Q: Are herbicides for weed control safe?

• <div><p>All herbicides come with risks, but you can control and mitigate risks by discussing your options with your weed service company before application. Some companies use milder or sustainable herbicides more times per season to control weeds rather than one to two herbicide sprayings annually. You can also ask your professional about pet-friendly and kid-friendly services. In most cases, though, you can wait a few days after the application for the herbicides to soak into the ground, at that point they shouldn&rsquo;t pose a risk to you or your family.</p></div>

Q: What are some common lawn aeration add-ons?

• <div><p>When hiring a lawn aeration professional, they may suggest other related services to get your lawn looking lush and fabulous. Prior to scheduling any of the following services, you should consult your lawn care pro about the order and timing of multiple projects to ensure best results for your grass. These services might include:</p><ul><li><p>Lawn mowing</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/overseed-lawn-guide.htm">Overseeding or reseeding your lawn</a></p></li><li><p>Fertilizing</p></li><li><p>Dethatching</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Is it better to pull weeds or spray them?

• <div><p>Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what&rsquo;s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn&rsquo;t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.</p></div>

Q: How do you kill weeds without killing grass?

• <div><p>Very carefully. You should be cautious when using any of the above methods, as any one of them could lead to you accidentally killing desired grasses and plants. However, there are selective herbicides that can target certain plants over others. Look for a product that only affects the type of weeds you want to eliminate and spares the plants you want to keep. </p></div>

Well, it was shocking how much the clean out produced. I am convinced that it is a service that should be performed for all dryer vents. The technician was friendly and efficient. Would totally recommend.
