Weed Control
Best Weed Control Services in Phoenix, Arizona
A Weed is any plant that grows where it isn’t wanted, or is unwanted because of certain undesirable characteristics. Wild roses growing in a pasture are Weeds. Bermuda grass is excellent as a summer lawn, but a pernicious weed in flowerbeds, croplands, or ditch banks. Even in lawns, Bermuda grass may be undesirable and thus a Weed to people afflicted with hay fever.
A Weed may be almost a personal matter. Plants that come into crops, irrigated lands, lawns, and gardens; that become established on disturbed soil along roadsides, ditch banks, neglected fields, and waste places; that invade and increase on rangelands, replacing the cover of perennial grasses or sometimes causing livestock poisoning, are Weeds. Such plants include fungi, ferns, grasses, broadleaved herbs, shrubs, and even trees.
Weeds in the yard dampen the property owner’s interest in improving and maintaining gardens that beautify the property, and make the community attractive and livable. Weeds also raise the property owner’s costs for water and fertilizer.
The most effective, economical, and ecologically sound approach to managing invasive plants is to prevent them from invading. Land managers often concentrate on fighting well-established infestations, at which point management is expensive and eradication is unlikely. Infestations must be managed to limit the spread of invasive plants, but Weed management that controls existing infestations while focusing on prevention and early detection of new invasions can be far more cost-effective.
Weed prevention depends on:
- Limiting the introduction of Weed seeds
- Early detection and eradication of small patches of Weeds
- Minimizing the disturbance of desirable plants along trails, roads, and waterways
- Maintaining desired plant communities through good management
- Monitoring high-risk areas such as transportation corridors and bare ground
- Re-vegetating disturbed sites with desired plants
- Evaluating the effectiveness of prevention efforts and adapting plans for the following year

PRODUCT SAFETY
We utilize an Integrated Pest Management (I.P.M.) approach for Arizona Pest Control. This comprehensive approach includes:
- Inspection - Service specialists conduct a thorough inspection of the property.
- Identification - Pests are identified for appropriate control measures.
- Environmental Modification - All possible environmental modification solutions are considered prior to any material application.
- Material Application - When a thorough inspection has been performed, a proper identification has been assessed, and all environmental modification options have been made (if applicable), a material application will be performed in a judicious, environmentally responsible manner.
OUR PROCESS
Because of the awesome weather we enjoy, Weed Control Phoenix is something our technicians are accustomed to handling during two key growing seasons. Weed Control Phoenix AZ allows us to help keep your yard beautiful year-round!
The following Weed Control Phoenix tips / suggestions are for your general information. Complete them all or “mix and match” specific items to best suit your particular needs.
Apply organic mulch 3-4 inches deep (and no more than 5-6 inches around shallow-root plants) – leaving a clear area at the plant base so there’s no rot. Use landscape fabric (choose type allowing water / air to pass through – AVOID using black plastic!) only under stones and gravel – NOT under organic mulch. Do NOT cut grass too short. Longer grass is stronger and thicker – crowding out weeds. Properly fertilize – a healthy lawn is the best Weed Control defense.
