New Pesticide Restrictions Prevent lawn near bodies of water from looking its Best

The Pest Geek Podcast Worlds #1 Pest Control Training Podcast

[wordpress] Do not skip this video as we'll be discussing how state and federal pesticide restrictions prevent beautiful lawns and gardens near bodies of water. Pesticide laws and safety are important issues that need to be discussed, especially when it comes to lawns and gardens near bodies of water. We have serviced this lakefront property for well over a decade but we have never been able to fix some issues with this beautiful lawn lined with over 30 palm trees. On today's edition of the Pestgeek Podcast with integrated pest control management professional Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez explains how lakefront properties place two important restrictions on pest control services. Ten to fifteen feet from the water, it is illegal to treat this lawn with fertilizer and the problems are clearly visible: weeds. Florida and federal laws do not allow insecticides nor fungicides to be sprayed within ten to 15 feet from a body of water. Another issue is the fact that the lawn is being 'scalped' (mowed at 1 inch length). The optimum length should be at least three inches.It should be noted, however, that chemicals do not make the grass green. What makes grass green is proper cultural care. 5 things that every lawn needs to grow successfully: -right plant in the right place (correct growing environment)-right amount of irrigation-right mowing frequency-right mowing height-sharp blade #pesticides #lawncare #lawntips #lawn2022 #pesticide #fungicides #pestcontrolmiami #pestcontroltraining #pestcontrol #pestcontrolservice #pest Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PestgeekpodcastWeb Site: https://pestgeekpodcast.com/category/podcast/Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/pestgeekpodcast/Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pestgeekpodcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/pestgeekpodcastLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-hernandez-49832a55/Linkedin Business Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pestgeekpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pestgeekpodcast/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pestgeekpodcast/ https://www.youtube.com/embed/roYRlIt3a9s
