Will treatments get rid of Moles, and Armidillos?

Unfortunately, one of their favorite foods is earthworms. We do not get rid of earthworms or beneficial insects.

Why are mushrooms growing?

They’re usually a sign of moisture and decaying organic matter—not a lawn disease.

Should I bag my clippings?

Usually no. Clippings recycle nutrients unless disease is present.

Why are weeds growing after treatment?

Herbicides take time to work. Some weeds require multiple applications, and drought conditions can slow results.
