🍂🎃 FALL HAS OFFICIALLY ARRIVED IN FLORIDA! 🎃🍂

You know what that means…

☕ Pumpkin spice is everywhere
🎃 Pumpkins are on the porch
🍂 Fall wreaths are up
👢 Boots and sweaters are ready to go…

Just kidding. 😂

It’s still 97°, the AC is running, the palm trees are still palm tree-ing, the mosquitoes didn’t get the memo and your lawn is growing like absolutely nothing has changed.

The Florida Fall Forecast:

Monday: Summer
Tuesday: Summer
Wednesday: Summer with a pumpkin on the porch
Thursday: Slightly less summer
Friday: FALSE FALL 👀
Saturday: SUMMER IS BACK ☀️

Up north, fall means cooler weather and fewer bugs, here we just decorate around them. 😂🌴

So grab your pumpkin spice, put on your flip-flops, check the hurricane tracker, and enjoy those three glorious minutes of cool air when you open the front door in the morning.

And don’t worry about the bugs… Green Island Lawn & Pest works year-round, because apparently, so do they. 🦟🐜

Happy Florida Fall! 🍁🎃🌴

🌱 Let's Talk About Torpedo Grass 🌱

If you've noticed a fast-spreading, coarse grass taking over your lawn, you may be dealing with torpedo grass—one of the most invasive w**ds we see.

Here's why it's so difficult to control:

• It spreads through aggressive underground rhizomes, not just seeds.
• Even small pieces left in the soil can grow into new plants.
• It thrives in wet areas and lawns that are watered too frequently.
• It can quickly outcompete your St. Augustine or other desirable turf.

The bad news, there isn't a selective herbicide that will eliminate torpedo grass without damaging your St. Augustine lawn. Control often requires multiple treatments with glyphosates (a nonselective herbicide ie: RoundUp, RangerPro, etc.) and, in many cases, replacing the affected turf.

If you're seeing patches of grass that seem to be taking over your lawn, don't ignore them. Catching torpedo grass early can save you time, money, and a much bigger headache down the road.

Not sure if it's torpedo grass? Post a photo in the comments or send us a message—we're happy to help identify it!
