Saela Pest Control is a locally owned and operated company eliminating everyday pests such as ants, spiders, bed bugs, and fleas, and tougher pests such as mosquitoes, wasps, and rodents. We offer our residential customers years of knowledge, training, expertise, and a pest-free environment for peace of mind. At Saela Pest Control, we care about protecting you from pests long-term and will always provide a high-quality service at a great value that we back up with our Saela Pest Control warranty. Our products and equipment are of the highest quality to ensure effective treatment. Still, the best part is that the products we use for pest control treatments are not dangerous to you, your family or pets.

"They were okay for the first 8 months but recently in the past 2 months nobody did any service to my house as seen from my outdoor cameras and I was still being charged for it. I blocked the payment for the second time and called customer service to cancel my account. They informed me I must pay the amount due before canceling even though they didn't do the service. I reluctantly paid and after they charged me the money they mentioned that they will transfer me to someone who can cancel my service. After waiting a couple minutes the person got back on the line saying they can't get in touch of the people who can cancel my service and they can't do it themselves even though they just charged me saying I have to pay before canceling. They said they will call me back in 24-48h where I can cancel then. Clearly this is a tactic to avoid people canceling by making them wait and sending them in a circle till they forget about it. What a scam of a service."

"Everything went as planned. The crew showed up as scheduled. They were very professional, competent, efficient and thorough. The entire process from set-up to clean-up took about 8 hours. They used a crane to lift large limbs that the 'climber' had previously cut. Most of the wood was fed into a chopper, but quite a number of the larger limbs were neatly piled to be picked up the following week. A couple of weeks later, the final work was performed as the stumps were ground down. The workplace - my yard - was neatly cleaned up after the work was performed. Aside from two large piles of chips, neatly stacked over the where the stumps were, there are no signs I had either trees or worked performed to remove them."

"I'm going to try and remain as objective as possible in this review, but do yourself a favor and DO NOT hire TruGreen. After several years with a local lawn care company, I was enticed to switch over to TruGreen given the number of promotions being offered. I had used TruGreen at another residence and was not happy, but it was over a decade ago, and I thought it couldn't hurt to give them a second chance. I was dead wrong. First, the actual service constantly would get rescheduled, and when someone did actually come out to treat the lawn, they would be here for no more than 10 minutes. I can verify that given that I work remotely and know exactly when they arrive compliments of our family dog's barking notification. The robotic service was evident in the worsening condition of the lawn. And while it could be dependent on things I did wrong in my upkeep, I'm aware of what length to mow the lawn and do have an automated sprinkler system to make sure it receives enough water. During rainy periods, I turn that off as to not overwater. The condition of the lawn was the worst I've ever seen in every facet from weeds to spotting to the overall color of the lawn. Next, the customer service element appears friendly and available, but does not actually solve any problems. I simply tried to cancel my service. If TruGreen hired as many service people as they do sales people, they may actually have a chance. I was getting calls around the clock from individuals trying to restore service and harass me about the condition of my surrounding trees and bushes to upsell even more services. How about you focus on what you were hired to do, and do that well, before you push yourselves for more revenue? Customer service's solution was to send someone out to do an "analysis." This is code for "we're restoring your services without your permission" as if they "saved" the account. The analysis revealed nothing despite the feedback, and there was no willingness to explain the findings, just that this step was completed. I finally had enough and canceled all services plus pushed to be removed from all sales lists. This is a joke of a company that has no desire to provide anyone with good lawn care services. This is a greedy, revenue first, sales staff over service team members focused organization. If I could give a negative rating, I would, but here we are."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

In most municipalities, landscaping companies require a business license to operate legally, and some require additional licenses, like general contractor licenses. You can use Angi's our contractor licensing tool to confirm if a company in your area holds the necessary licensing. Equally as important as the license is insurance. Before hiring any lawn care company, you should confirm that it is fully insured. This measure protects you from lawsuits, and it also protects the employees in the case of an injury or unemployment.

If the grass is dead, you cannot bring it back to life. However, you can grow new grass in its place or try the methods mentioned above to revive the grass if it isn’t entirely dead. You can expect St. Augustine grass to come back after moderate droughts, but it will suffer significant nutrient loss after an extended period of drought.

One of the most effective ways to improve lawn absorption is to learn how to aerate your lawn. This is a process where you poke tiny holes all throughout it to break up tough soil and sediment, creating pathways for sunlight, water, air, and nutrients to seep into the plant’s roots. In turn, it promotes stronger root systems, making your lawn or plants less susceptible to pests and disease. Ideally, you’ll want to aerate your lawn at least once per year during the growing season—think late summer to early fall. 

The best time to fight crabgrass with pre-emergent herbicide is when forsythias tend to bloom. In the mid-Atlantic region, this is usually between April and May. Even if you're late to apply the herbicide, it’s effective as long as the crabgrass plant has fewer than five leaves.

Mowing is one of the most important ways to maintain your lawn because it encourages grass to grow horizontally, creating a fuller, more uniform yard. On top of mowing your lawn, you’ll want to routinely fertilize your lawn, water it regularly, and take care of pests the moment they arise.
