Birmingham Lawn Care FAQs
How do I treat my lawn for bugs?
Specific bugs found in Alabama can wreak havoc on your yard. Some cause damage to your lawn and other plants, while others (such as mosquitos and ticks) can create an uncomfortable outdoor environment for you and your pets.
Common lawn pests in Birmingham include the following:
- White grubs
- Chinch bugs
- Mole crickets
Insects either damage your lawn directly, causing ugly, brown, and wilted patches, or they burrow and build nests in the soil, uprooting the grass. While you can try DIY pest control lawn treatments, they are unlikely to help if your infestation is advanced or you have several pests present. Moreover, handling potentially hazardous chemicals and pesticides could put your health at risk.
Your best next step is to consult a professional pest control company such as Waynes. We can analyze which pests are present in your yard, identify suitable methods for elimination, and apply effective and safe treatments to your lawn.
How often should you fertilize your yard?
Your lawn will almost certainly fail to thrive if you don’t fertilize correctly and regularly. Fertilizers provide essential nutrients that help maintain a lush and vibrant yard and promote healthy grass and root growth.
Fertilize your yard four times a year, corresponding to the seasons: early spring, late spring, summer, and fall. If you have a high-maintenance lawn or severe nutritional deficiencies in your soil, consider applying a balanced fertilizer every six to eight weeks throughout the growing season.
When it comes to determining how often you should fertilize your yard, considering the time of day is essential. It is best to fertilize early in the day, but wait until the dew has dried. In this way, the granules fall onto the soil rather than dissolving on the grass blades, which can cause them to burn. Water your lawn after applying the fertilizer.
Proper fertilization, regular watering, and pest control lawn treatments will help you achieve a healthy and thriving yard. If all this seems overwhelming, why not let a professional Birmingham lawn care company handle it for you? Waynes has a solution for all your lawn care and pest control needs, including customized fertilizer.
How much does it cost to spray the lawn for bugs?
The cost of spraying your lawn for bugs can vary depending on several factors, including the size of your lawn, the severity of the infestation, and the type of pests. Here are some considerations:
- Lawn Size: Most Birmingham lawn care companies determine their prices based on the square footage of your lawn. You will typically pay more if you have a large lawn area to treat.
- Severity of Infestation: If your lawn suffers from a severe pest infestation, it may require several treatments or more intensive measures, which can impact the overall cost.
- Type of Pests: Some pests are easier to eradicate than others. The cost of bug spraying may vary based on the specific pests targeted.
- Additional Services: Some pest control companies may offer other services such as ongoing monitoring, follow-up treatments, or guarantees. These services can affect the overall cost but can provide added value and peace of mind.
- Treatment Plans: You may prefer to sign up for an annual pest control lawn treatment plan with a reputable pest control company. A plan typically includes a certain number of visits and treatments, which can work out cheaper in the long term.
