Fall Updates

Fall is finally here and it's finally tolerable to spend some time outdoors. As day length and temperatures drop, the growth rate of your lawn and most landscape plants will slow down as well. Proper fertilization in the fall is important as turfgrasses and most landscape plants, as nutrients are converted to stored carbohydrates as temperatures cool. Winter-annual weeds begin to emerge in the Fall, and are often more visible as they grow over the grass canopy. A very common lawn disease that recurs every Fall through Spring is Large Patch Fungus​. This fungal disease infects the grass leaf blades and sheaths, turning the grass yellow to orange, often (not always) in circular patterns. And lets not forget about turfgrass pests such as Sod Webworms and Chinch Bugs, which are still very active.
Watering Your Lawn and Landscape
One of the most common questions we get asked is "when and how much should I water?" The most accurate answer is - water your landscape when it begins to dry out, with 3/4 to 1 inch of water per cycle. Although this watering regiment doesn't follow a set schedule, it will conserve water and keep your landscape looking its best. For more information on watering your lawn, please click here.

Should the Inside of My House Be Sprayed For Bugs?
In most situations the answer is no! Our veteran pest prevention experts can treat most active pest infestations from the exterior of the property. If interior treatments are deemed necessary, we take great care to use the safest products available and apply them in a manner that minimizes exposure to your family and pets. There is no purpose for routine pesticide applications inside your home. Contact us today for a free pest prevention evaluation and proposal.

New Sod Treatments
Fall time is usually a good season for turfgrass renovations, which early Spring is the best time to install new sod. Right now, daytime and nighttime temperatures are ideal for sod establishment, new sod establishes quickly, and pest-pressure is lower than in Summertime.
Regardless of the time of year​,
​Prior to new sod selection and installation, it is a good idea to submit soil samples for pH, nutrient, and sometimes nematode analyses. Just as important is ensuring that the area to be sodded receives ample photosynthetic light to support the grass variety to be sodded. It is important to treat new sod with insecticide and fungicide shortly following installation. Armyworms, sod webworms, chinch bugs, hunting billbugs, leaf spot and root-rot diseases are often problematic in new sod installations. Protect your investment - call us today at (407)532-8188 to schedule your soil tests and new sod preventive insecticide & fungicide application!

Beware of Stinging Insects
Most of us enjoy the outdoors. While spending time outside, we must be aware of stinging insects. Fire ants, bigheaded ants, wasps, and other stinging insects are very active this time of year. Contact us for more information on management of stinging insects in your home or landscape.

Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are relentless! While the County Mosquito Control Divisions are ramping up mosquito fogging and applications of larvicides over standing water, they are not treating on privately-owned properties. That's where we come in! Give EPLS a call today at (407)532-8188 to learn how we can help suppress mosquitoes at your home or business!
