with enough time before forecast rain. Our fertilization and spray technicians check the weather before applying treatments when rain is expected. Some products need water to soak into the landscaping and work effectively. If unexpected rain follows your application and you have concerns, please contact our team so we can review the conditions at your property.
Pest and fungus applications start working very quickly. Weed control products can take up to two weeks for full effects. Fertilizers will start working slowly once watered in thoroughly.
It is best to wait until the application is fully dry before letting your pet outside. Each application dries at a different rate and it depends on the current weather conditions.
Each treatment is unique and targets different weeds and pests. It is impossible to kill every single weed. Instead our goal instead is to promote healthy grass to naturally choke out weeds and spray the few remaining weeds as need.
Please feel free to contact us and we will come and take a look between our normal service visits. Sometimes brown patches can be fungus that flares up, pests, or it could also be a lack of water of a certain area. Regardless of the cause we will identify it and treat as necessary or give you guidance on increasing/ decreasing watering.
We do not currently treat indoor pests. Our treatments are designed to protect your turf and shrubs from pests and the damage they cause but this is not effective in preventing pests inside of your house or preventing termites.
We are licenced in the state of Florida to both apply pesticides and fertilizer. Florida requires a licence to provide both services and we are happy to provide proof of this certification on request.
