David Larsen noted the plants at the Augusta median are too high — tried to make a left turn
onto 41— when checking to the right, did not have clear line of sight due to the height of the
hedges and also at Doral Circle.
Bob Kindelan observed the Lantana were being trimmed earlier in the morning.
Michael McGee stated the Bougainvillea had not been trimmed by the sign.
• There is an infestation of "White Fly" on Radio Road (completely full) and on the palm
trees on Rattlesnake
• He sent an email to the County to alert them to the problem
• The County's position is to not treat since it claims no damage is done
• Will inspect the palms and other trees — will treat with liquid chemical (preferred
method) to drench the soil at the roots
• If necessary, the leaves will also be sprayed
■ The chemical is guaranteed for one year
• Granular chemicals are not as effective — takes much longer — and may be an
issue if there are pets in the area
It was noted "white fly" will not kill the palm trees but will begin the process that creates sooty
mold. Sooty mold will kill Ficus.
