Mosquito Season - Plants Mosquitoes Don't Like!

Put any of these plants in your garden or on your patio this season.

Mosquitoes absolutely hate them!  

The good news is a lot of these plants you may use in your kitchen cooking.

With all the rain the Charlotte area has received recently, the mosquitoes have a lot of places to breed.  Remember to empty out any areas around the exterior of your home that has rain water sitting in it.  Any place water can collect and sit becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes.  Empty any buckets, trash cans and other things that collect rain water this will help.

SecureTurf offers mosquito suppression for you lawn to help keep those nasty mosquitoes away.

SecureTurf - URGENT NOTICE REGARDING INDIAN HAWTHORNS

SecureTurf - Charlotte Landscaping Experts, wants you to know.

URGENT NOTICE REGARDING INDIAN HAWTHORNS

The long, cold winter and freezing winds have been devastating to many shrubs and plants in the Charlotte metro region, especially Indian Hawthorns. If your Indian Hawthorn is damaged by winter cold, it is possible that the plant may recover. To determine if a branch is dead, scratch away a bit of bark with your fingernail or a pruning knife. If the layer below the bark is green or a moist-looking white, it's likely the branch can recover; if it's brown and brittle, that area is dead.

 Pruning the dead areas of your plant may help it regrow slowly with time. Keeping your plant well-watered when it begins growing in spring can also help it recover from winter injury. We recommend our Ornamental Tree and Shrub Program to keep your valuable landscape plantings free from insect and disease damage this summer. Our dormant oil spray in the late fall will assist your plants in withstanding the cold next winter.

If the idea of looking at a predominantly bare sticks in your landscape does not appeal to you, we recommend replacing these with a heartier species. Please visit our Charlotte Plantings Ideas webpage or contact our experienced landscaping experts for a free estimate to replace your dead or struggling plants.
