As we gear up for summer days and sunnier skies, it’s not just pool parties and cookouts that spring up—so do uninvited guests like ants, mosquitoes, grubs, and more. If it feels like your yard becomes a summer retreat for pests, you’re not imagining things. At Nature’s Select®, we believe your outdoor space should be a haven for you, not a haven for creepy crawlies. Here’s how we help you deal with summer lawn pests.
North Carolina summers create the perfect storm for pest activity: heat, humidity, and lush lawns. Insects like mosquitoes thrive in standing water, while ants and grubs prefer to make their homes in healthy soil. If your yard has thick grass and shaded areas, you may be unknowingly rolling out the welcome mat.
The good news? You don’t have to spend your summer battling bugs. Start by eliminating standing water in flowerpots, gutters, and birdbaths—mosquitoes only need a bottle cap’s worth to breed. Keep grass mowed to the correct height and trim back shrubs to reduce shady, moist hiding spots. Then, call in the pros. At Nature’s Select®, we use science-based strategies that treat pests without harming your lawn, pets, or pollinators. Our pest management approach is targeted, sustainable, and proven to work in our unique climate.
A strong, thriving lawn is your first line of defense. Pests are more likely to move in when your grass is stressed or thinning. We offer customized care plans that keep your lawn thick and healthy, crowding out pests before they have a chance to settle in. We also provide specialty services that tackle stubborn lawn issues like bahia grass control, nutsedge control, and broadleaf weed control—because weeds can weaken your lawn and give pests more room to spread.
Don't let unwanted guests bug your summer. With Nature’s Select® on your side, you can relax and enjoy your yard without swatting and spraying every weekend. Our team is local, experienced, and ready to help you reclaim your lawn from pests and weeds.
