Q. I'm interested in services from GreenScape, but I have a contract with a different company.

A. You need to look at your contract. Most contracts allow you to cancel it with 30 day notice. Usually, as long as you pay your previous provider for the services that they provided , there shouldn't be a problem.

Q. Do you treat for [enter pest, disease, or weed here]?

A. Most likely, yes. It would be impossible to list every pest that we can treat for. The best course of action is to call us, and let us examine the problem. We can then make a professional recommendation.

Q. How long will it take for my treatment(s) to take effect?

A. It depends on the chemical that has been applied. Most work quickly, however it can take weeks for the desired results to become apparent.

Q. What is a Pesticide, Herbicide, Insecticide, Fungicide?

A. These are all terms that define how a lawn chemical works. Herbicides, Insecticides, and Fungicides are all Pesticides. Meaning that they're intended to control pests. Generally speaking, herbicides control weeds. Insecticides control insects. And fungicides control fungus.

Q. What's the difference between a selective pesticide, and a non selective pesticide?

A. A non-selective pesticide is designed to control a large range of pests. RoundUp is an example of a non-selective herbicide. Selective pesticides on the other hand are intended to control a specific pest, or closely related family of pests. These are used to treat for certain pests such as Yellow Nut Sedge without harming the surrounding turf, or soil.

Q. Are the treatments safe for my pets?

A. Lawn treatments containing pesticides pose a minimal risk. Although the pesticides themselves will rarely affect people, or animals, This risk is typically measured in the amount of material that can be dislodged from the target area. As soon as pesticides dry in a liquid application, approximately 10% of the material can be dislodged from the target area. 24 hours later, less than 1% is dislodgable. The risk of hurting your animals or children is negligible. If this is a major concern, GreenScape recommends vacating the treated area for 6-24 hours after the treatment has dried.
