What is your approach to pest control and fertilization?
To keep your landscape healthy and beautiful, we apply Lifesoils Command Topdress compost twice annually in the spring and fall. This compost provides your plants with nutrients, improves the soil's moisture retention, and reduces the need for irrigation over time.<hr>Following Sunbridge Stewardship principles, we use a holistic approach to pest management. By focusing on soil health and proper plant selection, we minimize the need for pest control. When problems arise, we first try to remove affected leaves and/or plant parts or manually pick off insects. If necessary, we spot treat using selective rather than broad-spectrum insecticides.
- Benefits of IPM:
- Protecting beneficial insects helps control pests.
- Using the least toxic products first protects the environment.
- Decreasing pesticide use is healthier for your family, pets, and the environment.</li><li>Reducing chemical use lowers costs.
We do not treat structural pests such as termites, rodents, spiders or cockroaches.
