SHOO, Pests! Fire
Ant Remedy?
To get rid of fire ants, a reader of Backyard
Living suggests filling a foil pie plate with water and sprinkling
the ground around it with cornmeal. Fire ants love cornmeal, but it
makes them thirsty. The water makes the cornmeal expand in their
abdomens, killing them.

Wise
Watering Tips from
the City of Round Rock:
Cut grass to no less
than 3 inches high.
Don't fertilize during summer.
Aerate soil at least every two years.
Check underground irrigation systems weekly.
Don't try to keep grass dark green in summer.
Watering deeply once every five days is good for your lawn, good for your
pocketbook, and helps preserve a precious resource.
