Important to note: We can adjust, or eliminate completely, the amount of pest control products that we use in accordance with your wishes. The above program materials are what our typical product usage would be unless otherwise requested by you.
The interval between applications is approximately 6 weeks. We may shorten or lengthen that interval based on the weather and/or growing conditions. For example, in the spring, with frequent rain and rapid growing conditions, we may shorten the interval by a week. If the weather is hot and dry, for extended periods, we may wait a little longer to service. Sometimes it’s just better to let the lawn get through an intense hot, dry spell without any application. Whatever the weather situation, we’ll apply at the time we feel is best for the lawn.
