Q and L was quick to respond and incredibly effective in remedying a termite issue. I could not recommend them enough.
Lawn and Ornamental Pests
Palm Beach County lawns, hedges, trees and palms face insect pressure all year. The problems we diagnose most often are chinch bugs in St. Augustine, whitefly on ficus, and scale or other insects on ornamentals that stay in growth nearly year-round.
Lawn and ornamentals pests are broad terms to describe the types of insects that can be seen out in our landscapes. These insects can be broken down in the subcategories of beneficial pests and problematic pests. Problematic pests tend to get all the attention, but using certain plant selections can draw in beneficial insects which can elevate a landscape to the next level (butterfly gardens).
St. Augustine turf and ficus hedges are everywhere in Palm Beach County, which is why chinch bugs and ficus whitefly show up so often on our inspections.
Beneficial Pests:
Assassin bugs, Bees, Butterflies, Dragonflies, Earwigs, Spiders, Lacewings, Lady bugs, Lady Beetle, Praying Mantids, Stink Bugs, Wasps, Yellowjackets etc.
These insects all play a part in biologically controlling the problematic pests that can destroy landscapes. Think of them as miniature pest control operators.
Problematic Pests:
Billbugs, Fall Armyworms, Cutworms, Grass Loopers, Fire Ants, Grasshoppers, Ground Peals, Mole Crickets, Chinch Bug, Spittlebug, Tropical Sod Webworm, White Grubs, Aphids, Beetles, Caterpillars, Scale, Mealybugs, Mites, Snails, Slugs, Sri Lanka Weevils, White Fly, Thrips, et cetera.
The list goes on and new invasive species are added to it all the time.
