If your soil test has indicated that your lawn lacks sufficient potassium levels, give it the boost it needs with a potassium application.
Think about this: Your lawn is a living, breathing organism, much like your own body. When your body is ill, vitamin C boosts your immune system and overall vitality. Potassium serves the same vital role to your lawn.
The Hidden Perils of Ant Activity
A lush and well-maintained lawn is the pride of any homeowner, adding beauty and serenity to the outdoor space. However, hidden beneath the surface, an army of tiny intruders may be wreaking havoc on the health and aesthetics of your lawn. Ants, seemingly harmless creatures, can actually cause significant damage if left unattended.
Ants are social insects with impressive organizational skills, often building vast underground colonies near or even beneath your lawn. While their industrious nature is admirable, their activity can lead to a range of issues that compromise the health and beauty of your turf.
Here are some of the ways ants can harm your lawn:
Damage
Ant colonies create extensive tunnel systems underground, undermining soil structure and causing erosion that destabilizes your lawn. This can result in uneven surfaces, sinkholes, and bare patches. On top of that, some species, such as thatching ants, feed on grass roots, depriving your lawn of vital nutrients and moisture. The combined effect weakens your turf’s foundation, leaving it more vulnerable to drought, disease, and harsh weather.
Lawn Hazards
Above ground, ants leave behind noticeable mounds that disrupt the look of your lawn. These mounds can smother grass, obstruct mowing, and even create tripping hazards for kids and pets. Disturbing a mound can also lead to painful bites or stings, making your yard less enjoyable and potentially unsafe.
Lawn Damage
In addition to direct damage, ants often “farm” aphids, protecting them in exchange for honeydew. Unfortunately, aphids feed on plant sap, which can cause yellowing, stunted growth, and distorted grass blades. This hidden partnership between ants and aphids creates ongoing stress for your lawn, compounding the problems caused by ant colonies themselves.
Mosquito Exterminator Maryland
Aside from constantly plaguing your family members with their bites, mosquitoes can also be dangerous. Their bites can transfer deadly diseases, such as the West Nile, Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika virus. And considering that a single female mosquito can lay hundreds of eggs in as little as one cup of water, it’s important to protect your yard and family against these menacing pests.
Our team of local mosquito exterminators will provide a free initial inspection, followed by 7 treatments throughout April and November that use eco-friendly and EPA-certified.

Flea Control
Similar to mosquitoes, fleas can also transmit serious diseases, such as Plague, flea-borne typhus, Cat Scratch Disease (CSD), and various parasites, such as tapeworms. If you find fleas on your pets or around carpeted areas, it is important to seek treatment immediately.
We’ll treat areas in your yard where fleas are likely to hibernate and lay their eggs, stopping fleas before they can hatch and attach to your pets. You can rest assured knowing that your services are family-friendly and come with a satisfaction guarantee!

Tick Control Services Maryland
Ticks are not only a nuisance but can pose a serious threat to the health of your family and pets, especially during the summer months. The black-legged tick, which is prevalent in the Northeast, can transmit dangerous pathogens, such as Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and Powassan disease.
Our tick exterminators are highly trained to identify areas around your home where ticks might be hiding, such as bushes, shrubs, and under decks. We then use highly targeted chemical treatments to create a barrier around trees, ornamentals, and your landscaping.

"Great Job Guys!!"
A long time customer of Blades of Green Lawn care, Great company very organized and well run. In addition to the great lawn service I have enjoyed over the years, I was contacted by the B.O.G. automated service alerting me of the arrival of the ZIKA mosquitos. I followed their advice and had both of my properties treated! Since the treatment I no longer have to fear getting a little head, or whatever this ZIKA thing causes.
"Thank you Blades of Green"
I have used Blades of Green for almost ten years and my lawn is beautiful! They follow a good business model in that they always call ahead to let me know they are coming, and they give me a full report afterwards.
