When professional help is needed, there are points to consider when contacting local companies to ensure you select one that has all the legal and educational requirements needed to provide the proper lawn service in Boise for your needs.

Is there a difference between lawn care and lawn maintenance services? There actually is a difference, and these are actual text terms. As taught in universities, such as CSU, University of Idaho, as well as so many others in the horticultural and green industry curriculums.

Lawn CARE is the aspect of turf care having to do with fertilization, weed control, and other control such as disease and insect…Basically, the chemical end. Lawn MAINTENANCE is the mechanical aspect such as the mowing, edging, blowing debris. Commonly in the landscape industry, these terms are often used together or substituted for each other. Many companies provide both services, which are very convenient for the consumer.

Diamond Lawns was established as primarily a mowing service company. Diamond Lawnsdeveloped into a company with specific divisions managed by experts.

Our Lawn Service in Boise divisions include:

● Landscaping (residential, commercial, renovation, and hardscaping).

● Property Maintenance (fertilizer, weed control, property cleanup & pruning, mowing, sprinkler system maintenance).

● Residential and Commercial Pest Control (insect, disease, rodent, mold, mildew, bird or other nuisance).

● Snow Removal

Some of the above problems may be more than a homeowner or commercial business can handle or want to handle and may require a qualified professional pesticide applicator.

Be sure to verify that the landscaping company in Boise has the following:

● Idaho Pesticide Applicator Certification (This is state certification and licensing requirements for Pest Management Professionals or PMP’s).

PMP’s are skilled in the science of solving pest problems. PMP’s are certified by their state regulatory agency in the safe use, storage, and disposal of pesticides according to federal and state laws.

● Idaho Business License (which requires companies to have general liability insurance coverage specific to pesticide applications)

● Inquire about ongoing education in safety, training, research, and regulations.

● Request local references in addition to checking with the Chamber of Commerce and

Better Business Bureau regarding any past performance issues. Keep in mind that issues may be positive or negative.

● Ask the company if they have integrated pest management (IPM) approach to their offered programs. IPM refers to the approach of managing pests, such as insects, plant diseases, weeds, and rodents by integrating cultural, biological, mechanical and chemical tactics that are safe and environmentally compatible.

Five Main Benefits of Hiring a Pest Control Company in Boise

Cost

The purchase price for chemicals is generally cheaper for a professional exterminator since they are able to purchase their products at wholesale prices and in bulk. More importantly, they will use the right product for the pest that is infesting your home or business. Knowing the insect and the correct product to use is half the battle. Ants are not just ants. Different species may require different types of products and applications. You as the property owner may not be able to properly identify the pest; hence, spending more money on products in an attempt to correct your pest issue.

Risk

Using pest control products come with a risk to your health, the health of your family and the environment. Pest control companies are not only trained to use pesticides safely, but they are also regulated by state and federal laws which help protect non-target animals from exposure to the pesticides

Time

Sometimes, controlling pest infestations takes time, and using pest control products in a timely matter is key to successfully protecting your home. If you are looking to do it on your own, you can easily forget when to retreat your home or business. Pest control companies monitor and report every time they spray and know when to retreat before the product stops working. The best part is; if you need help with a new onslaught of bugs, many companies will come back and retreat for free.

Expertise

A pest control expert in Boise has the knowledge and experience needed to safely and effectively eliminate pests from your home. While buying a pesticide may seem like the easiest option. A professional has the training to accurately identify the type of pest you are dealing with which then allows the applicator to implement the most efficient manner of extermination.

Safety

Pest control experts know what products are safe and eco-friendly. When you choose to use over the counter pesticides to eradicate pests from your home, you may not be aware of the side effects they can have on your family or pets. A licensed professional has the knowledge to explain safety protocols to you before using a product. They also have alternative methods of eliminating those unwanted pests from your property.
