Stinkbugs Come in Different Colors
Q. What is this bug?
Have hundreds or them in my yard. Are they harmful to my plants (vegetable and
flower). How do I get rid of them?
You Don't Need to Pick Up Grass Clippings if you Manage Your Lawn Correctly
Q. The landscapers for our HOA are using mulching mowers on
our grass. The cut grass often remains on top, browns and causes the grass under
to brown out also. Should grass be mulched in our desert? The landscape foremen
bagged the grass and took it away.
Oleander Freeze Damage Can Be Fixed By Cutting Plant Back
Q. I have an oleander that suffered extensive freeze damage
this past winter. It is still brown but coming back slowly. I would like to
improve the looks of the bush without killing it. Should I prune the dead
looking branches or just let it go
Stinkbugs Attack Residence and Car in Henderson Nevada
Q. We have thousands of these beetles in our trees here in
Henderson. Yesterday they collected on a neighbor’s car by the
thousands. They sprayed them off. These bugs left imprints on the finish
of their car that were unremovable. What are these bugs and what do we tell our
pest control companies to do?
Ocotillo Watering Should be Infrequent in Desert Landscapes
Q. I have trouble with my Ocotillo.
They get beautiful green leaves that last about two to three
weeks and then turn brown and fall off. They are on my watering system.
Are they getting too much water?
Lantana and Yellow Bells Should Not Be Dead from Winter Cold
Q. I have had Tecoma stans, Yellow bells, in the backyard as
well as lantana for the past 3 or 4 summers. They do well but never winter over.
When I dig them up to replant, the root structures seem to be healthy and
alive. The tag on the plant says they are cold hardy. Is there anything I can
do to help them winter over?
