• Background music creates a relaxing atmosphere - pick middle
of the road, easy listening.
• If it is hot, have the kids sell cold soft drinks or have a water jug and paper
cups handy. The longer you can keep customers, the more they will buy.
• Have some “guy things” out front: an old lawn mower, some tools; set up
a guy table with jars of screws and nails, electronic parts, fishing stuff,
camping stuff, etc.
• Your sale will be more successful if you take the time and make sure everything
is clean and displayed well. During the sale, keep busy by filling in the empty
spots on your tables by rearranging your stuff.
• Have plastic grocery bags available to put sold items in; also, it’s a good idea
to have newspaper handy to wrap breakable items.
GOOD LUCK!

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