Fungus Control

You’ve put so much time, effort, and love into maintaining your lawn, so why are there brown or discolored patches all over it? If your lawn is patchy, discolored, or otherwise not lush and green and healthy, you could be a victim of lawn fungus. Fungus control is one of the most under-used lawn treatments, but it goes above and beyond to keep your lawn immaculate. Lawn diseases can be controlled by the fungus control treatment programs Onyx Lawn & Pest Control offers. 

Our experts will not only identify and treat your lawn fungus but also help you understand how to stave off future fungus issues and how you can tell whether or not your lawn has fungus. A fungus-infested lawn can make even the most beautiful home or business look unkempt and uncared for. Not all lawn fungi are treated the same way. These diseases are hard to predict and can spiral out of control very easily. Proper identification and treatment are essential to prevent the problem from worsening. Our lawn care professionals understand exactly how to get lawn fungus under control and restore your lawn to its former greatness.

Common Types Of Lawn Fungus

Many fungi are healthy for your lawn, as they can supply nutrients by decomposing organic matter. However, harmful and disease-causing fungi are nearly always dormant in your soil, just biding their time for the right conditions to be active so that they can strike. Lawn fungus requires three things to attack: 1) a susceptible grass type, 2) a fungal disease, and 3) the right environmental conditions. 

Here in Northern Utah, some common types of lawn fungus that the experts at Onyx Lawn & Pest Control provide treatments and fungus control for include:

• Brown spots
• Rust and red thread
• Dollar and copper spot
• Mildew and slimy grass
• Striped smut
• Fairy rings
• Necrotic ring spot
• Snow mold

What Causes Lawn Fungus?

Are those spots on your lawn because of fungus or because you’re overdue for aeration? Or does your lawn just not have enough fertilizer? Could it be because of a pest? The best way to know how to identify, stop, and control lawn fungus is to understand the conditions that cause it in the first place. 

Common causes of lawn fungus include:

• Drought
• Too much fertilizer
• Using the wrong fertilizer
• Soil compaction
• Overwatering
• High humidity
• Mowing grass too low

Lawn fungus can be spread by grass clippings, rain, wind, and lawnmowers. This is why the lawn care experts at Onyx Lawn & Pest Control always treat an infected lawn with our fungus control program before mowing it so that we do not spread the fungus to other clients’ lawns.
