Insect & Disease Control

We at YardApes, Inc. practice what is known as Integrated Pest Management. Integrated Pest Management is defined as "a process consisting of the balanced use of cultural, biological, and chemical procedures that are environmentally feasible, and socially acceptable to reduce pest populations to tolerable levels." The two most important elements in this practice are monitoring and knowledge of both the plants and pests involved. Keeping your lawn and landscape healthy through proper management practices (ie. fertilizing, pruning, mowing, watering, and mulching properly) will greatly reduce potential pest problems. By catching a pest problem early, pesticides can be used in lesser amounts or possibly avoided.
