hanks to low prices, stable mortgage rates and potential tax benefits, now is an ideal time to buy a home in Florida. To help you make the right choice, a Realtor® can provide knowledgeable, professional advice and guide you through every step of the transaction, saving time, money and aggravation.

A Realtor® can provide you with a full complement of services, including identifying suitable properties for your lifestyle and wallet; providing information about neighborhoods, communities and condominium developments; and determining the right price range. A Realtor® can also offer advice about the personal and financial data needed to apply for a home loan and help you navigate the purchase, including factors like price negotiation, financing, terms, date of possession, repairs and furnishings or equipment.

A Realtor® will assist you in finding qualified professionals to do property investigations and provide written reports and guide you through the closing process to make sure the transaction completes smoothly.

He or she voluntarily agrees to act under and abide by a code of ethics by becoming a member of the local, state and national Realtor® boards/associations. Realtors® abide by a set of professional principles, serve clients fairly and maintain a high level of industry knowledge about buying and selling of real estate. With a Realtor® involved, you can relax, knowing the purchase is in safe, knowledgeable, capable and caring hands.

Florida Realtors®, formerly known as the Florida Association of Realtors, serves as the voice of real estate in Florida. It provides programs, services, continuing education, research and legislative representation to its 140,000 members in 58 associations.

5 Tips to Get More Out of Your Backyard Now that warmer weather has arrived, there is nothing better than spending time outside on your deck or patio.

B

ut before you can enjoy those outdoor spaces to the fullest, you need to put in a little work to make them feel fresh and new again.

These tips from gardener, outdoors expert and author of the Garden Betty blog Linda Ly can help you clean up your outdoor space and refresh your home’s exterior just in time to host a summer barbecue party.

MAKE IT EDIBLE. If you’re conflicted about what to plant, turn to functional plants that look good and taste great, too. Ly’s favorite meals come from her backyard, with raised beds where she rotates vegetables such as kale, beets and radishes, and herbs are scattered throughout the garden in small beds and pots. She also grows fruit trees, flowers and a cactus garden and has a composting area and tiki coop for chickens.

READY THE DECK. No one likes fungus on the deck—or mildew stains, dirt or weather-beaten patches. Pressure wash your deck, re-stain it with a matching color and finish and apply a wood preservative to help prevent water damage and discoloration.

REMOVE MOLD AND MILDEW. Mold and mildew can form on the exterior siding and trim of your home, as well as on patio furniture, flower pots and swimming pools. It’s important to regularly clean the outside of your house as well as your outdoor furniture and accessories that may be susceptible to standing water to remove any mold or mildew. It is easy to remove mold or mildew with a garden hose, a longhandled brush and a mixture of one-half cup of Clorox Regular-Bleach per each gallon of water.

GIVE IT A FRESH COAT. Weather can really take a toll on a paint job. If your shutters are looking dull or more washed out than before, it might be time for a touch-up. Same goes for the garage door as well as your front door. Nothing is more welcoming to guests than a well-caredfor facade.

STOP THE SPREAD OF FUNGAL DISEASE IN GARDENS. One thing to be mindful of in the garden is fungal diseases, which can be deadly to plants and wildlife. Although it may not be the first thing that comes to mind, Clorox RegularBleach when used as directed is a simple but powerful tool that is often used to help stop the spread of fungal diseases and can even keep flowers alive longer when you add a small amount to the vase.

Combating WarmWeather Bugs

Tips to prevent pest-related illness and irritation this summer

W

ith temperatures rising and homeowners heading outdoors for picnics, parties and gatherings, insect-induced risks are fully in season. With disease-carrying bugs buzzing around, it’s time to take the proper steps in protecting your lawn so that you can enjoy living life outside to the fullest and get the most out of your backyard this summer.

Warm-weather bugs, such as fleas and ticks, offer risks that include irritating bites and Lyme disease, which is transmitted by deer ticks and is typically accompanied by fever, headache, fatigue and a skin rash. If left untreated, Lyme disease can cause nervous system damage. Ticks can often be found in heavily wooded regions and naturalized areas with tall, un-mowed grass and other plants. Pets and families should be aware of tick problems in these areas if left untreated.

Fleas are also a problem for pets if left undetected. Fleas thrive in warm, dry periods of summer and can be difficult to control. Other lawn pests, including chiggers, ants and spiders, can be an irritation for families playing in their yard.

Taking proper preventive measures can help protect your family and your yard from these and other nuisance pests. The National Pest Management Association and the Centers for Disease Control recommend the following tips:

› Clear tall grass and brush. › Mow frequently, and keep

leaves raked. › Remove vegetation or trash from

around any source of standing water that cannot be changed, dumped or removed. › Screen windows, doors and other

openings with fine mesh, and

keep doors and windows shut to prevent entry.

Concerned homeowners should also consider contacting an outdoor pest control professional who can help reduce exposure to fleas, ticks and other pests, decreasing the risks for pest-borne illnesses. For example, the TruShield Lawn Pest Control Plan available through TruGreen includes an inspection of your lawn and treatment of any problem areas. The service also includes a broad application to significantly reduce the population of any other active lawn pests and additional applications every four to six weeks for lasting control and ongoing protection.

“Using a professional to help control lawn pests should be part of a well-rounded, comprehensive defense program,” said Bob Mangan, TruGreen director of technical services. “Because ticks and other nuisance pests can congregate in backyards, it is especially important to help protect yourself and your family so that you can fully enjoy your outdoor time.”

› Have pets treated for flea and

tick control, and keep them on a regular regimen. › When outdoors, use an insect

repellent containing DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon-eucalyptus on exposed skin.

Learn more about how to reduce your exposure to dangerous pests and help defend your home and family from unwanted lawn visitors at TruGreen.com.

Less Fuel, More Power 3 lawn care technologies that provide strength, sustainability.

A

s homeowners constantly look for ways to be more environmentally friendly, lawn equipment is a good place to start. There are revolutionary lawn care products on the market today that provide a more efficient way to accomplish tasks around the yard without sacrificing power and strength.

Electronic fuel-injected engines, which have been used for decades on the automotive side, are now available on riding lawn tractors, such as the Cub Cadet XT2 LX42. The technology reduces emissions and delivers excellent fuel consumption— using up to 25 percent less fuel than standard carbureted engines while providing the same amount of power.

“Lower fuel consumption is a top benefit to residential lawn mower customers,” said Emily Sword, director of brand marketing for Cub Cadet. “A riding mower with a fuel-injected engine is one way to achieve those fuel savings, using significantly less fuel without compromising power.”

For those who want to take fuel-savings even further, there’s an even more efficient lawn mowing option. The RZT-S ZERO is the first electric zero-turn rider with steering wheel control and four-wheel steering. It does not require gasoline, oil or an oil filter and gives off no emissions or engine noise, making it one of the most environmentally friendly lawn mowers on the market. On an overnight charge, the electric motor is ready for 60 minutes of cutting in “blade boost mode”—which is enough power to mow an acre on a single charge with no power fade.

Dual direct-drive electric motors power each blade for efficient and abundant power with a 42-inch cutting width. There are also no worries of turf damage caused by the turning of the wheels.

The exclusive steering wheel control and four-wheel steering provides unsurpassed maneuverability on all types of terrain, with exceptional traction and stability on hills.

There’s also technology available for handheld lawn equipment that gives off no emissions. CORE, a sophisticated motor technology that delivers more torque with longer runtimes and no gasoline is available in Cub Cadet string trimmers, hedgers and leaf blowers. It’s the same type of technology used in wind turbines and submarines. In addition to no emissions, it offers reduced noise and high torque levels equal to two-cycle gasoline engines.

For more information about this innovative lawn care equipment, visit CubCadet.com.
