With Clark’s Smart & Simple Pest Defense System, your home is surrounded by an uninterrupted barrier of protection from a variety of troublesome pests. Clark’s professional technicians and regularly scheduled treatments ensure this barrier is in place and working for you all year long.

"1 year experience with Clark’s Pest Control. Initial treatment with quarterly maintenance treatments. And we scheduled additional treatments between quarters due to the bugs that just kept coming. Despite this the bugs never stopped coming. When Clark’s came they would treat only a specific area. So for example they were called out for Argentine Ants by the trash can. They sprayed and they died but very next day the ants moved to dog bowl. Then you would have to reschedule and they would come out to treat that area. They would not do anything but what any homeowner could accomplish with Raid insecticide themselves. During their coverage new German cockroaches showed up we never had prior. How does a home under pest control develop a problem with bugs it didn’t even have before? They offered additional treatments at additional costs. Clarke’s sent an angry young male as our contact person who we declined immediately due to his agitated behavior and suspected mental illness. They sent a replacement who was a supervisor but the majority of the year the contract was under his care and he failed. You really don’t want Clarke’s undereducated male employees prowling around in your house. I wonder if Clark’s or one of their employees are diluting their chemicals to make more money. After I fired them and spoke to other pest control companies, they acknowledged they are aware of many customers with similar stories leaving Clark’s and only from Clark’s. When I cancelled it was easy, they were happy to get rid of customers like me. They just wanted the spray and bill customer and not actually to provide a service. Yes we understand they are a business but this was more like a scam. We had Clark’s provide a termite estimate as well, my termite guy looked at it and just said you know they aren’t even offering you formite Termite protection which is now endemic in my area. I wonder why they did that but I know. He said most people don’t know the difference and the price is lower so it looks good. Clark’s advertises as a family company which they were, but they are not now, they are a business first, second and third. Do not be fooled, they aren’t there to help they’re just they’re to collect your money. Now that we have been with another company for only 1 month, the bugs are gone. I wish we had moved on from Clarke’s along time ago but we didn’t know we were being taken advantage of."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

Services typically include mowing, edging, trimming, and debris cleanup. Additional options may consist of fertilization and weed control.

Overfertilizing can burn and kill the grass as well as upset the soil's nutrient balance, leaving your grass prone to disease and infestation. You'll know that you have overfertilized your burn when you have recently fertilized and begin to see brown and yellow patches of dead grass that need to be reseeded. 

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 top dress your lawn depends on what type of grass you have and what climate you live in. Cool-season grass should be top dressed in late fall, while warm-season grass should be top dressed in late spring.

Custom fertilization considers grass type, soil condition, and climate, optimizing growth and reducing pests or diseases while improving overall landscape aesthetics.
