| Q | Will receiving a grub control insecticide reduce my mole problem? |
| |
| A | In most cases, no. 90% of a mole's diet is earthworms and only 10% grubworms. So you could see a reduction in mole activity from an insecticide, but the control would be marginal. |

| Q | My lawn has a lot of crabgrass, should I focus on treatments or overseeding or both? |
| |
| A | In most cases an aggressive 5-7 application program will solve the problem. The most common mistake is homeowners neglect treatments to seed. This is a huge mistake. Treatments first, seed second. |

| Q | I am getting lawn treatments, a spring application and a fall application, but my lawn is not filling in like I had hoped. Why aren't those treatments helping? |
| |
| A | A spring and fall approach is a bare bones approach, it is never recommended, but homeowners select it for cost savings. When you only select 2 treatments per year, you should expect modest results. Like my dad always said... "do not expect a Cadillac at a Chevy price." Increasing treatments will solve problems, guaranteed! |

| Q | My wife likes the lawn cut short at 2", but now my yard has a lot of crabgrass in July, why do I have crabgrass if you are treating for it? |
| |
| A | Cutting height is the most important thing in controlling weeds. Cutting the lawn at 2" instead of 3" increases crabgrass 50-100%. A small thing like raising cutting height will guarantee results with treatments. But proper mowing is just as important and often overlooked. |
