FAQ

  • St. Augustine Grass

    • How do I know which pests are infesting my St. Augustine grass?
      Since most lawn pests cause very similar symptoms, it can be difficult for non-professionals to determine the cause of their lawn’s issues. That’s why the best way to know which pests are infesting your St. Augustine grass and, by extension, which lawn pest solutions will work best is to depend on lawn professionals.
    • How do I keep my St. Augustine grass healthy?
      To keep your St. Augustine grass healthy, you’ll need to protect it from pests and diseases, give it sufficient water and drainage, and make sure it is fertilized properly. We can help with all of that here at Coastal Lawn and Pest!

  • Palm Tree Care

    • How do I know if my palm tree is diseased or infested?
      Some common signs of disease or infestation include discoloration, wilting, stunted growth, and pest damage. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to call a professional in palm tree care near you for an inspection.
    • Can I apply nutrients to my palm trees on my own?
      It's best to leave this to the professionals. Applying nutrients without proper knowledge and technique could damage your palms. At Coastal Lawn and Pest, our experts can inject the right nutrients in the correct amounts and at the right times to be effective.

  • Shrub Care

    • How often will you come out to treat my shrubs?
      We recommend quarterly or bimonthly treatments to ensure your shrubs are receiving the necessary care and attention. However, this may vary depending on the size of your property and the type of shrub being treated.
    • What kind of products do you use?
      We only use highly effective, environmentally friendly products that are safe for your family and pets. Depending on the type of shrub being treated, we may use fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, or other treatments as needed.

  • Fertilization

    • Does fertilization increase my water usage?
      No, in fact, it can actually reduce your water usage. Fertilization helps promote healthy soil, which improves the ability of grass to absorb and hold onto moisture better. This helps minimize evaporation and increases the effectiveness of watering.
    • Is fertilization safe for my pets and family?
      Yes, when done properly, fertilization is safe for your pets and family. We use only high-quality products that are designed to be gentle on the environment. Additionally, our team follows strict safety protocols to ensure that your lawn is receiving the best care possible.

  • Lawn Care

    • What are the benefits of professional lawn care services?
      Benefits include improved overall health and appearance, reduced risk of weed infestation or disease problems, and increased property value. Having us take care of your lawn can also save you time and effort that would otherwise be spent on manual labor.
    • How often should I get my lawn treated?
      The frequency of treatments will depend on the type and severity of any existing issues, as well as your desired results. We will provide you with a customized plan that outlines a recommended schedule, and we can also adjust our plan as needed.

  • Irrigation

    • Why do I need irrigation for my lawn?
      You need lawn irrigation because inefficient watering can leave you with an astronomical water bill and a lawn depleted of topsoil and nutrients, while leaving the watering to Mother Nature can wilt and even kill your grass during the dry season.
    • Can I install irrigation myself?
      You can install irrigation yourself, but it’s much better to let a reputable irrigation company like Coastal Lawn And Pest handle this complex work. We have training and certifications to ensure we can install the latest and greatest systems in the best and most budget-friendly way possible.

  • Turf Damaging

    • How do I know if my lawn problems are caused by pests?
      Most of the time, you can tell if your lawn problems are caused by pests or diseases because the grass begins to die in patches that start out small and spread until they meet in the middle. This is one of the biggest signs that your grass is not suffering from water or fertilizer issues but disease or infestation.
    • What can I do about pests in my turf?
      The best pest control for lawns is professional pest control. Hiring professional pest control services means you’re getting top-notch treatments and inspections from trained professionals with vast knowledge of Cape Coral area pests.

  • Rodent

    • Why do I have a rodent problem?
      Rodents look for food, water, and shelter in homes and businesses. Common entry points include holes or cracks around the foundation, vents, or gaps in windows and doors. Once inside, they can quickly multiply and cause a lot of damage.
    • How can I prevent a future infestation?
      Sealing any holes or cracks around windows, vents, and other potential entry points can help keep rodents out. Additionally, it’s important to practice good sanitation habits like cleaning up food and water spills promptly and keeping lids on garbage cans.

  • Ants

    • Are fire ants dangerous?
      When disturbed or threatened, fire ants deliver a sting that can cause an intense burning sensation and can lead to allergic reactions in some people. It’s important to avoid contact with these pests and seek professional help if they infest your property.
    • What should I do if I find fire ants?
      The best way to deal with a fire ant infestation is to contact a professional for help; DIY solutions are largely ineffective and can even be dangerous. Our team of technicians has the experience needed to eliminate fire ants quickly and safely.
