We are an
organic based lawn care provider that encourages that every customer
strive for a pesticide-free lawn. Our PureLawn program uses premium
organic fertilizers and is safe for children and pets. |
|
What
is your definition of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)? |
|
Using the least
amount of pesticides, if any, as possible. We communicate with our
customers about their expectations concerning pests, seeking alternative
methods to reduce or eliminate those pests, and doing all of this
in an environmentally responsible way. |
|
Is pest management performed on a specific schedule? |
|
On a per customer
basis. We encourage increased monitoring as opposed to prevention
programs that apply blanket herbicide applications that are unnecessary. |
|
How
are pest problems identified? |
|
Our trained technicians
monitor and identify pest problems. We monitor as much as possible;
however, we provide free service calls and encourage our customers
to help monitor and communicate if a problem arises. |
|
What practices
do you use to prevent and/or control pests? |
|
Prevention includes
using good cultural practices (such as mowing, aeration, overseeding). |
|
Do you
use biological controls? |
|
Do you
use synthetic chemicals? |
|
What
are the top 10 pesticides you use/sell/recommend? |
|
If pesticides are used, how much are used per year of each? |
|
We spot treat
weeds as needed for customers who request this service. |
|
Does
your company perform habitat modification? |
|
Do you
use any physical or mechanical controls? |
|
We suggest high
mowing heights, proper watering, and organic fertilizer to help soil
life. |
|
What
type of fertilizers do you use/sell/recommend? |
|
We use premium
organic fertilizers that feed the soil and turf, where as traditional
lawn care companies primarily feed the turf through the tips of the
grass, with chemicals. Our organic fertilizers feed organic matter
to beneficial microorganisms and the root system in your soil. Instead
of depleting the biological activity (which is crucial for a healthy
soil), we are increasing the activity, not destroying it. |
|
What
do you usually use/sell/recommend for addressing: |
|
other |
Beet extract
for broadleaf weeds. |
|
How do
you evaluate effectiveness of your pest management |
|
Our effectiveness
is accepted amongst educated customers who believe that safer lawns
that aren't necessarily perfect are worth the trade-off. |
