• Our grass cutting services team often comes
  across vicious weeds in yards during our regular
  maintenance.  Our clients too sometimes have the
  misfortune of discovering vengeful flora and
  hastily contact our lawn maintenance services
  team for the guidance and assistance.  What could
  possibly be the cause of such fear and loathing?
   Stinging plants and grass could incite a rash of
  fear amongst the calmest of people.

• Our grass cutting services team helps you
  recognize stingers
• Our grass cutting services team can easily
  identify rogue plants that can be considered
  harmful to humans and pets.  There are may such
  plants and grasses to watch out for.
• Among these are the burning nettles and stinging
  nettles which generally affect fence rows, ditch
  banks, and roadsides.  The bulb of these plants
  encloses a needle-like point which penetrates the
  skin on contact.  This results in reddish
  rash-type patches on the affected area and
  itching and burning as well.
• Certain weeds can also be the source of much
  grief such as Lawn Bur Weed or stinging grass
  and Sawgrass.  Lawn Bur Weed or spurweed thrives
  during the fall months and goes through a rapid
  growth period in early spring.  The burs stick
  and prick.  Sawgrass (which is not really a
  grass), has sharp teeth like points along its
  leaves which can be quite painful.

• Our lawn maintenance services team advises on
  dealing with the weed
• The first step when encountering such a pest is
  proper diagnosis.  The best way to approach
  things is cautiously.  If youve already been
  stung, take care of the affected area.  Then,
  amply armed, re-approach the problem spot and
  identify if its an insect-based infestation or a
  plant-based infestation that youre dealing with.
   If it is in fact plant-based, contact your
  landscape maintenance services team and have them
  eliminate the infestation.  They should also
  inspect other parts of your yard to ensure that
  the infestation hasnt spread already and treat
  the lawn to avoid any nasty surprises in the
  future.  Another option is to take a sample of
  the suspect to your local home and garden store
  and ask for advice on what the proper elimination
  method is.  Either way, be sure to handle the
  plant carefully to avoid direct contact and also
  mark the spot to ensure family members and pets
  stay well away till the infestation has been
  handled.

• Our landscape maintenance services team shares
  tips on how to deal with the rash
• When dealing with a sting or a burn, its natural
  to want to touch the area and investigate it.
   Unfortunately that spreads the poison/acid
  injected by the plant.  Rinse the area with cold
  water.  Certain soaps can aggravate the problem.
   Some natural remedies you can use are
• 1.Baking soda and cold water  combine the two
  and make a paste, then apply it to the affected
  area.  Use a dabbing  motion rather than
  spreading the paste.  This will help to relieve
  some of the symptoms.
• 2.Aloe vera juice  this versatile and medicinal
  plant is used for many ailments and aloe vera
  juice can also be used to reduce the burning and
  treat the inflamed area.
• 3.Dockweed and jewelweed  these little heroes
  generally grow in the vicinity of nettles.  Crush
  the leaves and apply to the affected area.

• In case of severe cases, contact a medical
  professional for advice and assistance.
• Any lawn maintenance services expert will tell
  you that prevention is certainly better than
  cure.  If youre afflicted by these or other
  weeds, talk to our grass cutting services team
  about the health of your lawn and the best way to
  ensure that these weeds dont infest your garden.
