Peak mosquito season means peak West Nile risk in Texas. Here are four simple steps to protect your family this summer:

- Remove standing water (flowerpots, buckets, wheelbarrows)
- Drain or cover unused pools
- Avoid peak hours (9 p.m. to 2 a.m.)
- Wear light, long-sleeved clothing and use EPA-registered repellent

The Science of Deep Watering:
The key to watering mature turf is to let the grass reach the early stages of drought stress before you water. This may seem contrary to the home lawn enthusiast, who would never want to intentionally stress their turf. But the science indicates that this kind of stress is actually necessary for a plant to grow the deep roots that will allow it to withstand actual drought.

When a plant—in this case, grass—experiences mild stress from water deprivation, it releases a hormone called Abscisic Acid (ABA). As the drought persists and more ABA is produced, the grass takes action to preserve its water. The stomata, tiny pores in the grass blade, close up to preserve water, and the cuticle, the surface of the grass blade, grows thicker. The increased ABA causes a plant to grow deeper roots to reach out for more moisture deeper underground.

The goal of deep, infrequent watering is to allow the grass to experience mild to moderate drought stress so that it produces ABA and deeper roots between waterings.
