TIPS FOR A SAFER MONSOON SEASON
This Monsoon Season, help protect our water quality by using pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers sparingly and as directed.
} Read packaging carefully and apply the correct amount of chemical for your lawn size and type.
} Check the weather and do not fertilize or apply pesticides or herbicides right before a rain event when chemicals can more easily wash off into the environment.
} Consider using non-toxic alternatives or converting your turf into water-wise “Xeriscape” landscape!
The City of Avondale is a member of STORM.
