There is seldom only one mouse at any given time so it's easy to underestimate the total numbers involved. Double Strength Ratsak is a multiple-feed rodenticide. Each rodent needs to feed for between 7-14 days on Double Strength Ratsak in order to ingest enough to be killed. While this slows down the result, it is an added safety factor and reduces the risk of secondary poisonings.

Why not? Remember, just before a snow, top dress with a light sprinkle of soil so the birds don’t think you’re a horticultural philanthropist.

Grass seed can be planted in spring, around Labor Day in the fall (before September 15) or just before winter sets in. The seed needs to be worked into the soil just slightly with a garden rake.

Yes, however, in locations with harsh winter weather, motorhomes are "winterized" from approximately November to March. This means we have drained the water and holding tanks, and filled them with anti-freeze. This will prevent the tanks and pipes from freezing and bursting. If you chose to have your rental motorhome "de-winterized" (so that you can use your sink, shower, and toilet) and a cost of approximately USD$70 may be involved. This varies between companies.

Fall is the best time to sow because there is a more developed root system by the time summer drought stress occurs. Spring is the second best time because the temperature and moisture is good for germination.

It all depends on which product is used. For products that contain a selective weedkiller such as EverGreen “I Want Complete Lawn Care” it will be 6 weeks. For other products please consult the label or a Consumer Services Adviser.

Fall. The temperatures are becoming cooler, rain is usually more frequent and the period before the next hot-dry summer is at its longest.

Yes. Seed may be kept for the producer to sow on their farm for their own usage. Subsequent seed (ie 2nd or later generations) or product from the later generations may not be sold/traded/bartered etc as propagating material without the grantees authorisation.

No, you must either kill weeds first and then wait 3-4 weeks to seed, or seed first and then wait until the new seed has germinated and been mowed at least twice (about six weeks) before applying a broadleaf weed killer.

Fall aeration is commonly done in other parts of the country. Aerating in the fall or spring would be fine, but we need about six weeks of good growing conditions after aeration.

In St. Louis, we are in the transition zone between ideals for northern and southern grasses. Tall Fescues are best adapted for our area where there are extremes of cold winters and hot summers.

You can use our environment guide, or contact us directly and we can help you determine the right amount of seed for all of your needs.

In this case, it is essential to check information on the bag. Because weed killers vary in their ability to linger and prevent seed from coming up, the answer will depend on the product. Always follow the label directions. Crabgrass Preventer: Do not sow seed within 4 months of applying crabgrass preventer. By fall, which is the best time to sow seed of cool-season grasses anyway, you should get good results from seeding.

Shark Valley, the Anhinga Trail (at Royal Palm), and Eco Pond (one mile past the Flamingo Visitor Center) are good for viewing alligators, wading birds, and other freshwater wildlife. Canoeists can paddle into Snake Bight (near Flamingo) and Chokoloskee Bay (Gulf Coast) before low tide to witness large numbers of water birds feeding in the shallows and on mud flats. A productive freshwater canoeing area is Nine Mile Pond and adjacent borrow pits (11 miles, or 18 km, up the road from Flamingo).

Yes, each dealership provides different products that pertain to the maintenance of your home and business lawns. You should be able to purchase lawn fertilizers, chemicals, erosion control blankets, weed barriers and many more lawn products. For the garden enthusiast, many of your locations sell garden seeds. In the winter months, you can purchase ice melt for your sidewalks and parking lots.

Ensure your grass is cut short enough (but not scalped) to prevent it from "laying over" under deep snow cover. A 2 to 2-1/2 inch cutting height should be sufficient. It's actually best to gradually lower your cutting height over the final three cuts of the year, instead of trying to do it all in one final cut. Shorter grass is less likely to suffer from snow mold disease.

In the fall it is a good time to put down a fall fertilizer that has a high middle (phosphorus) number. This helps to may the roots stronger for the winter. It is also a good time to put down some lime

Generally we are able to rectify this problem if the cause can be identified; as with drainage, it can stem from a variety of conditions.

In this situation the crops that can be re-sown in the spring, as long as 10 weeks have elapsed between application of Kerb and sowing of the subsequent crop, include field beans, broad beans, peas, chicory, radish, clover and lucerne. The most popular choice is normally to sow spring oilseed rape.

The best time of the year to sow and establish grass is in the early autumn (August/September) when soil temperatures are high and the soil is usually dry enough to be cultivated while retaining sufficient moisture for germination. The parks Department carries out new development work including sowing of grass from April/May through to October and sometimes outside these months, where weather conditions permit

Summer time is not a good time to spray your plants and lawns with chemicals. Due to the warm temperature, it is easy to burn them. If you have to spray your plants with either insecticides or fungicides spray them on a cool summer night.

Normally this isn't a good time but if we've had good rainfall and the weeds are actively growing, they may respond well to weed killers.

Simply put, heat will rise in the summer which makes your upstairs hotter. If your current system has been sized and installed properly a "Comfort System" zone control would be a great solution! This system allows you to control the 6 to 8 degree variance between the upstairs and downstairs with two separate thermostats. Call us for more information!

September is the best month for fall seeding (fescue and bluegrass). For new lawns apply about 5-6 lb. per 1000 sq.ft. For over seeding use about 3 pounds.
