Buy or sell, termites should be top-of-mind during spring real estate season (BPT) - Spring is here, and it's the perfect time to sell or buy a home. Whether you're putting your home on the market, or shopping for a new house for your family, you have a lot to think about - and termites should be near the top of your list. Just as swarms of homebuyers will start circulating through neighborhoods with the arrival of spring, the warmer weather also brings out termite swarms. A termite infestation can quickly turn your dream home sale or purchase into a living nightmare. "Termites cause about $5 billion in damage every year, and when you consider that they've been around since the days of the dinosaurs, it's probably safe to say they've done more damage to human homes than any other critter on earth," says Cindy Mannes, vice president of public affairs for the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). "Fortunately, we've come a long way in detecting and treating termite infestations over the millennia!" Worldwide, about 2,000 termite species munch on wood, destroying walls, floors and wallpaper in homes, and also damaging forests. They are present in 70 percent of countries around the world, and they outnumber human beings by a ratio of 10 to one. The most common termite species in the U.S. are Formosan termites, dampwood termites, drywood termites and subterranean termites, the last of
which are the most destructive because they eat non-stop. A professional inspection is the best way to detect the presence of termites, but you can watch for warning signs as you are house hunting or getting yours

ready to put on the market. Signs include: * Mud tubes may appear around the outside of a house. Termites use these tubes to reach a food source. Typically, these tubes look like a thick line of dirt on the foundation of a home. * Tap on wood near the floor, such as baseboards or even wood floors themselves. If the wood sounds hollow when tapped it could mean termites have softened the wood. * Termites also leave a bit of themselves behind as evidence. You may see small piles of feces that resemble sawdust near a termite nest. Discarded wings near doors or on windowsills can indicate a swarm has occurred and the swarmers have entered the home. Termites swarm to create new nests. Winged "swarmers" leave the original nest and go in search of new digs where they can establish a colony. You may see swarmers on windowsills or near doors and think they're flying ants. You can tell the difference by their wings. While both flying ants and termite swarmers have front and back

pairs of wings, on termites both pairs are the same length. On ants, the back wings will be much shorter than the front ones. A professional termite inspection remains the best way to detect the presence of termites, yet 52 percent of American homeowners have never had their homes inspected, according to an NPMA survey. Termite detection, remediation and control isn't something you can do yourself. "A termite inspection should be a part of any home buying or selling process, although not all states require one for the sale or purchase of a home," Mannes says. "However, when you consider the cost-benefit of having an inspection done, it's well worth the investment. Termites can cause thousands of dollars in damage to a home and more importantly can compromise the structure's stability and safety. So, it's best to act quickly if a problem is suspected."

THE ALBANY HERALD • SWGA HOMES • Sunday, March 13, 2016 • www.albanyherald.com 5
Clover comeback: Today's twist to a lush, green, easy, eco-smart lawn alternative (BPT) - Who doesn't love the look and feel of a lush, green lawn? Having your home surrounded by gorgeous green turf has forever been part of the American dream. But once reality sets in, maintaining and irrigating traditional turf lawns can cost you time and money. If you're an eco-conscious homeowner, or just want gorgeous green surrounding your home, you may find it difficult to justify the expense, water and chemicals involved in modern lawn maintenance. Many smart, eco-conscious homeowners are finding a sure-fire solution in a lush, fast-growing and hardy ground cover that's been unfairly relegated to weed status for decades. Clover is making a comeback. "If you're older than 30, you may remember your father trying to rid his manicured lawn of clover that just kept on growing," says Troy Hake, owner of seed company, Outsidepride.com. "Today, clover has turned over a new leaf. It offers many advantages over traditional turf, which is why golf courses and sports fields in Europe have been using it for years instead of grass. Clover stays green longer, grows fast, thrives in shade or sun, and even acts as a natural fertilizer wherever it grows. Miniclover is especially attractive, and can help you get that thick, lush, lovely green lawn you've been looking for." As more Americans become aware of the need to use more natural and sustainable lawn care practices, and warmer weather brings more water shortages throughout the country, clover is gaining ground in residential lawns across the U.S. The splendor of sustainable clover
Hardy and versatile Miniclover grows well in sun or partial shade and its deep roots, (deeper than traditional turf) enable it to reach the natural water table amd give it a high tolerance for drought conditions. Clover stays green long after grass has turned brown - a significant advantage as water shortages continue to occur across the country. In fact, 80 percent of state water managers surveyed by the Government Accountability Office in 2014 said they expect some portion of their states to experience water shortages within the next 10 years. Miniclover can also be used for erosion control; it tolerates wear, so it's a smart choice for high-traffic areas like golf courses - or your backyard where children and pets run and play all summer! Easy on the environment Clover is environmentally friendly in
multiple ways. In addition to needing less water to thrive, it can grow in poor soil without the need for chemical fertilizers. In fact, because clover infuses the soil with nitrogen, it acts as a natural fertilizer and can actually make surrounding grass healthier when you mix it in a turf lawn. Clover can be a natural way to fix soil that's nitrogen deficient and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers. Dollar-smart A full or partial clover lawn will not only save money on your water bill, you'll spend less on lawn care, too. Miniclover is fast and easy to grow, requires much less mowing and fertilization, and less investment in maintenance. Because it's a semi-aggressive species, after an initial seeding, Miniclover will quickly fill in gaps in lawns, preventing weeds from filling in bare spots. "Miniclover is very cost-effective,
within the first year after sowing, you could recoup your investment with lower fertilizer, weed control, mowing and irrigation costs," Hake says. To learn more about clover's advantages as a lawn alternative, ground cover, natural fertilizer and filler for bare spots, visit www.outsidepride.com.
404764-2
Clover comes in a wide variety of sizes, but rich green leaves are characteristic of all clovers. Miniclover, considered the top turf alternative for lawns, is a perennial that grows to be about 4 inches tall - about half the size of the White Dutch Clover common in lawns you've seen for years. Miniclover is a productive producer and the more you mow it, the smaller the leaf sizes will grow, providing a thick, carpet-like appearance that blends well with turf. Miniclover's growth begins earlier than grass and continues to stay green
and thrive even when drought conditions and cold temps turn turf brown.

Planning to age in place? Don't overlook need for balanced natural light (BPT) - When homeowners think about improvements that can allow them to stay in their homes longer as they grow older, they may focus on things like grab bars in the bathroom or wider doorways to boost accessibility and safety. Yet they often overlook another critical type of improvement that addresses both those concerns, and directly affects seniors' health - access to glare-free, balanced natural light. Age-related changes in vision like cataracts or macular degeneration can mean you'll require more quality light to see well. Yet artificial light can create glare or affect visual acuity. What's more, simply adding more artificial lights could increase your electricity bill - at a point in your life where controlling expenses is more important than ever. Natural light can be the answer. The benefits of natural light are well-documented. It allows people to see better in order to perform tasks, affects the body's sleep rhythms, influences mood and perception, and facilitates important bodily processes, according to a report by the Center for Health Design. Bringing more natural light into the home can be especially beneficial for seniors who may not get out as much, have vision issues, have trouble regulating their sleep cycles or experience feelings of isolation and depression. If you're considering making home improvements to help you age in place more enjoyably, here are three ways to incorporate more natural light into your home redesign: * Ditch the heavy drapes - If your windows currently have thick, heavy drapes for privacy and insulation, consider replacing them with cordless blinds or even remote operated blinds two styles that are friendly for people with dexterity issues. These easier-toopen blinds will allow you to maximize the amount of natural light that enters your home through windows, and removing heavy-looking drapes will brighten up the interior decor. * Install skylights - Natural light from above can be a great way to enhance your ability to see well, improve your
mood, and encourage your body to produce more vitamin D. Installing Energy Star-qualified solar-powered fresh-air skylights allows you to provide balanced natural light and passive ventilation to any space, including bathrooms (where privacy is a concern) and kitchens (where visual acuity is critical for everyday tasks). Skylight manufacturer Velux America makes their products especially friendly for seniors by providing programmable remote-controls to open and close their fresh-air skylights, as well as their lightcontrolling solar-powered blinds, which are available in designer colors and patterns to brighten your decor while increasing skylight energy efficiency. And when downsizing, seniors can use skylights to make a smaller room feel larger. Sara and Frank Mansbach, homeowners in Greenville, South Carolina, downsized when they approached retirement age and utilized skylights in their new home. "I read a lot and am on the computer a lot," Mrs. Mansbach says, "and it isn't until eight at night that we ever turn on any lights
because the light is just there for us to use. And on those winter days when it's cold outside, it's cheerful in here. The light comes in and the warmth comes in and it brightens your spirits." What's more, whether you are installing new skylights or replacing older glass or plastic bubble skylights, the latest solar powered models, and solar powered blinds, are eligible for a 30 percent federal tax credit as are installation costs. Visit www.whyskylights.com to learn more. * Enhance light with color - Paint is always one of the easiest, most costeffective ways to improve a home's interior - and repainting in lighter, more vision-friendly colors and textures can help maximize the value of the natural light that enters a room. Choose bright, pleasing colors in paint textures that minimize glare, which can make it
difficult for aging eyes to see well. Pay attention to the Light Reflectance Value (LVR) of the paint you're considering this number provided by paint manufacturers on sample chips and labels tells you how much light the color reflects vs. absorbs. Seniors should aim for paints in the LVR midrange of 40-60. Many home improvements can make it possible to age in place while enjoying your home well into retirement. Increasing balanced natural lighting is an important improvement that not only affects the livability of your home, but your physical and mental wellbeing, too.
Spring cleaning: 6 areas to repair, replace and refresh (BPT) - Spring is one of the most popular times of year to clean up your home inside and out, make renovations and take steps to ensure it operates efficiently for the rest of the year. But after the long winter months, the list of projects can pile up. This year, focus on six key areas to repair, replace and refresh around your house now - to avoid spending more time and money later. 1. Repair your roof and gutters. Inspect the roof to check for loose or cracked shingles. Also, be sure to look at indoor ceilings for any signs of water leakage and get started on repairs before more damage occurs. Take a look at the gutters to see if there are areas in need of repair as well, and tackle them now before there's too much rain. 2. Repair and reseal your deck. Remove debris and sweep the deck clean. Fix broken or bent boards and pushed up nails. Choose a cleanser formulated for your deck surface whether for wood or composite - and apply a new coat of sealer and stain. A local home improvement center can advise you on formulations for your particular needs. 3. Replace your furnace. As you make home upgrades, this is also a good time to upgrade your furnace for greater home comfort and lower energy bills. For example, American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning's Gold S9V2 Gas Furnace is extremely efficient in heating your home and offers quiet operation. Standing at just 34 inches high by 17-1/2 inches wide, it's compact enough to fit in tight spaces, like a closet
or basement. And with a 96 percent gas efficiency (AFUE) rating, it's one of the most efficient furnaces on the market. 4. Replace windows and doors. Older windows can let unwanted air and moisture into your home. Installing newer, more efficient models will not only save money on cooling in summer and heating in winter, but they can bring the look of your home up to date. Replacing your front door in a great color and style can also add to your home's efficiency and instantly add curb appeal. 5. Refresh with paint. There's nothing like a new coat of paint to transform and update the look of a home. It's also one of the easiest and most economical home improvement projects you can undertake. Check out your local paint store for ideas and suggestions to help you visualize your home in fresh new colors. 6. Refresh your indoor air. The spring and fall months can trigger allergies, so consider adding an indoor air cleaner. An American Standard AccuClean whole-home system, for instance, can remove up to 99.98 percent of airborne particles and allergens such as pollen, dust mites, mildew, pet hair and dander and fungus and bacteria, so everyone in your home can breathe easier. Lastly, renew your commitment to home maintenance by creating a yearly schedule of home projects. Mark your calendar with target dates to remind yourself to complete key tasks including what to focus on for the next season, before the colder months arrive.

Take 10 Minutes To Stop Leaks (NAPS)—Want to stop wasting water—and money—at home? Become a leak detective! According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average American household has leaks that waste more than 10,000 gallons of water every year, or the amount of water needed to wash 270 loads of laundry. But if you have 10 minutes, these clues can help you detect and fix leaks throughout your home: • Check your utility bill. During the winter, if a family of four is using more than 12,000 gallons of water per month, it could be the clue to a leak. • Read your water meter. Check your water meter—often near the curb in front of your home or in the basement—during a period when no water is being used. If the reading is not exactly the same after two or three hours, you could have a leak. • Take a 10-minute toilet test. Put a few drops of food coloring into the tank at the back of your toilet and let it sit for 10 minutes. If color shows up in the bowl, you have a leak. Make sure to flush after to avoid staining, and consider replacing your old toilet flapper if it is torn or worn. While you’re waiting for your toilet test, here are other places to investigate for leaks around the home: • In the bathroom, tighten showerhead connections with a wrench or use a little pipe tape to stop those stray sprays and drips that are draining your water bill. To save even more, twist WaterSense labeled faucet aerators on your bathroom sink faucets, which can save the average family 700 gallons of water per year and enough energy to run a hair dryer 10 minutes per day! • In the kitchen, check beneath the sink for puddles under pipes. Don’t forget the laundry or utility room! • Outside, check that your hose connections are tight and your sprinkler system is in good working order. An irrigation system that has a leak 1/32nd of an inch in diameter (about the thickness of a dime) can waste about 6,300 gallons of water per month! EPA has declared March 14–20, 2016, Fix a Leak Week to remind consumers to find and fix leaks. Take 10 minutes to be a leak detective. The water you save could wash your laundry for 10 months! Learn more at www.epa.gov/watersense. EPA reminds consumers to detect leaks and stop them in their tracks before they add 10 percent to your water bill.
