During dry conditions ants will search for places where they can get water. Here are ways you can prevent ants from entering your home or business: • Avoid leaving food or dirty dishes on counters or sinks • Store pet food in an air-tight container and avoid leaving uneaten pet food out • Apply caulk to openings on baseboards or around pipes to prevent ants from coming through Before applying pesticide, consider nontoxic alternatives like soap and water or diluted vinegar. If you must apply pesticide, always follow the package instructions and “spot” apply instead of spraying entire areas. Avoid applying ant spray and turn off your irrigation system when there is rain predicted in the next couple of days. This will avoid pesticide runoff from your lawn and into the storm drain and eventually, the Santa Clara River. In addition, water is a vital resource and residents and businesses should avoid water running off your property during each use. With up to fifty percent of outdoor water use categorized as irrigation waste, here are a few tips to conserve water effectively: • Install drip irrigation or bubblers to avoid overspray • Fix leaks and broken irrigation systems • Water in the morning between 2:00 and 6:00 a.m. and turn off sprinklers during rain events • Water plants less frequently but more thoroughly (less than 5 minutes) • Visit yourSCVwater.com for seasonal water schedules For more information regarding water quality and water conservation, visit: www.GreenSantaClarita.com.
