Spring Garage Sale
State law limits the number of garage sales an
individual can hold to two per year (see Houston
Chronicle, Monday, 17 September 2012, page B6).
Residents who exceed that number will be treated
by the state of Texas as operating a business, and
therefore will be in violation of the deed
restrictions. Imperial Oaks Park POA is a deed
restricted community and violations of the deed
restrictions can result in attorney action.
Please report instances of excessive garage sale
activity to the Association office.
When: Saturday,
March 25th, 8:00 am
Where: Your house and
your neighbors’
How: Rain or Shine
The POA will advertise and put out
banners, all you have to do is:
Do your Spring Cleaning
Put up your sign at your house
Sell your stuff!
Buy more stuff!

I would like to discuss a little about one
of the more common insect pests.
Scale and Mealy Bug.
Scale is a sucking insect that pierce the
plant tissue and drink the fluids, causing
yellowing and even death to the plant.
There are 8,000 species of scale.
Scale insects have 2 body types:
armored and soft bodied
The armored scale produces a hard
waxy coating and attaches its self to a
leaf or stem.
Soft bodied scale produce a wax
coating usually looking like cotton.
Mealy Bug is in this class of scale.
Controls for scale are:
Horticultural Oil sprays – These coat
the insect and suffocate it and can only
be used in cooler temperatures.
Systemic Insecticides – These insect
killers are absorbed into the plants
system and poison the insect as it
feeds.
If you have any questions please e-mail
me at [email protected].
Spring is here and the work begins.
Many of us love to work in the yard! But
for those of you that don’t, just think of
it as an outdoor gym.
Sometime this month it will be time to
fertilize your lawn. There is no set date
to fertilize, it is all temperature related.
A good rule of thumb is when you see
your lawn 50% green, it is time to
fertilize.
Spring is the only time I recommend a
high Nitrogen fertilizer (the first number
on the bag). We usually have cooler
temperatures and enough rain to keep
for having to run the sprinkler system all
the time to keep from burning the lawn.
If you use a “Weed and Feed”
fertilizer, READ THE BAG. There are two
main herbicides in weed and feeds,
Atrazine or Trimec. They are applied
differently.
