☀️ June is here, and you know what that means, Florida—Hurricane Season is officially here. 🌀
We all know the drill: the best time to prepare is before a cone of uncertainty is heading our way. June is the perfect month to beat the rush, avoid the empty grocery store shelves, and get your game plan ready.
Here is your quick June Checklist to get ahead of the game:
📦 Check Your Kit: Dust off the hurricane bin. Make sure you have at least a 7-day supply of non-perishable food, water (1 gallon per person/pet per day), and medications. 🔋 Stock Up Tax-Free: Don’t wait around for a temporary tax holiday! Did you know that essential items like batteries, portable generators, tarps, and gas cans are now permanently tax-free in Florida? Stock up at your own pace this month. 🌳 Yard Prep: Trim those overhanging tree branches now before the heavy summer rains and winds start. 📱 Review the Plan: Know your evacuation zone, double-check your homeowner's insurance policy, and make sure your hurricane shutters have all their hardware ready to go.
Let’s stay safe, stay prepared, and hope for a quiet season! 🌴☀️

Sarasota County, it’s that time of year again! 🚫🌿 The nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer ban is officially in effect from June 1st through September 30th.
Our summer rains wash these nutrients right off our lawns and into our waterways, feeding red tide and other harmful algae blooms. Please join us in helping to protect our beautiful bays and creeks!

Ever wonder why lovebugs always seem to take over the roads twice a year? 🚗💨
Despite the old urban legend, they weren't created in a university lab! These famous Florida hitchhikers are completely natural.
So, where do they hide when they aren't splattered on your windshield?
🌿 Where they live: As larvae, lovebugs live right under our feet in the topmost layer of soil, under damp thatch, decaying grass clippings, and leaves. They love warm, humid areas like pastures, roadsides, and manicured lawns. 🍂 What they do: They are actually great for the environment! While in the dirt, the larvae act as nature's recyclers, eating dead vegetation and turning it into rich nutrients for the soil. ☀️ The Swarm: Once they become adults, they take to the skies in April/May and August/September for just a few weeks to mate—which is why you see them flying in pairs!
They might be a messy nuisance for your car's paint, but they're harmless to humans and pets. Keep your car washed, and remember: this season will be over before you know it! 🧼✨

Don't wait for brown spots to tell you there's a problem! With the Florida heat about to kick into high gear, May is the perfect time for you to perform a DIY irrigation audit.

Take control of your curb appeal by ensuring every zone of your lawn is receiving a full 3/4 inch of water. Testing your system now prevents stress on your grass and saves you from costly sod repairs later this summer.
Quick DIY Audit Tip: The "Tuna Can" Test

Place empty tuna cans or small containers around your yard.

Run each irrigation zone for its normal duration.

Measure the depth; if it’s less than 3/4 inch, it’s time to adjust your run times!

Stay ahead of the heat—check your system today!
