Nuisance Pest Control targets the insects living within the lawn. Ants, spiders, fleas, ticks, crickets, armyworms & sod webworms, and hundreds of more insects can be controlled allowing you, your family and your pets to fully enjoy a pest free lawn. Many insects also feed on the grass plants and can cause extensive damage in a short period of time if left untreated. This is a must have for anyone that wants to protect their investment they have made into their lawn or who has pets, enjoys the outdoors, entertains outdoors often or who has a pool in their yard which always seem to attract uninvited pests. From our experiences the less insects found in the lawn the fewer there will be in your home.
The Pest Guys use an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach for our pest control services. For more information, please click on the link, Principals of IPM.
