Termites are attracted to homes primarily by moisture, accessible wood, and easy entry points. Conditions like leaking pipes, damp soil around the foundation, wood touching the ground, or cracks in exterior walls can make it easier for termites to invade and begin feeding on structural wood. In warm, humid climates like the Treasure Coast area and Southeast Florida, termites remain active year-round, making regular inspections and preventative termite control especially important.

Fertilizing your lawn every two weeks is generally not recommended because grass can only absorb a limited amount of nutrients at a time. Applying fertilizer too frequently can lead to fertilizer burn, weak root systems, and excessive top growth. Most lawns benefit from a balanced fertilization schedule spaced several weeks apart depending on grass type, soil conditions, and seasonal growth patterns.

You can typically see results from lawn fertilization within 1 to 5 days after the nutrients are absorbed, especially with fast-acting fertilizers. Slow-release formulas take longer but usually show noticeable improvements in color and growth within a couple of weeks. Factors like grass type, soil health, and weather conditions can affect how quickly your lawn responds. Homeowners in the Treasure Coast area and Southeast FL often achieve better outcomes with properly timed fertilization programs.
