Don't Despair Because We Are Your Weed Maintenance Specialists
Weed control in your home or business is crucial to us. It protects the massive investment on your lawn or landscape from going down the drains.
At Killroy Pest Control, our lawn care program is one step ahead toward making your home and garden beautiful. Consequently, it saves time and money you would otherwise spend manually pulling the weeds.
Finding the Right Service for Your Yard
Lawn weeds fall into three main categories— annual grassy, broadleaf, or grass-like. The different weed categories help us know when and the best method to eradicate the weeds. For instance:
- We control annual grassy weeds best during early or mid-spring when their seeds and seedlings are vulnerable.
- Grass-like weeds like sedge may re-emerge after the use of mechanical methods. We recommend the use of herbicides in this case.
- Broadleaf weed control should start from early summer until early fall.
- Our lawn care program during winter helps thicken your lawn and stimulate the re-emergence of new roots.
Organic Weed Maintenance
- High-cutting lawn grass helps us maintain your lawn in perfect shape and improve soil health. Mowing much of the grass causes stress and lets weeds grow.
- Weekly mowing schedules ensure that we cut a sizable amount of grass to leave your lawn healthier.
- Watering your lawn deeply at infrequent intervals helps it develop deeper roots essential for competing with weeds for the available scarce nutrients and water.
- Shift to vertical edging of your lawn to avoid creeping weeds from your neighbors' lawns. We also discourage horizontal edging as it damages your lawn to create conditions that make weeds thrive.
- Feeding the grass with natural and organic products helps the lawn stay lush and discourages the growth of weeds due to the limited space.
- If your lawn has a few weeds, you can manually uproot them or use an organic DIY weed control solution like spraying vinegar. But remember, these solutions are non-selective; therefore, you may lose your grass in the process. We recommend this method if your lawn is bare or covered mainly by weeds and needs replacement.
Using Herbicides to Control Weeds
- Herbicides have proven to be an excellent method to control perennial weeds in lawns or gardens. It's fast, reliable, and allows timely control of weeds.
- However, we don't recommend using herbicides excessively as they can harm aquatic life in your home if the run-off finds its way into the fishponds.
- If you want to leave the lawn untouched, we will use a selective weed control solution. It removes all weeds and leaves the lawn unaffected.
- We use dithiopyr-containing pre-emergent herbicides to control hard-to-kill weeds such as crabgrass.
- Our natural and non-selective weed killer helps eradicate unwanted grasses along gravel paths and driveways. These herbicides are also helpful in places where plant growth may damage construction features such as concrete slabs or decks.
