Campbell Vaughn  |  Columnist I don't think anyone needs to be running their irrigation system this week. Tuesday night alone I had 2.75 inches of rain in my gauge. It was like a monsoon. We are pushing July and still haven't had much real heat at all and the ground moisture levels are high. Cooler nights and lots of moisture is going to lead to more than usual fungal issues. I mentioned powdery mildew a couple of weeks ago in my column and I am seeing it all over town in mostly crape myrtles. Leaf spot fungus is appearing on a wide variety of plants like roses and photinia as well. When conditions are right (like right now), the fungi love to show up. Not much we can really do to prevent the fungus with the weather conditions the way they are except keep an eye on plants and jump into action when it happens. Immunox and Daconil can be your friend.   My least favorite warm season weed is starting to jump. Chamberbitter ( Phyllanthus urinari...

CLEVELAND – For many years tick control was a niche service in the pest control industry, performed mostly by companies that also offered exterior services (e.g., mosquito control).  Times have changed and now tick control is offered by most pest control companies. In fact, the vast majority (85 percent) of those who responded to PCT's recent reader poll indicated they offered tick control services. Mark Constantino, owner of Arkadia Pest Control, Randolph, N.J., said tick control is a growing segment for his business and that revenue generated from tick control is "hovering around 7 percent."  Constantino said he has found success advertising tick control services on his company's website, www.arkadiapest.com, as well as on Google and Facebook. Although, a large majority of PCOs said the do offer tick control, that doesn't necessarily mean their phones are ringing off the hook with service requests. Ticks are largely a regional pest, most probl...

By Bonnie Kim Donahue  Much of landscape maintenance in summer is devoted to mowing lawns.  Traditional lawns in the Northeast are typically made up of a mix of turfgrasses such as Kentucky bluegrass, perennial rye and fine fescues. Seed mixes often include a mix of species to provide full lawn cover in spite of changing conditions like heat and moisture.  Turfgrass lawns provide many environmental benefits such as erosion control, as well as caching and filtering water. They also have an appealing, carpet-like appearance that many of us in the Northeast have grown accustomed to seeing in the summer.  What these grasses do not provide is food for pollinators. Flowering plants produce nectar and pollen, which are food for pollinators including bees, butterflies, flies and beetles.  Pollinators are a critical part of earth's ecological systems. They pollinate fruit, vegetable and nut crops so that we can have food to eat. They al...
