South Florida Lawn And Tree Pest Control

Spring is always a time of new growth. Everything gets more active, and bigger. Unfortunately that includes those freeloaders that like to munch on your greenery. Yes, they are back despite popular demand (that they begone!).Lawn pests can take away your lawn’s beautiful color and overall health if not controlled and treated.

Any signs of munched-on leaves, plants, or fruit could be a sign that the annual bug invasion has begun in your garden. Grass that is turning yellow or reddish-brown in color could be suffering from a chinch bug problem. You might not see them at first. These tiny critters are difficult to spot in the grass during the day.

Some crickets will eat most anything. Mole crickets are one of the most devastating lawn pests all through the Southeast. These insects tunnel through soil and will devour insects and decaying plant matter, along with grass roots and shoots. A lawn infested with mole crickets feels spongy when you walk on it and has irregularly-shaped brown patches.

All this spring growth will surely get your attention. Spring is the time when homeowners will start to see increasing insect activity outdoors and in. Warmer spring temperatures cause an influx of insects to emerge. Now would be a great time to have a professional come out and treat your trees, shrubs, plants and lawn to prevent any infestations from happening or damage to your greenery.

Florida is notorious for lawn destroying bugs and keeping them from destroying your yard and plants can seem overwhelming. Your yard should be for you to enjoy, not something you have to fight to keep. When bugs make you want to bug out it is time to call in the pros. At Zimmerman Tree Service we can get rid of them and offer lawn treatments that keep them from coming back.
