Dial Pest Control® opened for business in 1978. In 1985, owners Steve Adams and Jerry Smith purchased the company. The real estate boom of the late 80’s propelled the company into termite certifications and treatments to satisfy mortgage requirements. In 1999, the first "green" initiative offered termite baiting systems over chemical-only treatments. In 2011, a new division was created, MoldCure Pro® to treat homes for mold by using green solutions. In 2012, the business grew exponentially by providing victims of Hurricane Sandy environmentally friendly mold care options. Consumer awareness for green treatments further identified the company as a green provider. In January 2015, the business expanded with the acquisition of Lawn Watch Nature’s Pro., expanding green customer base.

"I hired Perennial Lawn Services to do my fall core aeration and seed in October of 2020. When the job was done, there were pockets of areas that were not seeded. I informed them in November and Charlie A, said it will be addressed. He sent David S to look at the property in late November and he said the following in an email "There are a few areas that will need some attention in the spring. The hill on the left side, the back left corner, and the right side of the driveway are the areas in particular. Ive put in a service call to visit the property around April 1st." 2021. I reminded them a few times after April 1st 2021 and on 5/5/21 David S said "Yes, it will be addressed. Thank you for your patience," However, the issue has not been addressed. When I complained to BBB, Perennial Services responded BBB saying that they have not heard from me about this issue. I can provide documented proof of the communication with Taylor W, Linn K - all cc'd on communication. Bottom line don't deal with them. If they can blatantly dispute a documented conversation, will you really trust them?"

"Crooks…..save your money….had ants coming in my front door in my brand new house. They “dusted” and “baited” outside so they said and when the problem got worse and I called and they blamed me for issue not working because I killed the ants. I was supposed to leave them where my two babies walk and crawl. Bought my own professional pesticide and haven’t had an ant since. Also had another pest company come and inspect their termite traps they put in and guess what traps were no good. I removed and left at curb and asked them to pick up….they also removed my old traps and put in their truck which is breaking epa regulations which is on camera and left with them……save ur money by stuff off Amazon do it yourself with none diluted fake chemicals"

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

Bermuda grass may be drought-resistant, but it still needs to be watered once or twice a week. The suggested amount of water Bermuda grass needs varies from season to season. Bermuda grass needs about 1 inch of water a week in summer, fall, and winter; it needs up to ¾ inch in spring.

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.

You don't want to over-fertilize your lawn because it can burn the grass and even kill it. Healthy soil usually requires two fertilization applications a year during the height of the growing season. This fertilization schedule typically starts at the start of fall and the end of spring, depending on the grass type and plants.

In most cases, it is worth paying for professional lawn care. DIY lawn maintenance is possible, but it can get extremely time-consuming, especially to make your property look well-maintained. Not only is lawn maintenance time-intensive, but it can also get expensive, even to DIY, especially considering the cost of fuel and maintenance for your lawn care tools. Professional lawn care services average around $100 per service, making it a relatively inexpensive investment, especially for how much time it saves you.
