Getting Rid of Pests to Create a Lush Lawn
A once "dense" and "lush" lawn that is no longer living up to that billing is usually a sign that something is terribly wrong. The best time to identify the problem is now. A healthy-hardy lawn is the best defense against weed, insect, and disease attacks. Keeping it that way can be a constant battle, but one worth fighting.
The obvious first step when dealing with lawn pests is determining what exactly is causing the problems and what lead to it. If the pest population causing the problem is causing unacceptable damage to the lawn it may well be time to decide upon a plan of action to reverse the damage. In this case it may include the application of pesticides.
A pesticide is a group of chemical or organic agents that are divided into insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. These pesticides are used to eliminate or control harmful insects, funguses, weeds, and other diseases. When using a pesticide be sure to stay safe and keep the following tips in mind:
- Read the label and follow the directions carefully. Failure to do so can be dangerous.
- Avoid applying any pesticide on a windy day. A drifting pesticide can be harmful if it goes beyond its intended application area.
- Try to avoid broad applications, spot treating instead to combat the problem.
- Avoid applying any pesticide into or near a source of water. Also keep it away from any surface that water runoff will carry it into a body of water or storm drain.
- Again, read the directions and keep people and pets out of the treated area until the recommended amount of time has passed.
Another important thing to remember is that not all insects are bad. In fact less the 5 percent of all insects are considered harmful. Most of them also have natural predators in the form of birds, toads, bats, and other insects that normally do a good job of keeping their population under control.
The best defense against lawn pests is keeping the lawn healthy and robust all year round. Have the soil pH tested and be sure to make any necessary amendments to keep it in the normal range. Keep a regular fertilization schedule and be sure to get in that fall feeding to help the lawn get through the long winter. Just remember that a healthy lawn is a part of the larger environment, so environmental stewardship is a top priority in all lawn care management.
