Hunter's Chase GazetteYard and Garden TipsRED YUCCA FOR RESTRICTED WATERING TIMES

Debbie Cole of Greater Texas Landscape Services recommends the red yucca as a drought-tolerant choice for your yard:

Red yucca (Hesperaloe spp.) is a favorite in home landscapes as well as on commercial sites. It has interesting leaves, pretty tall spikes of coral blooms and is DROUGHT TOLERANT! It is not subject to pest damage or disease damage. The only problem is that deer do love to nip off the blooms (if you have heavy populations of deer eating everything in sight, expect them to use your Yucca blooms for salad!)

GOOD PLANT CHOICES FORA BUTTERFLY GARDEN

Red Barn Garden Center offers a list of plants to help create a butterfly garden:

How about a butterfly garden? Attracting butterflies to your yard adds another dimension of beauty. When planning a butterfly garden, select a sunny area which offers some protection from the wind. Butterflies are attracted to color and some of their favorite nectar plants include Tropical Milkweed, Lantana, Verbena, Pentas, Zinnias, Buddleia (or Butterfly Bush), as well as many others.

For other tips, visit http://redbarngardencenter.net/information-and-planning.html

Contact Debbie at 512-626-0600 with questions or for landscaping suggestions.

Hunter's Chase GazetteTackling Mosquitoes

Wizzie Brown of the Texas AgriLife Extension Service Program offers valuable tips on reducing mosquito problems around the home.

Mosquitoes can be very irritating and disrupt outdoor activities. They also are able to transmit various diseases to humans and animals. Mosquitoes are known to transmit heartworm in dogs and cats, and they can spread encephalitis (including West Nile Virus), Chikungunya, dengue, yellow fever, malaria and filariasis among humans.

Most female mosquitoes require a blood meal for egg production whereas males feed on nectar and do not bite. Eggs can be laid on the surface of water or in dry locations that are occasionally flooded by water. Some eggs are able to remain dormant under dry conditions for several months. Eggs hatch into larvae, or wigglers. Mosquito larvae live in water and feed on organic debris or microscopic plants and animals. Larvae molt into pupae which do not feed. Mosquito pupae spend the majority of their time at the surface of the water, only moving when disturbed.

Many things can help to reduce mosquito problems around the home. Eliminate all sources of standing water. Containers such as watering cans, buckets and bottles can turn into mosquito breeding grounds. Water should be drained from birdbaths, gutters, flowerpots and pet dishes at least once a week. Children’s wading pools should

be emptied of water at least once a week and stored so they cannot collect water when not in use. Tree holes should be filled in with sand or mortar, or drained after each rain. Leaky faucets and pipes located outside should be repaired.

Areas that cannot be drained, such as ponds or large rain collection systems, can be stocked with mosquito fish that eat mosquito larvae. Dunks can also be used in these areas. Dunks are a small, donut-shaped product that contains Bacillus thuringiensis var. israeliensis. The donut disrupts the life cycle of the mosquito and is non-toxic to humans, amphibians and fish.

Avoiding peak hours when mosquitoes are active is probably the best method to avoid being bitten. When outside, wear loose-fitting, light-colored clothing with long sleeves & long pants. Repellants containing active ingredients such as DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus can be effective to keep mosquitoes from biting when evening activities cannot be rescheduled. Other products such as citronella candles will also repel mosquitoes, but work best in enclosed areas.

For more information or help with identification, contact Wizzie Brown, Texas AgriLife Extension Service Program Specialist at 512-854-9600. Check out Wizzie's blog at www.urban-ipm.blogspot.com

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths. Screening is vital because early stages of the disease are easier to treat. The American Cancer Society recommends women:

• Obtain yearly mammography screenings, beginning at age 40• Obtain yearly clinical breast exams• Check your breasts regularly for lumps• Discuss their breast cancer risk with their physicianBreast cancer risk increases as we age. Other factors that increase

a woman’s risk for breast cancer include:• Having started menstrual periods at a young age• Having a first child after age 30• Use of hormone replacement therapy• Having a family history of breast cancer

Men are also at risk for rare cases of breast cancer. All persons familiar with the normal look and feel of their breasts should promptly report any unexpected changes to their physicians. The American Cancer Society recommends both women and men consult their doctor if they notice any of the following:

• A new, hard lump or thickening in any part of the breast• Change in breast size or shape• Dimpling or puckering of the skin• Swelling, redness, or warmth that does not go away• Recurrent pain in a particular part of the breast• Pulling in of the nipple• Nipple discharge that starts suddenly in only one breast• An itchy, sore, or scaly area on one nipple

For more information about breast cancer and early detection, contact your health care provider, your Concentra health specialist, visit the American Cancer Society Web Site at: www.cancer.org, or visit the

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month Web site at: http://nbcam.org/
