Drought conditions create more than just dry lawns and stressed landscapes. As water becomes scarce and plant life recedes, pests begin searching for new harborage sites and food sources. One of the most overlooked contributors to this problem is unmanaged weed growth. Weeds not only compete with desirable plants for moisture, but they also provide […]
