Proteins and nutrients from blood are reserved for egg production and so it is consumed only by females. Both sexes instead rely on sugar as their main source of energy. They feed on plant nectar, fruit juices and other plant liquids containing sugar. The sugar is burned as fuel and is replenished on a regular basis.

Over time with regular control treatments and maintaining a thicker, healthier lawn mowed at the proper height (Not too short), these weeds can be kept to a minimum.

The problem with dandelions is there is no material that will “prevent” them and other broadleaf weed seeds from germinating in a lawn if they are present. Understanding this and treating them with the right timing will help your lawn grow thicker and naturally prevent these weeds in the future.
