Why Lawn, Pest & Plant Health Care Work Better Together

As much as you might want to deal with problems on your lawn and landscape as isolated incidents, the truth is, they’re all interconnected. You can’t treat everything in a silo. And successful lawn or landscape care doesn’t mean chasing down one incident at a time.

That’s why we stress the value of bundled lawn and pest control services.

In this article, we’ll talk about why lawn, pest, and plant health care work better together. When you make sure that your property is fully covered with these services, you’re able to enjoy your time outside to the fullest.

We definitely understand that you don’t want to invest in more services than you need. But there are some good reasons to make sure you’re fully covered.

Is it better to combine lawn care and pest control services?

Yes, because it makes your life easier. Having a one-stop solution for all of your needs is a major convenience. It is convenient to make just one call or text when you need help.

From weed issues in the lawn, ants inside the home, mosquitoes in the lawn, or termites eating your home…one call or text yields a solution.

At Lawn & Pest Solutions, our pros are cross-trained in services and issues. It's not uncommon for a pest pro to notify a lawn pro about weeds in a lawn, helping head off an issue for a customer. Since our pros are cross-trained to be aware of issues, having them on-site more often throughout the year offers a more proactive approach to managing your home, lawn, and landscape.

Bundled lawn care and pest control can also mean cost benefits. Discounts are offered for bundling services, though this can vary by time of the year. Homeowners also appreciate paying a single monthly amount rather than managing multiple invoices for different services throughout the year.

What is included in a full-service lawn and pest program?

For us, a full-service lawn program includes weed control and fertilization, and home pest control consists of web sweeping on the exterior and a quarterly perimeter pest barrier application.

We do come inside for pest issues any time customers have them. All they have to do is reach out and let us know they need us.

Because our area has many potential pest and disease issues in lawns, we must treat them as needed. Our account managers and pros are trained to identify instances where a preventative program is warranted.

We offer lawn disease and insect prevention programs on a consultative basis rather than just a blanket/shotgun approach that may or may not work.

Why do weeds and pests keep coming back?

We know it’s frustrating that lawn weed and insect control combined can’t just be a “one-and-done” treatment. It can’t even be just for a season. That’s because weeds and pests are constantly adapting, and new problems are continually arising. Even different seasons can bring new weeds and new pests that you may not have dealt with before.

That’s why it’s so important to keep up with your pest and weed control efforts throughout the year. As much as we wish there were treatments that simply put an end to these problems for good, that’s simply not the case.

To continue enjoying your yard to the fullest, you’ll want to keep up with ongoing treatments.

You’ll also want to make sure that you’re working with a company that is adapting its program to what’s going on in your lawn, as this can change (and isn’t always going to be the same as what your neighbor is dealing with).

How do fertilization and pest control work together?

Lawn fertilization and pest control together help to make a stronger lawn.

Fertilization is going to thicken your lawn and improve its overall resilience to problems (including pests). Building up that natural defense mechanism against pests is important.

A well-fertilized lawn will also bounce back faster when it does get damaged.

Of course, lawn pest control will help prevent insect damage in the first place. Fertilization and effective pest management go a long way in promoting a healthy lawn where grass can flourish.

What is plant health care, and why does it matter?

Plant health care encompasses valuable services for your landscape plants, like fertilization, pest control, and disease control. It includes regular inspections, scheduled quarterly, bi-monthly, or more often, depending on your desired level of care.

These inspections by qualified professionals are essential for monitoring plant health, detecting potential problems early, and enabling timely corrective actions.

All of that is important since your landscape is an integrated part of your yard. Problems with diseases and pests that start in the landscape can still spread into other areas of the property. Plus, if you’re out enjoying your lawn, you don’t want your landscape to be in poor shape.

In addition, landscape plant health definitely plays a role in reducing pests at home, since the plant material is so close to the home.

For example, many landscape plant diseases and insect issues attract ants. A plant health care plan will help prevent pest issues in the home. Additionally, our pest pros are trained to identify plant issues that lead to home pest issues.

Can one company handle all lawn and pest needs?

Yes, there are lawn care companies, like Lawn & Pest Solutions, that can handle everything under one roof. The key is that you want these services handled well. In other words, you want to make sure that the company you’re hiring is truly an expert in lawn and pest control combination services (not one or the other).

Look for a full-service lawn and pest company in Mississippi that can truly handle all of your property’s lawn and pest needs.

What are the benefits of ongoing service vs one-time treatments?

Unfortunately, when it comes to lawns and pests, there simply aren’t one-time treatments that will be effective for the long haul.

As we’ve mentioned, the problems that plague lawns and landscapes frequently evolve with the seasons. Problems can also arise that you might never have dealt with previously. Your lawn and landscape are living and evolving things, so change is a given!

When you hire a pro, you know they’ll also be keeping a watchful eye on your property, identifying and diagnosing problems as they arise.
