PATIO COVERS | PERGOLAS | CARPORTS | PORTE COCHÈRES OUTDOOR KITCHENS | DECORATIVE OUTDOOR FLOORING

Never trick or treat alone. Have at least 2 buddies go with you. Young children should always go with an adult. Plan your entire route and make sure your family knows what it is. Carry a flashlight and wear a watch. Be very cautious of strangers. Visit houses with lights on, especially with Halloween decorations. Accept treats only in the doorway. Never go inside a house. Never pick up treats from the street. They may be poisoned or belong to another kid. Wearing a mask? Be sure it has large eyeholes ... better yet, wear face paint. Wear a flame retardant costume with reflector strips on the front & back. Walk, Do Not run. Walk on sidewalks & driveways. Look both ways when crossing a street.

The Clippings Floodwater Mosquitoes

If you’ve been outside lately, you have most likely noticed the giant mosquitoes that seem to want to pick people up and carry them off. With recent weather conditions, floodwater mosquitoes have emerged in large numbers. Floodwater mosquitoes lay their eggs above the water line in ponds, ditches, pastures, or other places where water collects. The eggs can remain in dry areas and when these areas are flooded the eggs hatch, leading to swarms of hungry mosquitoes. These mosquitoes are larger than mosquitoes we are used to and can swarm in high numbers. While floodwater mosquitoes won’t last forever, other mosquitoes called container breeding mosquitoes emerge when floodwaters begin to recede. Many of these species are ones that we are used to seeing around our homes. 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, donutshaped 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. When outside, wear loose-fitting, light colored clothing with long sleeves & long pants. Repellants containing active ingredients such as DEET, Picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus can be effective to keep mosquitoes from biting when activities cannot be rescheduled.

Harvey Effects in Real Estate Prepare for the shift into a seller’s market! Inventory will be low and demand for homes that did not flood will be higher than ever. Rentals, Rentals, Rentals, if you are considering putting your home on the market as a rental, NOW is the time to do it. People all over the city are looking for dry houses they can call home for the next few months and up to a year. Price gouging in a time of catastrophe; just don’t do it. While the supply and demand concept is a real thing, these homes still need to appraise once they are under contract. Tracy Montgomery Cell: 713.825.5905

Don’t jeopardize your risk of appraising by overpricing your home! If your home is currently on the market consider becoming an investor. If your situation allows for it, consider renting out your current home after purchasing your new one. When purchasing a home after a catastrophe don’t be completely driven away by insurance claims, more and more houses will have that disclosed and it will be a commonly seen aspect of many homes to come.
