Aftercare Instructions For Our Insect Control Service
Today’s application is a granular based white-grub and surface
insect control application. Please follow your applicators instructions
for watering and re-entry time as indicated on your invoice.
Broadleaf weed control has also been applied at this time where needed for the control of dandelions, chickweed, and many other common weed species. If turf areas are heavily infested with broadleaf weeds, a blanket application of broadleaf weed control of all turf areas will be provided for good control. Please allow any broadleaf herbicide to dry prior to mowing turf areas.
Watering instructions:
The hot days of summer are here. Even though we have had a substantial amount of rain the last few weeks, these conditions will not last. Any rain helps, but with temperatures in the 90’s soil will dry up in 24 hours.
It is much easier to keep your lawn green than it is to get it green again after drought stress (brown) occurs.
Lawns that turn brown from lack of surface water will take 2 to 3 weeks for the new growth to push out the old, damaged growth. They will not turn green overnight with the next rain.
Not all irrigation systems are the same, and neither are soil conditions, but a good starting point for watering in summer is about 40 to 50 minutes per zone, every other day. Some lawns may need more, some lawns need less. This is just a guideline that you will have to temper to your conditions.
Mowing instruction:
Broadleaf weed control products readily enter the plant once dry and yield good weed control even if mowing occurs soon after the application. Weekly mowing of turf areas is advised during the growing season. Mowing heights should be set to a minimum of 3 inches throughout the course of the season and a maximum height of 3.5 inches is suggested. Remove clippings when mowing is strongly advised.
Fungus:
Fungus is starting to show up on many lawns. If you think, you may have brown patch, dollar spots, Pythium blight and/or other fungal disease on your lawn give us a call and we will stop by to check it out.
