Orange Beech Weed
You may be one of the many homeowners for which some form of pest control is necessary in the fall.
Weeds and other plant “pests”, however, are very difficult to control if left by themselves, and should be treated with preventative measures, by the application of a pre-emergent herbicide.
Since weeds grow in 2 main cycles, applying both a pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide in the fall will greatly reduce the amount of weeds that would otherwise pop up during the cool months, and similarly, applying both pre- and post-emergent herbicides in the spring will keep those pesky warm-season weeds at bay, as well.
And while you may need to spray for bugs and spiders, please note that these types of pesticides should ONLY be applied if there is a pest problem, not as a preventative measure.
