How the treatment works.
- 01Turf and plant inspectionWe check the sunny stress areas for chinch bugs, turn ficus leaves for whitefly, and look at irrigation coverage, which causes more damage than either.
- 02Targeted applicationTurf treatment where insects are confirmed, systemic soil applications at the root zone of affected ornamentals, and fungicide where a disease is identified.
- 03Scheduled visitsService repeats through the growing season, with hedges under whitefly pressure re-checked each visit.

Seasonality in Southwest Florida
Chinch bugs hit St. Augustine hardest from April through September, showing up first in the sunniest, driest strip along a driveway or sidewalk. Whitefly on ficus runs spring through fall. Turf fungus follows the wet season, particularly on lawns watered in the evening on top of afternoon storms.
