Weeds
Weeds grow faster than gossip; let's keep yours under control!
Weeds – the ultimate party crashers of the plant world! They show up uninvited, overstay their welcome, and make a mess of your beautifully manicured lawn. These pesky plants are like the in-laws who just won’t leave; they interfere with the health of your turfgrass, ruin the aesthetic, and leave you wondering how they even got there in the first place.
But don’t worry, you don’t have to get stuck in a never-ending battle with these unwanted guests. Pestinators can help to manage these unwanted visitors and keep your property looking its absolute best.

Your DIY plan for a weed-free property
Want to keep your property looking its best without calling in the pros? Here are some easy DIY methods to keep those pesky weeds under control:
- Hand Weeding: This is a simple and cost-effective way to tackle weeds, especially in small areas. Just make sure to pull out the whole root to prevent them from coming back!
- Boiling Water: Pour boiling water directly on those unwanted weeds to kill them off. It's a great method for young, tender weeds, but be careful not to scald nearby plants.
- Mulching: Cover your soil with organic mulch like wood chips or compost. It not only smothers weeds but also keeps your soil moist and healthy.
- DIY Herbicides: Mix up your own weed killer using vinegar and salt. Just remember, vinegar is non-selective, so use it carefully to avoid harming your favorite plants.
- Soil Solarization: This is a clever trick where you trap the sun's heat under a plastic sheet to kill weeds and boost your soil's health. It takes a bit of planning, but it's a chemical-free way to get the job done!
The important thing is to BE PROACTIVE. Weed control is most effective when you take action with things like fertilization, mowing, watering and overseeding.
