FAQ
Weed Control
Is it safe for bees?
Our treatments are not intended for bees and can be harmful if they’re directly exposed. However, we take pollinator safety seriously—our technicians are trained to avoid spraying flowering plants and areas where bees are active, helping minimize any impact.
How long does it take to see results after a weed treatment?
Most broadleaf weeds begin to curl, darken, or wilt within 7–14 days. Full control may take a little longer depending on weather and weed maturity. Our program is structured for season-long control, not instant cosmetic fixes.
Why do you do 4 treatments?
Weeds grow in cycles throughout the season. A single spray will not control new growth later in the summer. Our 4-treatment structure allows us to manage weeds proactively at different growth stages.
Will it kill my grass?
No. Our products are designed to target broadleaf weeds while protecting established turf when applied correctly. Treatments are applied according to label and provincial regulations.
What if weeds come back?
Some regrowth is normal during the season, especially after heavy rain or stress periods. Our scheduled treatments are designed to manage this. If there is a specific issue between visits, we’re happy to assess it.
Do I need to mow before or after treatment?
Yes. Ideally, mow your lawn 24 hours before treatment to allow better product contact with weeds. Avoid mowing for at least 24–48 hours after application to let the treatment work effectively.
Should I water my lawn before or after treatment?
Do not water immediately before or after weed treatments. Rain or irrigation within 24 hours can reduce effectiveness. After the product has dried (usually a few hours), normal watering can resume.
Mosquito Control
How does your mosquito control program work?
We target the areas where mosquitoes hide and rest, including tree lines, shrubs, fences, and shaded areas. Treatments are timed throughout the season to interrupt mosquito life cycles and reduce population.
How many treatments do I need per season?
Most properties require multiple treatments — usually 5 visits depending on property size, vegetation density, and seasonal mosquito activity. Scheduled visits ensure continuous protection during peak season.
How long does mosquito treatment last?
Each treatment provides several weeks of protection (28-30 days) depending on weather conditions. That’s why we schedule repeat visits during peak season.
Is mosquito spraying safe for pets and kids?
Yes. We recommend keeping pets and children off treated areas until the product has dried, typically a few hours. We apply treatments responsibly and according to regulations.
Tick Control
Why would I need tick control?
Ticks are more common on properties near wooded areas, tall grass, or brush lines. If you or your pets spend time near those areas, perimeter treatment can reduce exposure risk.
Can tick control be combined with mosquito control?
Yes. Many homeowners combine the two services for full outdoor protection. Combination programs are common for rural or edge-of-subdivision properties.
Is tick treatment safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use targeted applications that are safe when dry. We always provide post-treatment instructions and ensure products are applied according to provincial regulations.
Fertilizer & Overseeding
Why should I add fertilizer to weed control?
Weed control removes unwanted plants. Fertilizer strengthens your grass so it can naturally compete and fill in space. Together, they improve overall lawn health.
How long does overseeding take to show results?
Germination typically begins within 7–21 days depending on temperature and watering. Lawn thickening happens gradually over several weeks.
Do I need to water after overseeding or fertilization?
Yes. Proper watering is critical for seed germination and nutrient absorption. We provide specific instructions for watering after fertilization or overseeding treatments.
Do I need to mow my lawn after overseeding or fertilization?
Yes. Avoid mowing immediately after overseeding or fertilizer application. Wait until grass reaches the recommended height (usually 3–4 inches) to prevent disturbing seed or freshly applied fertilizer.
