I have installed a new lawn and am concerned about the “bad bugs” and unwanted weeds that were left from the old yard. When can I treat the new lawn for these pests?
Adding a lawn normally disrupts the pests to the point where they are below damaging levels and the beneficial insects can maintain control. Hopefully, you controlled the problem weeds before the area was prepared for sodding. Normally, pests and weeds won’t be a problem for at least several months, if at all this year. Stay alert for declining areas in the lawn and treat when insects or diseases are diagnosed. These problems can be treated as needed as soon as the sod has been installed. Selective weed control products including seed germination inhibitors, knowri as pre-emergence herbicides, should not be applied until the new grass has become rooted into the ground.
