October is here, which means crisp evenings, pumpkin-spiced everything, and spooky Halloween décor popping up around Larchmont. But while ghosts and goblins are welcome this time of year, there’s one thing you don’t want haunting your home – mosquitoes. These pests don’t vanish just because summer is over, and they can quickly turn an outdoor gathering into a nightmare.
At Andora Lawn Care, we believe that fall should be about enjoying your yard, not swatting at bugs or worrying about a tired lawn. That’s why we recommend a combination of organic mosquito control, lawn aeration, and seed renovation to keep your property safe, strong, and beautiful – even as the seasons change.
Even though temperatures start to drop in October, mosquitoes can remain active until the first hard frost. That means your Halloween plans – from handing out candy to hosting a backyard bonfire – can still be interrupted by itchy bites.
Our Organic Mosquito Application is a safe and effective way to dramatically reduce mosquito activity without using harsh chemicals. The formula is family- and pet-friendly, so you don’t have to worry about exposing children, pets, or pollinators to harmful residues. With one last application this fall, you can enjoy trick-or-treating, yard parties, and cozy evenings without the constant buzzing.
After a summer of heat, foot traffic, and heavy rain, your soil may be compacted, which makes it hard for grass roots to get the water, air, and nutrients they need. Compacted soil can lead to thin, patchy turf, which is not the look you want heading into winter.
That’s where lawn aeration comes in. Aeration uses specialized equipment to create small holes throughout your lawn, allowing the soil to “breathe.” This process:
Think of aeration as hitting the reset button for your lawn. It relieves summer stress and sets up your grass for stronger growth when spring rolls around.
Aeration alone works wonders, but pairing it with seed renovation takes your lawn to the next level. Overseeding after aeration allows new grass seed to make direct contact with loosened soil, which dramatically improves germination rates.
Fall is an ideal time for seeding because the soil is still warm enough to encourage sprouting, but the cooler air temperatures protect seedlings from extreme heat stress. Seed renovation can:
If you’ve been noticing thinning grass or stubborn patches that just won’t grow, overseeding in October is your chance to refresh your lawn and make it stronger for next year.
Here’s a bonus benefit: a thicker, healthier lawn means fewer weeds in the spring. When your grass is dense and strong, it naturally shades the soil and outcompetes weeds, reducing the need for chemical controls later. By aerating and seeding now, you’re giving yourself a head start on a greener, lower-maintenance lawn next season.
Just like you’d winterize your home, your lawn needs a little prep before the cold sets in. Aeration and seeding in October help your grass establish deep roots, so it can better withstand winter dormancy. By next spring, you’ll see greener, thicker growth and fewer signs of damage.
Think of it as giving your lawn the fall “tune-up” it needs – and your reward will be a healthy, thriving yard once the warm weather returns.
