sowed the fi rst part of your lawn in one direction, you can crisscross back over that part at a 90-degree angle, making sure you keep equal distance and calibrate your spreader at the same speed.

• Add mulch for aesthetic and practical appeal. Moist helps the soil, and can also add aesthetic appeal to a lawn. Moist helps the soil by allowing it to retain mois-ture, making it more conducive to growing healthy grass.

When laying mulch down, keep the mulch at roughly a quarter-inch to ensure your lawn will grow in nicely.

Few things exude the spirit of summer more than a backyard barbecue. Casual attire is ex-pected, and the a good time is had by all.

One thing that can ruin even the best barbecue, however, is the uninvited guest with a big ap-petite. And it’s not Uncle Frank. Mosquitoes might not ask for a third or fourth hamburger, but they do tend to feast whenever they get the chance.

At best, mosquitoes are annoy-ing and pesky. At worst, mosqui-toes pose a serious health risk to adults and pets, as mosquitoes can carry viruses that result in illness.

But mosquitoes don’t have to ruin your outdoor plans this summer. Instead, taking a proac-tive approach before the summer season starts can help reduce the risk of mosquitoes dropping by your next barbecue.

The following methods can make your yard less attractive to hungry mosquitoes, ensuring Uncle Frank will be the only one fi lling up at the next barbecue.

• Destroy or dispose of tin cans,

old tires, buckets and similar water-holding containers.

• Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers that are left outside and cover trash containers to keep out rainwater.

• Clean clogged roof gutters on an annual basis.

• Change water every week in birdbaths and wading pools.

• Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with fi sh.

• Clean and chlorinate swim-ming pools that are not being used.

• Check for trapped water in plastic or canvas tarps and arrange them so they drain properly.

• Clean animal troughs week-ly.

• Irrigate lawns and gardens carefully to prevent water from standing for several days

Don’t let mosquitoes ruin your BBQ
