Pest Control-Drought Stress

Please remember this time of year we are in the middle of a drought situation, meaning there has not been any rainfall for a while and not much will probably come until June. At this time the prudent thing to do is to make sure your sprinklers are operating at there peek performance and that your lawn is protected against Chinch Bugs which are very prevalent at this time of year. If you are seeing dry spots in all areas of your lawn than adjust the time on your irrigation clock for longer watering times. If this does not work than may we sugest using Hydretain a product which will help aid in water retention at the root zone of your lawn. If there are just a few dry spots in your lawn than check the sprinkler heads to make sure they are operating properly. Until rain comes keep a close eye on your irrigation or you may have dead areas in your lawn.
