Fall is a beautiful time of year for your landscape, but it can also bring one of the most frustrating turf pests: fall armyworms.

These small caterpillars can seemingly appear overnight and cause significant damage to lawns, athletic fields, and other turf areas. In fact, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension notes that fall armyworms can consume large areas of turf in just a few days when populations are high.

When it comes to commercial properties, a healthy landscape doesn't happen by chance. Even the most well-designed properties can become vulnerable to insects and other pests that damage trees, shrubs, turfgrass, and ornamental plants. The warm temperatures and high humidity found throughout the Southeast create ideal conditions for many landscape pests to thrive year-round.

Healthy trees are one of the most valuable assets on any commercial property. They provide shade, improve air quality, enhance curb appeal, and contribute to a welcoming environment for employees, customers, tenants, and visitors. However, trees are susceptible to a variety of diseases that can compromise their health, create safety hazards, and lead to costly removals if left untreated.
