This is a brief description of our 5 application program for warm
season grasses under normal conditions. With situations such as disease,
abnormally high insect or weed infestation, the ph adjustment may
require additional treatment depending upon the unique needs of your
yard. Warm season grass consists of St. Augustine, Centipede, Bermuda
and Zoysia.
January – Early March
- Pre-emergence for grassy weeds
- Post emergence winter broadleaf weeds
Mid April – Early June
- Post emergence for grassy weeds
- Post emergence for spring and summer broadleaf weeds
- Fertilization
Early June – Late July
- Post emergence for grassy weeds
- Post emergence for broadleaf weeds
- Fertilization
August – September
- Insect control
- Fertilization
October – November
- Pre–emergence winter broadleaf annuals
Fertilization and herbicide rates will vary based on the type of
warm season grass being serviced.
If your lawn needs special attention, our company is trained to solve the
problem and keep your lawn healthy. We would be happy to send you

Fire Ant Eradication
Due to the continuously growing problem of FIRE ANTS
in our area, we are now offering an additional FIRE ANT ERADICATION
service. We would like to take this opportunity to give you a brief
description of this service
Our new FIRE ANT
ERADICATION service provides immediate eradication of existing FIRE ANT
mounds, not just control. We use a patented low pressure, sub-surface,
vapor-delivery device designed for the total eradication of whole FIRE ANT
colonies. The active ingredient used is Resmethrin. Resmethrin affects a
fire ant’s central nervous system. Within 17 seconds of exposure to the
vapor containing this insecticide, the ant can no longer sting. The ant’s
breathing mechanism is completely shut down after about one minute,
leading to death. And since Resmethrin is delivered via vapor under low
pressure, the vapor permeates all the tunnels, escape routes, and rooms of
the mound. Thus, all the ants in the colony are trapped and killed
The active ingredient used
has the safest EPA rating for any FIRE ANT product on the market. It will
not contaminate ground water. Furthermore, exposure to sunlight degrades
the active ingredient into harmless elements within two hours or less.
(And since its desired effects on the fire ants occur immediately,
degradation does not occur until the death of the fire ants). In addition,
the active ingredient does not harm other animals. This service may be
used on residential and commercial lawns, school yards, athletic fields
and farm land
We guarantee to kill the
entire FIRE ANT colony of each mound we treat. However, due to the lack of
residual effect, the migration of fire ants from other mounds – for
example, from a neighbor’s yard to yours – cannot be stopped by this
method
For the control of fire
ants up to a year with one application, we offer an ultra-low dose
granular that will provide 95% control in about 4 – 6 weeks. Once the fire
ants are gone, they’ll stay gone for up to one year due to the residual
power to control new developing queen cells and also new queens that enter
the landscape in the months ahead. To insure maximum results, timing is
extremely important. Applications should be applied in the fall, winter or
early spring, just prior to or during wetter weather. Fire ant mounding
activity has much to do with temperature and moisture. During hot and dry
weather, worker fire ants burrow deep into the soil, moving their entire
brood down into the mound to search for more moisture and cooler
temperatures. In contrast, when adequate moisture is present and
temperatures are moderate, fire ants are active on the surface and most
vulnerable.
This is excellent for
control of fire ants, because it’s not only a curative solution; it’s also
a preventative one.
