We recently engaged this team for our pest control needs. Adam provided an extensive overview of his services and quoted a vastly more competitive rate. After two service calls we're not only impressed by Adam's expertise but the level of service is absolutely astonishing (we're from New York and that's not easily done). They deserve 10 stars and should be everyone's choice for pest care.

Weed Control Built Around SWFL’s Worst Offenders
Searching for weed control near me in Southwest Florida, FL? Our nearby lawn weed control service eliminates crabgrass, broadleaf weeds, sedge, and other invasives with targeted pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments. Local Southwest Florida service for a clean, weed-free lawn without killing your grass. The summer fertilizer blackout creates a perfect storm for weeds: thin spots can’t be filled in with nitrogen for four months, so anything opportunistic — crabgrass, dollarweed, sedge, oxalis, spurge — colonizes overnight. Add seasonal heavy rain and warm soil, and weeds outpace turf growth by August.
Waves Lawn Care runs a two-part program: pre-emergent applications timed to SWFL soil temperatures (roughly late winter and again in fall) to stop seeds before they germinate, plus selective post-emergent products that kill broadleaf and sedge weeds without damaging the desirable grass. The trick on St. Augustine is selectivity — most national-brand “weed and feed” products will thin or kill St. Augustine outright. Our applicators use products specifically labeled safe for the grass type on your lawn.
What’s Included
- Pre-emergent applications at the right soil temperature window for SWFL (typically late January–February and again in September)
- Post-emergent spot-treatment for active broadleaf weeds (dollarweed, oxalis, spurge, clover, henbit)
- Sedge-specific treatments — sedges (kyllinga, nutsedge, globe sedge) need their own herbicide class; standard broadleaf products don’t touch them
- St. Augustine-safe selectivity — every product is checked against the grass on your lawn before application
- Stand-alone or bundled — works as a single service or paired with fertilization for thicker turf that out-competes weeds naturally
What Doesn’t Work
Bagged “weed and feed” from big-box stores is the #1 reason SWFL homeowners thin out their own St. Augustine. The herbicide-fertilizer combo has wrong selectivity for the grass type and the wrong timing for the climate. Same with vinegar/salt home remedies — they kill everything they touch, weeds included, but also the turf you want to keep.
Pair weed control with fertilization, lawn pest, or full pest control to drop cost via WaveGuard: Silver (10%), Gold (15%), Platinum (20%).
