Why Summer Lawn Care Requires Special Solutions

Summer presents unique challenges for lawn health that standard fertilizers simply cannot address. High temperatures stress grass while creating ideal conditions for destructive insects to thrive. Traditional fertilizers can burn lawns during hot weather, leaving homeowners frustrated with damaged turf when they need it most for outdoor activities.

Jonathan Green Summer Survival Insect Control with Lawn Fertilizer solves these summer dilemmas with an innovative dual-action approach. This specialized formula provides gentle nutrition that won’t burn grass while simultaneously eliminating the insects that damage lawns during peak summer months.

Dual-Action Summer Protection

Summer Survival combines effective fertilization with comprehensive insect control in one convenient application. The 13-0-3 fertilizer formula features controlled-release nitrogen technology that feeds grass slowly and steadily for two full months without risk of burning, even during the hottest weather.

Simultaneously, the integrated insect control targets over 15 destructive pests that commonly attack lawns during summer heat. This dual approach saves time, reduces applications, and ensures your lawn receives complete protection when it’s most vulnerable.

Complete Insect Elimination

Summer Survival effectively controls the full spectrum of surface-feeding insects that threaten lawn health during warm months. These troublesome pests can quickly destroy grass, create unsightly brown patches, and make outdoor spaces uncomfortable for families.

Target Pests Controlled

  • Chinch Bugs: Prevent yellowing and browning from these heat-loving pests
  • Billbugs: Stop root damage that creates irregular dead patches
  • Ants: Eliminate unsightly hills and reduce indoor invasion
  • Ticks: Protect family and pets from these disease-carrying parasites
  • Fleas: Create pest-free zones for outdoor activities
  • Armyworms: Prevent overnight lawn devastation
  • Sod Webworms: Stop brown spot formation in high-traffic areas
  • Centipedes: Reduce creepy crawlers around outdoor living spaces

Smart Fertilizer Technology

The controlled-release nitrogen in Summer Survival represents advanced fertilizer technology designed specifically for challenging summer conditions. Unlike quick-release fertilizers that can cause burning in hot weather, this formula releases nutrients gradually as grass needs them.

This slow-release approach maintains consistent green color throughout summer while building stronger root systems that better withstand heat stress. The result is healthier grass that stays attractive during the most demanding growing season.

Perimeter Protection Bonus

Summer Survival provides an additional benefit beyond lawn care by creating a protective barrier around your home. When applied within a 6-10 foot radius of structures, it significantly reduces insect entry into houses and businesses.

This perimeter protection means fewer ants in kitchens, reduced tick encounters on patios, and overall pest reduction in outdoor living areas. One application protects both your lawn and your family’s comfort zones.

Application Made Simple

Applying Summer Survival requires no special equipment or complicated timing. Simply use any standard broadcast, drop, or handheld spreader when insects first appear or as a preventive measure in early summer. The granular formulation spreads evenly and activates with normal watering or rainfall.

For best results, apply to dry grass one to two days after mowing. The product works immediately on contact while the fertilizer component begins feeding grass within days of application.
