Mowing tips from one of our lawn care experts, Chavez!

1. Don’t cut it too short - this will add stress to your lawn making it vulnerable to hot KC summer heat… PLUS opens up the door for weeds to enter
2. 3-4 inches is length we recommend
3. Regularly sharpen those mower blades — dull blades will just tip and tear instead of cleanly cut, adding additional stress to lawn

We don’t offer mowing services, but mowing plays a big part in the health of your lawn and will go hand in hand as a contributor to the success of the fertilization and other treatments our 7 Step Lawn Care plan provides!

Our technical director (and president of the Missouri Pest Management Association) John Myers (center right) recently joined industry leaders for a proclamation signing with governor at the capital - recognizing the important role pest management professionals play in protecting public health, homes, businesses and food across Missouri.

It’s a reminder that pest control is about much more than eliminating bugs/insects/rodents but also protecting public health, properties and quality of life for the Kansas City communities we serve every day.

Shout out to John for representing us and for all that you do for our industry!

Travel season is upon us and bed bugs are a concern that we often get questions about!

When you first arrive at your hotel room or Airbnb, make sure to leave your luggage in the bathroom or kitchen - away from areas where people sleep - while you do a quick inspection of the mattress, pillow cases, headboard.

When you return home, store your luggage in basement, garage or attic - not near beds - in case you did happen to bring home a stray bed bug or two. Without human flesh to feed on, they’ll likely die in those areas. For more tips on not bringing home bed bugs from vacation, head to our YouTube channel !

Summer evenings > swatting mosquitoes. 🌿

One thing that makes our mosquito treatments different?

We don’t just target mosquitoes. Our treatments are designed to help protect Kansas City families, kids, and pets from other disease-carrying biting insects too — including ticks, fleas, and chiggers that can make spending time outside a whole lot less enjoyable.

And while we’re treating your yard, we’re also mindful of the environment around it. 🌼🐝Our technicians intentionally avoid flowering plants because bee conservation is important to us.

Follow along with Jack as he treats one of our clients’ homes in Leawood and explains how we help families enjoy their yards all summer long. ☀️
