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. In June 2015, Dial Pest Control®, Dial Lawn Watch® and Dial Moldcure Pro® became part of newly formed Dial Environmental®. Simply put - We Choose Green First® Visit us at www.dialpestcontrol.com.

"Five big trees, including ones that were next to power lines, hanging over the shed, and other challenges. Rob, Jamie, Evan, and Brian were awesome. They worked hard for almost two full days, did a great job, and the yard is cleaner than when they started. I'm sure someone else might be cheaper, but Davey was still less than another highly rated company on Angie's list and definitely worth the ~$5,000."

"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.

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

A lawn that suddenly and quickly turns yellow is typically the result of a dramatic change in the grass's environment. Heavy rainfall can dilute soil nutrients, rapidly yellowing the grass, and dull lawn mower blades can dry out and damage the grass in a short time. Over-fertilizing can yellow a lawn within a matter of days. 

Sugar water helps the microorganisms in the soil break down nutrients, thus helping certain plants grow. In other words, it is okay to water plants with sugar water, but exercise caution and never rely on sugar when fertilizing your grass. Sugar is not plant food and, if applied too liberally, kills the plants you intend to help.

Yellow patches, poor growth, or widespread weeds indicate a need for treatment. Soil testing can confirm nutritional deficiencies that require intervention.

Technically, yes—and you may have some successful growth—but this isn’t the ideal way to fill in sparse areas. By clearing leaves and debris, amending the soil, and aerating it properly before you lay the seeds, you’re providing the most ideal conditions for them to germinate.

The best fertilizer for your lawn contains a balance of the nutrients your grass needs for long-term health. A soil test can tell you the optimum nutrient balance. However, to repair yellow grass quickly, assuming all it needs is fertilizer, apply a nitrogen-rich blend that promotes fast growth.
