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