Nvirotect was the first company in Florida to receive the Green Pro designation for environmentally friendly pest control practices. Since then we have continued to develop state of the art procedures for the Green Pest Control Industry. We are 100% focused on providing each and every one of our customers a world class service experience while maintaining the strictest business ethics and quality control procedures. If you choose Nvirotect you can count on a consistent approach, and you can count on us being your provider for many years to come.

"Fraud! Nvirotect is not a reputable company! Steer clear! I have been a customer since 2021. Money wasted! Beware of Nvirotech Lawn Co! My experience with this company was nothing short of a nightmare. They promised a lush, green lawn but delivered dead patches and weeds. Despite several complaints and consistent communication about my dissatisfaction, their customer service employed fraudulent tactics. They led me to believe I had switched from an annual agreement to a month-to-month contract, providing them with additional months to improve their services and my lawn. After six more months of trying to give them a chance to improve, I finally decided to terminate my supposed month-to-month service. However, they then claimed I was never on a month-to-month agreement but was instead locked into an annual contract and demanded payment for a full 12 months of awful service. When I refused to pay, they sent me to a collections agency. Save your money, lawn, and time—avoid this fraudulent company at all costs!! Do yourself a favor and seek out another service. I have since reported them to the BBB."

"We had Evergreen service our lawn for several years. Prior to change in ownership we had good experiences. However device and results declined significantly. We worked with them, giving opportunities to get better. Supervisor would come, make corrections and things briefly improve. Our once beautiful lawn is destroyed and will cost us thousands to get back. Stay away. They will take your money and destroy your lawn. "

"I used Truly Nolan for my Termite Inspection when I purchased the home. They gave it the all clear. I hired them to do the pest control on my home and paid for the entire year. After that, I found drywood termites in the window seat and this year I found siginificant past termite damage in the walls of the master bath during a renovation. the walls and insulation had to be rebuilt. DON'T trust them with your most expensive investment! Since I had already paid for the whole year, I asked them to credit my account for the charge, and they refused. During the year, it routinely took 10 days for an in person treatment response, when pests were found, and they never eliminated silver fish, nor ghost ants (which became an infestation after 6 months, in spite of many calls for service on that front), nor Australian cockroaches. I have no pets and live alone, and keep an impressively cared-for home - which cars & walkers will regularly stop by to ask me & my visitors where I found the landscape accents, lighting, rocks, drain correction remedies, driveway treatment, walkway treatment, etc."

"I'm posting my Complaint Description which I submitted to Better Business Bureau today Buyers Be Aware of this company please read bellow: Extort initial fee of service out of us and performed less than half of what was promised to what we paid for May 2nd, 2020 Service date. Hired this company to do outside pest control, initial clean-up outside which included knocking down spider webs, wasp nests. Bill sales rep promised to have his tech come over May 2nd, 2020 to do outside pest control spray and initial clean-up knocking down spider webs, wasp nest around home, eaves area, lanai and screen enclosure. Tech came in the morning May 2nd did quick spray and performed none of the initial clean-up as company promised. Their tech was in and out of our property in literally less than 7 minutes. Needless to say did nothing of the initial clean-up for what we paid $100 for. It's apparent this company involves in deceiving trade practices to lure in customers initially. At this time I've to rely on a leap of faith as to if the May 2nd outdoor bug-spray whether or not was performed with any integrity or competence at all. Needless to say would be naive for us to believe that it was. Since all the deceiving green shoots that Apex through our way to extort initial fee of service out of us which we paid via credit card before the work was performed and Apex performed less than half of what was promised to what we paid for (and by the way what was done was also performed with the incompetence of epic proportion); We asked Apex to refund $34 to our credit card for initial clean-up and they can keep $66 from $100 that we paid for outdoor spray/clean-up which I said I have no reason to believe given what I have seen that even mere a spray was done with any professionalism or competence. James from Apex replied on May 4th, 2020 that he would refund the money but then company still refuse to do so or even reply back to our 3 attempts to get status on the refund that they promised. I have all of this in writing as a proof of all of the events I mentioned above (emails and texts). I also have photos of the lack of work, professionalism and incompetency performed at our property on May 2nd by this company albeit in less than 7 minutes that their tech was here on our property. Please help us get our money back from this company that we paid for initial clean-up which they never honored. Thanks"

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

The cost ranges from $50 to $200 per visit, depending on the property size and services required. Larger properties or additional tasks like fertilizing may cost more.

No, watering dead grass will not bring it back to life. If the grass on your lawn is truly dead, no amount of water will bring it back to life. However, some methods can bring dying grass back to life. Consider aerating, overseeding, or analyzing your soil to get to the root of why the grass is dying. 

Dog poop can make a fantastic natural fertilizer, but don’t just whack fresh fido feces onto your lawn. Apart from the smell, health risks, and overall ick factor, poop isn’t good for your grass in its unprocessed form. Its high nitrogen levels mean it can burn or even kill your grass. Correctly composted dog poop, on the other hand, is a much safer, odor-free, and effective way to encourage green lawns and blooming borders.

Provided you're using an appropriate starter fertilizer for grass seed, you can put down seeds and fertilizer at the same time. However, putting them down separately, one after the other, on the same day will help to avoid over- or under-applying the lawn food. Avoid using a fertilizer with weed control elements, as these will likely keep the grass seeds from starting.  

The safest method to avoid killing your turf grass is hand pulling Johnsongrass. You can also apply vinegar for a safer herbicide, but it will still burn your lawn if it gets on it.
