Effective Landscape Pest Control

Production and maintenance of high-quality landscape environments require an effective pest management program. Pesticide applicators are frequently called upon to identify the cause of damage to turf or ornamentals and to “treat” the plants with a suitable product to correct the damage. Such use of a pesticide may be appropriate. Homeowners incorrectly assume that the only way to prevent plant damage is with some type of pesticide. This assumption may lead to the misuse of pesticides and damage to the plants or the environment.
