In summary, Best Management Practices combine monitoring, prevention, and control methods including cultural, physical, and biological controls, with chemical pesticides as a last resort.

Practices like exclusion, proper sanitation, education, and record-keeping help minimize environmental impact and reduce pest problems sustainably.

Monitoring is the key to successfully managing pests that invade your home, lawn, and landscape if you want to use less pesticides.
By coming out monthly, we’re able to catch and treat problems before you even notice them leaving you more time do things much more fun than watching the grass grow.

As a rule, we do our best to minimize the amount of pesticides applied to your property. Because weeds, insects, and fungus rarely effect an entire property all at once, blanket applications are almost never needed unless the property has been severely neglected.

By minimizing pesticide applications, chemical resistance in chinch bugs is minimized and beneficial insects are left unharmed to keep your landscape in natural balance.

Fertilizer on the other hand does need to be made as a blanket treatment to keep your lawn and shrubs looking their best. However, we use slow release products that activate over time to minimize runoff and leaching.
