Dear Customers,

 

 

With Rounds 1 and 2 just about in the books it is now time for the round 3 grub control applications to begin. Our round 3 applications for our NON ORGANIC customers, consist of Granular Merit Grub Control(24-0-8). It is very important for this product to water in within 48 hours of being applied to your lawn and all round 3's will be completed by July 15th, to give your lawn the best possible results in avoiding grub issues in the future. If this product is not watered in, we cannot guarantee the results.

 

It is very important that the grub control application is completed in a specific time frame. Grubs are the larvae stage of the Japanese beetle and in August or early September depending on weather, the female Japanese beetle will fly down and lays her eggs in your lawn. The most desired location for a Japanese Beetles to lay their eggs is any sunny and hilled area of your lawn. You can prevent grubs during the season with proper watering throughout and preventative treatments.

Thanks

Solution: Getting your last mow in the fall is very important as longer grass is more susceptible to this fungus. Removing all debris off of the lawn for the winter season such as leaves and sticks is also vital, that is why it is important to get that fall clean up done. Avoid piling the snow from the driveways and walkways on the lawn if possible. The best option to rid your lawn of this fungus is a fungicide curative application. In some cases, depending on the severity of the snow mold, it may need more then one application. Not treating this fungus can do serious harm to your  grass such as: discoloration, soil compaction, and healthy grass suffocation creating bare spots.
