While grubs are a food source for moles, their favorite food is earthworms. So, if you have healthy turf with lots of worms you can still have moles. If this is a serious problem in your yard, we have a mole service to help provide a remedy.

This service helps keep bugs out of your home by defending their most common place of entrance: your home’s foundation. Foundations are notorious for having tiny cracks that bugs can slip into, but more often overlooked is the sill-plate. The sill-plate is the area where the home sits upon the concrete foundation. This wooden plate can warp over time, creating small crevices where bugs can waltz straight into your home. This warping is a common occurrence and we highly recommend that you have a licensed builder inspect your sill-plate and provide proper sealing if there are leaks. Meanwhile, our Perimeter Pest Control will help keep bugs away from your foundation and out of your home! This program is applied 5 times per season for maximum effectiveness. We treat around the foundation of your home and include window and door frames, and door sills where small openings provide easy access for insects.

 

Perimeter Pest Insect Control is a preventative application that targets all common insects that may try to find their way into your home from ground level. It does not target flying insects that may try to enter your home from elevated areas. Perimeter pest applications are performed between May and September when insects are most active.

Lush Lawn uses a granular surface insecticide as a preventive and corrective treatment for surface-feeding insects. This group of bugs exists at or above the soil line, where they feed on grass blades. Insect damage can strain your lawn and decrease its resilience to systemic diseases. This makes controlling these insects necessary to keep your lawn in tip-top shape. Surface feeding insects increase in population and activity as temperatures grow warmer. This is a one-time application, typically performed in May-June, which targets insects during early activity. Protect your lawn by adding this treatment today.

 

Common surface feeding insects include billbugs, chinch bugs, cut worms, web worms and the list goes on. This treatment is a broad-spectrum product that will target nearly all insect activity at the soil level, without harming productive insects such as bees, butterflies, etc.

Grub Protection is a preventive treatment to help prevent the spread of grubs on your lawn. Grubs typically hatch mid-summer and feed on the roots of your lawn. Grubs are a problem which remain out of sight until your lawn starts to die off in patches where they have been feeding.
