Grassy Weeds

Did you know weeds are pests too? Unfortunately, grassy weeds are a part of our SW Florida landscape. Seeds lie and wait for the right conditions to germinate. These conditions may include weather, timing, turf stress, etc… Some grassy weeds, like Sedge, can be controlled with  a weed program from Well’s Termite & Pest Control. While Crabgrass, Carpet Grass and others can only be controlled using a non-selective herbicide like Round-Up. Bermuda Grass can also propagate in our lawns, especially if we live near golf courses. The seeds are blown in by wind, mowing and even bird droppings. Often, damage to your lawn from insects, fungus or just drought can cause bare areas in your turf, allowing these pesky weeds to pop up. Call Well’s Termite & Pest Control  today to discuss the best program for your lawn.
