Does Grub Control
also Control Moles?
We hear this question often... So often that it was actually the
inspiration for this FAQ. The fact is grub control does not control
moles. It's not a mole repellant nor a pesticide that targets mammals.
It does, however, control the grub population in your yard and grubs
are one of the things moles eat. Moles also eat earthworms (which
is actually their preferred food source) and subsurface insects.

What happens
if it rains after a Chemical lawn care application?
Grounds Services use granular fertilizer pellets and liquid weed
control. Rain will actually help the granular fertilizer break down
and get into the soil - however, if there is a lot of rain then
the granular fertilizer may be washed off the surface or leach right
through. Liquid weed control will need to be reapplied if it has
rained within 2 hours after our visit. Give us a call to set up
a technician visit.
How long do my
kids and pets need to stay off the lawn?
At least 2-3 hours after a liquid application has been applied (whether
it be weed control, round-up, or insect control). You want the product
to dry completely before you play in the grass.
When can I mow
my lawn?
If you plan on bagging the grass clippings, we ask that you wait
2-3 days. If you do not plan on bagging your clippings, you may
mow the next day since the fertilizer will be discharged back into
the lawn.
