Greetings!

In Florida flea and tick season is year round, but when the weather is this hot, populations explode. Even animals on flea and tick medication can transport these insects into your home. Thoroughly check your animals when they come in from outdoors.If you suspect the presence of  fleas  and/or  ticks,we recommend you call us.We can take the necessary steps to rid your home and lawn of these insects.

The rainy season that normally begins by June has not yet arrived.  I write these newsletters each month and by the middle of July we could have begun the rainy season.

A common misconception is that our sprinkler systems, which worked fine previously, cannot possibly be the cause of brown spots in the lawn.  On the contrary, sprinkler systems need to be carefully checked regularly for both coverage of turf and amount of water disbursed.  Although an irrigation system will never duplicate the coverage of natural rainfall, checking your system will reduce the occurrence of dry spots in your lawn.

Furthermore, with permanent water restrictions, it is important that you water on the correct day.  Two times per week is sufficient.  Generally, half-hour per zone will supply good coverage and keep your lawn healthy.

Unfortunately no two soil conditions are the same.  Occasionally, we find a lawn that requires very little water, whereas some lawns will need to be watered longer per zone.
