Most people who have owned a home with a lawn for any period of time have run into pest problems. They can be a real nuisance both inside and outside your home. Not only that, but they can destroy your lawn, and it can take many months or even years to recover from.
“Various pests will destroy your lawn, trees and shrubbery if allowed to,” says Paul an agent with pest control in Melbourne, Florida. He goes on to say “pests view your lawn a lot differently than you or I do. They don’t see a beautiful space for your family to enjoy recreationally; they see a source of food and water”.
This brings us to point number one of how they destroy your lawn. Pests like beetles and other insects will lay their offspring in the ground. These grubs will take nutrients from your lawn and eat the root systems. They also zap your lawn of water. It really is the trifecta of bad news for a healthy lawn. Landscaping professionals worldwide know exactly what I am talking about.
Other pests such as moles and voles will dig elaborate tunnels all throughout your lawn, damaging the roots and caving in parts of it. These creatures have an almost second nature when it comes to avoiding being exterminated. They have lived underground for millions of years and aren’t about to let a family in their 30’s come by and get rid of them, not without a good fight anyway.
That’s why professional pest control companies offer lawn service. They can remove the burrowing varmints in the ground as well as kill and repel any insects from your plants. Today’s treatments are perfectly safe for your plants and family but target the insect’s physiology itself.
If you are considering hiring a pest control service to restore or protect your home, it helps to do a little research on that company. Some things to consider before hiring them:
1. How long have they been in business?
2. What do their online reviews look like?
3. Pics on website and social media real or stock?
4. Do they mention specific treatment methods?
If all of these factors check out, then it is probably a good idea to hire them and give them a shot with your lawn. Allow up to 6 months for the damage to be undone. After all, the lawn wasn’t destroyed overnight so it very well cannot be restored overnight either.
