Your lawn is your baby when the warmer weather rolls in and pests can really put a damper on its beauty. They can eat away at healthy grass and cause diseases that will negatively impact future growth. But don’t worry, there are natural solutions to defeat these pests and we are going to tell you all about them!
Mowing & Maintenance
Every man with a good lawn knows that it doesn’t happen by accident. You seed, fertilize and maintain that lawn all Spring and Summer long and there’s no way you’re going to let a pest ruin it. You’re going to want to keep an exact maintenance schedule and water thoroughly on the scheduled days. Turf Unlimited can help with that!
Plant Power
There is some gardening you can do to add to the beauty of your yard and deter potential pests. The fragrance they give off can deter aphids, Japanese beetles and flea beetles. The following plants are ready to be planted this weekend:
- Sunflowers
- Catnip Plants
- Aloe Plants
Homemade Insect Control
There are homemade solutions to help you avoid insecticides and combat your problems at the same time. Try mixing together baby shampoo, water and cooking oil into a spray bottle and take it out into your yard. Apply the solution to a small portion of your lawn and make sure there are no poor reactions. If you’re in the clear, apply the solution to the rest of your lawn.
