You’re thriving this summer—your lawn should too.
So, you fed your lawn this spring—check! However, the feedings don't stop there. It is incredibly important to care for your lawn consistently throughout the year, especially in the summertime. Harsh summer elements such as heat and drought can make your lawn thin, brown, and weak, leaving it vulnerable to insect attacks. When you fertilize in the summer, you help your lawn stay thick and green and also strengthen it to combat summer stressors like heat and drought.
When used with a regular watering program, Scotts® Turf Builder® SummerGuard® Lawn Food with Insect Control strengthens and protects your lawn against warm weather problems. The dual-action summer formula deep feeds your turf so it can grow thicker and greener in hot weather. In addition, it kills and protects against listed bugs including ants, armyworms, chinch bugs, crickets, fleas, grasshoppers, spiders, and ticks. SummerGuard® can be used on any grass type without the risk of burning (when used as directed). Simply apply the product to a dry lawn in the summertime when insect activity or damage is first observed. Then, watch your grass become stronger over time!
