BROWN SPOT TO RATS
Solutions Offered
To Various Pests
By PAUL HERSCHLER
County Agricultural Agent
Peats of all kinds are a prob-
lem the year around. Some we
are a little more concerned
with in the fall than at other
times. I’d like to discuss some
of these here in this article.
We will not include mothers-
in-law, however.
Brown patch or brown spot
in St. Augustine grass is show-
ing up this fall. This is not
caused by an insect but by a di-
sease in the grass. If your St.
Augustine shows signs of dy-
ing in spots over the yard,
chances are it is “brown spot’’.
Contact your insecticide and
fungicide dealer for a spray to
control this disease. Terraclor,
PCNB, or Tersan and other
similar fungicides usually give
good control. They are sold un-
der various trade names.
Rodents such as rats, mice
ed bait available in the county
agent’s office. Hats and mice
can best be controlled by either
liquid or dry baits that are
called anti-coagulants. These
can be obtained at drug stores,
feed stores and many grocery
stores. Be sure to follow direct-
ions. For the most part “baits’^
are not harmful to pets, do-
mestic animals, or humans if
used as directed. Some poisons
are however, so be sure to read
the labels on the container. Li-
quid baits are usuaHy more ef-
fective where feeds are stored
than are dry baits.
Skunks are also good rat and
mouse catchers, but sometimes
the wife objects to a skunk
around the house.
Household insects such as
termites, roaches, flies and etc.
can hi- controlled by various in-
secticides. For the most part
there are plenty of good insect-
