Tips for your yard...

Lawn Care Tips:
  • Fertilize your grass.  Healthy grass requires less water.
  • Raise your mower one notch.  The taller foliage will help provide more shade for the roots and soil around the grass plant.
  • Some people bag all their grass clippings.  One idea is to not bag the clippings a couple of times during a mowing season.
  • Check your sprinklers regularly.  
  • Lastly, water your grass at the correct time of the day and the proper amount.  Experts recommend early in the morning, just before sunrise.  

Rodents?!

Things that you can do to reduce rodent activity around your neck of the woods:
  • Keep all vegetarian cut down and reasonably controlled.  Remove pine straw and leaves.
  • Any wood kept in a yard must be neatly cut and stacked off the ground.
  • Do not allow pet food to sit out for over 30 minutes at a time when you are feed pets.  Keep any bulk pet food in a garbage can with a tight fitting lid.
  • Keep animal feces cleaned up out of the yard.
  • Encourage your neighbors to take an active part in eliminating rodent activity.
If further information is needed, contact the City of Longview Environmental Health Division at 903.237.1285.
