PESTICIDES

At Babin Landscaping we take a minimalist approach in using pesticides, and herbicides. We believe in using an integrated pest and weed management approach to beautify your lawn, plants and trees. In general, careful monitoring and renovation to promote healthy turf may be the wisest, most economical choice for the long-term application. Lesser problems may be solved by use of chemicals on a short term or spot treatment basis with better cultural practices as a follow-up.

Pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides, used in moderation, can help to rid diseases such as brown spots, red thread, and snow mold as well as insect problems including grubs, chinch bugs, Japanese beetles and others to enable homeowners to have healthy, attractive lawns. In properly maintained lawns the thick healthy turf will crowd out most weed species and will not be severely affected by most common outdoor insects. If the lawn is cut at the proper height, watered and fertilized properly, the incidence of fungus diseases will be lessened.
