One of the biggest barriers to growing a healthy lawn is pests. As much as you love your green grass and lush trees and shrubs, so do the bugs. However, insects carry disease and threaten to destroy the very lawn you’ve worked so hard to attain. That’s why at Swazy & Alexander Landscaping, LLC., we use a comprehensive integrated pest management program (IPM).
An effective pest control program should be focused on prevention, monitoring, and control, which helps prevent infestations and the use of widespread pesticides. At Swazy & Alexander Landscaping, LLC. we do this in a number of ways:
- Water management
- Preemptive weed control
- Organic tick and mosquito control treatment
- Gypsy and Winter moth control
The goal is to prevent the pests from emerging and control the population before it becomes a problem. However, the use of commercial pesticides causes big problems to the health of you, your family, the environment, and your lawn. Some insects are not unwanted and should be allowed to call your lawn home while others should be eliminated. Toxic chemical pesticides can pose health risks to the kids and pets who play on your lawn as well as contaminate the community’s water supply. At Swazy & Alexander Landscaping, LLC, we use organic tick and mosquito control products that are BeeSafe®
