August in Sheboygan County brings warm days and cooler nights — perfect for late summer flowers and vegetables, but also ideal conditions for weeds and pests to thrive. Without proper care, these invaders can quickly undo months of landscaping work.

1. Common Late-Summer Pests in Sheboygan County
Japanese Beetles
These metallic green beetles feed on leaves, flowers, and fruit, leaving plants skeletonized. Hand-picking and targeted treatments can help keep populations in check.
Lawn Grubs
Grubs feed on grass roots, causing brown patches and weak turf. Late summer is the perfect time for preventative grub control.
Spider Mites
Hot, dry weather creates ideal conditions for these sap-sucking pests. They can damage flowers, shrubs, and vegetable plants.
Our pest control services offer eco-friendly and effective solutions for all of these late-summer nuisances.
2. Weeds That Thrive in Late Sum
- Crabgrass: A warm-season annual weed that spreads quickly in August.
- Dandelions: Can re-seed before fall if not removed promptly.
- Thistle: Aggressive and difficult to eradicate once established.
With our seasonal weed control programs, we target weeds before they seed, keeping your lawn and beds tidy.
3. Prevention Strategies
Mulching
A 2–3 inch layer of mulch in flower beds and around shrubs suppresses weeds and conserves soil moisture.
Healthy Lawn Practices
A thick, healthy lawn naturally crowds out weeds and makes it harder for pests to take hold.
Regular Monitoring
Catching problems early means less invasive treatments later. Our garden maintenance services include regular inspections and timely interventions.
