Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate<br />
a great many pests that die from various causes while in the bag.<br />
When you buy ‘loose’ mulch that is trucked to your home, you<br />
are also buying ants, roaches, termites, etc… Spend a little more<br />
on bagged material and save lots of future pest problems. Keep<br />
your mulch at least 4” - 6” below the top of your homes exposed<br />
foundation edge/side. This will aid in minimizing pests in your<br />
home and allow for quick and accurate termite inspections.<br />
Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants at<br />
least 12” - 18” back from your home. Do your best to create a plant<br />
free zone that is 18” - 24” wide around your home. The exception<br />
is your lawn - it can grow up next to the slab as long as you keep<br />
it 4” - 6” below the top of the slab. The most conducive to termite<br />
infestation are groundcover plantings, growing high against your<br />
homes exterior or (especially) ivy that grows on your walls.<br />
Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray<br />
eliminates overwintering pests and fungi while preparing trees to<br />
resist the pest onslaught of summer with residual pesticides. The<br />
fall spray also kills pests from the summer, prevents most fungi<br />
from occurring over the winter and puts your valuable asset off to a<br />
healthy winter’s dormancy.<br />
Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop<br />
brown patch in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin<br />
and weak in some areas, here are some important fundamentals: a)<br />
lawn aeration b) fertilization c) weed control.<br />
Most important is proper watering:<br />
• Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2” rain or more - then do<br />
not water.)<br />
• Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total lawn coverage.<br />
• In severe drought, water every 5 th day.<br />
• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT.<br />
• A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper,<br />
stronger and more drought resistant roots.<br />
• Less watering also saves you money!!<br />
