Backed by real customer feedback
I have used For Shore Weed Control for over 10 years. Over that time period, I have never experienced any negative issues. The service technicians have always been respectful of the property, professional and very knowledgeable.
Charles G.
We used to spend hours pulling weeds in our yard, but since using services provided by For-Shore, our yard is weed free with no effort on our part at all. They are very dependable, and their treatments are always effective.
Jack R.
It’s great to not have to worry about weeds in our stones when we return to NJ for the summer. My neighbors labor over their yard and we have more beach time because the weeds are gone.
Barbara F.
I have been using For Shore for 4 years and my lawn has never looked better. They are easy to work with and if something else is needed like an emergency service call or additional services, it's done by them quickly and professionally.
Mike M.
A lifesaver! Saves me hours and hours of weeding all summer. I would highly recommend them to do the same for you. They are professional, meticulous and friendly. Can't say enough nice things about them.
Margaret C.

Our Full Season Weed Control Program can significantly reduce the amount of yardwork you will have to do in a season. If we start your service in the Spring, any weeds that have emerged will dry up and blow away on their own, and we will prevent new weeds from growing so that you do not have to pull weeds all season long.
If you activate later in the season, when weeds have had a chance to take hold, you may find that there is some debris on the property after the weeds have died. Most weeds are about 90% water when they are alive, so even the weediest properties will look a lot less messy once they have dried up.
If you have multiple seasons of growth or are starting late in the season you may need to do a yard cleanup after we have sprayed. We do not offer this service but can recommend landscapers in your area to get your yard back in shape.
During our first application we apply the majority of the material we are going to be spraying for the season. As such, we structure our per application fee 80%/10%/10% between the three scheduled visits. Even with the best materials on the market, we know we are not going to get 100% control of your property for the season with our first application so we strongly discourage our customers from abbreviating the service.
We only apply products that are designed for residential use. Our products require that all people and animals stay off the treated areas until the materials have dried. As long as you follow those rules you can safely enjoy your property all season long.
The weeds will stop growing once the weed control is applied to the actively growing weeds. With most broadleaf weed controls the first sign of the weed dying is the twisting of the weed followed by browning. Other weed controls we use discoloration will be the first sign that the weed control is working. Symptoms of weed death will be noticed 48-72 hours after the application. It may take up to a month for the weed to fully die and decompose. Weed controls are also slower acting in cooler weather and results will take a longer time to achieve.
The Perimeter Tick Control applications will be applied in April, May and October.
The Comprehensive Outdoor Pest is four applications. The first application is applied between May and June (we try to get them done around Memorial Day Weekend), and follow ups are scheduled approximately 4 weeks apart. The final application is applied Aug/Sep. With our standard, full program, you are entitled to unlimited service calls.
We apply an insecticide to the trees and shrubs around your property to kill and repel unwanted insects. These are a class of chemicals called pyrethroids which are derived from pyrethrin, which occurs naturally in chrysanthemum flowers.
We can get excellent control of mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, and no-see-ums. We have not had great results with greenheads/horseflies.
