TruGreen is a professional lawn care service and landscape design company that goes to great efforts to give its customers a healthy and beautiful lawn. TruGreen provides science-based solutions that are tailor to meet the unique needs of every individual customer. A leader in the professional U.S. lawn care industry, TruGreen helps people get a lawn they'll love.
TruGreen is a company that specializes in lawn care, so it only makes sense that it provides lawn pest control solutions. Customers can select from the TruShield℠ Tick and Flea Control Plan, Grub Prevention and Control Services or Fire Ant Control Services. Each plan targets and helps reduce the number of insects around a home. Most homeowners know how annoying it is to have bugs and other insects flying or crawling around their home, but on top of that many outdoor pests can spread diseases or cause allergic reactions in both people and pets. Thankfully, every TruGreen specialist is equipped to handle these insect control issues.
TruShield Lawn Pest Control addresses almost any major insect/pest problem:
*Ant control is not included in TruShield for all locations; the program does not control fire ants
The Grub Prevention plan can help protect a lawn from various types of beetles and other common pests that will burrow themselves into the soil and help themselves to the grassroots.
TruGreen's Fire Ant Control Services can be administered in two different ways: broadcast treatments that cover the entire yard or target mound treatments that are applied near specific ant hills.
TruGreen even offers a Mosquito Control and Defense Treatment which includes 6 mosquito spray applications per year starting at $79.95, and the monthly applications are conducted using specialized equipment to target where the biting mosquito is or could be living. The TruGreen Mosquito Defense service is backed by a mosquito-free guarantee, which includes free mosquito treatment should the pest return.
At its center, TruGreen is a lawn care company. Customers looking to improve the health of their lawn can choose from the four of TruGreen's lawn care plans. TruGreen's lawn care services are performed by professionals and expert technicians, backed by TruGreen's healthy lawn guarantee, and are a part of the Premier Green™ Program which guarantees customers a healthy green lawn.
With the TruGreen mobile app, customers will be able to manage their lawn care needs all from their cell phone. Users can:
The climate, season, and region will all determine what kind of lawn care a homeowner needs. TruGreen employs a team of agronomic experts (specializes in soil management and crop production) who can help homeowners identify and treat any lawn care threats. The team also instructs TruGreen's specialist team during their TruGreen TruExpert Certification Program.
Since each lawn has unique needs, TruGreen specialists go through rigorous training that requires annual recertification. The training ensures that each specialist can develop and tailor a lawn care program that will result in a greener lawn.
As a company that specializes in lawn care services, TruGreen only provides pest control for lawn damaging insects, meaning that the company does not cover any interior pest problems of a home or commercial area. It also means that TruGreen only takes care of certain types of pests that reside in the grass, rather than homes. If individuals have pre-existing pest concerns in their home or business, TruGreen can likely not treat for the problem.
TruGreen states that all lawn plans are $29.95 for a first time application. However, in the fine print, that pricing is only available if a customer purchases an annual plan. Customers will also have to sign up for EasyPay or PrePay, and the pricing is only available for lawns up to 5,000 square feet. TruGreen states that the first time application pricing cannot be used with or in conjunction with any other offer or discount, only valid at participating TruGreen locations, availability of services may vary by geography, and consumers are responsible for all sales tax.
TruGreen is undoubtedly an excellent option for customers wanting a healthier lawn and a beautiful landscape. The company's lawn care services are thorough and customers have plenty of plan options to choose from.
As far as pest control services, the company may not be the ideal choice. TruGreen only covers the lawn of a home or business; it does not take care of interior problems. All in all, TruGreen is a great company, but perhaps customers should look elsewhere if they want a pest control company that covers the interior of their home.
