No, not all lawn treatment companies in South Florida are the same. Just because someone can cut your lawn and trim your hedges, does not make them an expert in fertilization and pesticide applications. First and foremost, you should make sure your lawn treatment company is properly licensed and insured. In the State of Florida, the company must have a Florida-certified operator on staff full-time in charge of the pest control operations. Furthermore, the operator must be certified in all the categories in which the business conducts operations.
There are separate certifications for:
- General Household Pest and Rodent Control
- Termite and Other Wood-Destroying Organisms Control
- Lawn and Ornamental Pest Control
- Fumigation
The majority of the chemicals for weed control, pest control, fungus control and disease control that a professional lawn treatment company uses are not available off the shelf at a big box store. The primary difference is potency and regular landscapers and the general public do not have the proper license to purchase and apply these professional-grade fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides.
A professional lawn treatment technician should be trained to notice the first signs of possible problems like disease and pests before the problem gets out of hand. It is much easier to deal with a major lawn problem in the early stages than after it has become a full-blown mess.
Having the knowledge of when to apply pre-emergent herbicides is another distinction between a quality lawn treatment company and someone that is under-qualified. Palm Beach County is notorious for crab grass and it is a lot easier dealing with these noxious weeds before they become seed-bearing adults. And not all herbicides work the same, so you need to know which ones will work for your specific problems without harming nearby plants and sod grass.
