Pest Protection and Lawn Treatment for the Winter Months

Orlando, FL, September 24, 2009 --(PR.com)-- With summer finally subsiding and cooler temperatures upon us, insect activity may be driven indoors. Pro-Staff Termite and Pest Control says maintaining a good perimeter barrier against insects and keeping points of entry sealed (windows frames, door frames and eves) is the first line of defense for homeowners and business.

With the change in seasons lawn treatment practices will be adjusted by Pro-Staff technicians and although insect activity will diminish only slightly in central Florida, chinch bugs which have been a problem this summer as a result of their increased resistance to traditional pesticides will become less prevalent.

As temperatures decline, weed control application is performed at full strength without concern of damaging turf grass. Also note that cooler evenings may promote fungus issues and watering habits will need to be adjusted to account for the slower growth in St. Augustine turf grass lawns during fall and winter, if you have any questions about your service or maintaining your lawns and perimeter defenses contact the service department of Pro-Staff Termite and Pest Control for a free Evaluation.
