Lawn Weed Control Services
The warm, humid climate in Florida offers favorable conditions for weeds to grow and flourish, including everyone’s favorites, crabgrass, goosegrass, as well as other common lawn weeds. These can quickly turn a healthy lawn into something much harder to manage. Under these prevailing circumstances, preventative lawn measures are the key to keeping weeds under control and protecting your vegetation.
At Florida Pest Control, we know how hard you work to maintain a pristine lawn, and we’re here to help you push back against weeds and reclaim your yard. We are a trusted weed control company, providing granular and liquid treatments tailored to Florida’s seasonality and local needs. Our programs focus on long-term prevention and reliable results, so you can be confident your lawn is in good hands.
Common Weeds in Florida
Homeowners in Florida are accustomed to dealing with a range of weeds that compete with turfgrass for nutrients and space. Local weed control experts can diagnose the problem and identify the weed type for accurate, targeted treatment. Some of the common lawn weeds we treat by region include:
North Florida
Chickweed – Favors cool-season lawns and shows up in shaded, moist areas during fall and winter.
Bull Thistle – Grows in open, disturbed ground and pastures; most active in spring and early summer.
Burnweed – Often pops up after summer storms in thin turf or bare patches.
Central Florida
Crabgrass – Common in sunny, well-watered lawns from late spring through early fall.
Spurge – Spreads low to the ground in dry, compacted areas like driveways and lawn edges.
Broadleaf Plantain – Found in compacted soil, especially in lawns with poor drainage or heavy foot traffic.
South Florida
Dollarweed – Thrives in wet, poorly drained lawns and stays active nearly year-round, often spreading quickly across thin or stressed turf.
Yellow Woodsorrel – Grows quickly in both sun and shade, with frequent growth during warm, humid months and a tendency to reappear even after mowing.
Whichever weed is growing in your yard, our team has the expertise to eliminate the invading species and revive your yard.

Weed Control Challenges
Local experts, like Florida Pest Control, understand how regional conditions affect treatment timing, product selection, and prevention strategies, and can tailor their approach to your specific area. The benefits of choosing local include:
Weeds Spread Quickly
In Florida’s warm, humid climate, some weeds grow year-round. Fast-spreading types like crabgrass and dollarweed can quickly take over lawns without early identification.
Regional Conditions Matter
Soil type, rainfall, and temperature vary across the state. These differences affect which weeds appear and when, making region-specific treatment and timing essential for control.
Seasons Drive Growth Cycles
Florida’s growing season doesn’t pause. Seasonal weeds like chickweed and henbit emerge in cooler months, while others thrive year-round and require ongoing, adaptive weed management.
When it comes to protecting your lawn, local expertise can make all the difference. Partnering with lawn care specialists ensures you receive tailored solutions that address the unique challenges of your specific area.

What Are The Most Common Weeds That Grow in Florida Lawns?
Some of the most widespread weeds in Florida include crabgrass, dollarweed, spurge, bull thistle, and chickweed. These weeds thrive in Florida’s climate and can quickly spread without treatment. Our technicians are trained to identify and target these specific weeds for the best results.
Is Professional Lawn Weed Control Suitable With Kids and Pets Around?
When applied correctly by a professional weed control company, lawn treatments are designed to minimize risk.
