Roof Rats

They are in our neighborhood and can spread disease and damage property.  They love to eat citrus and also have a taste for electrical wiring insulation.   The best prevention is to remove their food source.

Pick up any citrus on the ground

Don’t leave uneaten pet food outdoors

Seal your house to prevent entry:  Vent lines on roof, cracks in eaves, small holes that lead to your attic, etc.

Lawn Mites

Unsightly brown dead spots in your lawn that don’t go away no matter how much you water or fertilize?  Could be lawn mites…. Now is a good time to protect your lawn by contacting a local nursery for advice. An application now of a good insecticide can get your lawn off to a good start, reduce water and fertilizer requirements, and protect it from these nasty little bugs!!

Pools

You can now drain your pool less than 35,000 gallons without a permit.

Priority of draining locations:

1.  Drain on your property if possible – use for irrigation
2.  Residential cleanout
3.  Street 

Maintenance backwash water can only be discharged on the owner’s property!!  Don’t drain in the alley!! It makes a mess and you can be cited!

Your Alley and Your Weeds

Does your property share an alley wall? IT’S YOURS! You are responsible for the routine maintenance and upkeep of the wall and adjoining property. While the City of Tempe is responsible for the “heavy lifting” related to alley maintenance, residents share responsibility for making sure their alleys are free of weeds and debris. Unkempt alleys are an invitation for illegal dumping, fire hazards, and unsavory characters looking for junk and/or easy access to your home. The spring weeds can quickly become the early summer fire hazard. Be a good neighbor and keep Camelot Village alleys clean.
