Fire ant control will be another topic discussed as this is a problem in many of our landscapes. The program is free and sponsored by the Fair Oaks Ranch Homeowners' Association. A xeriscape plant will be given to each family as well as door prizes and available xeriscape publications. Be sure to mark your calendar for April 28. Fair Oaks Ranch covers approximately 5,000 acres.
Deer are native to the area.
As new areas are developed, the deer continue to remain and prosper in Fair Oaks Ranch. Several residents have discovered that feeding the deer protein pellets have resulted in healthier deer and has an additional bonus of the deer remaining in a certain area of their yard and not bothering plants near houses and flowerbeds. Make sure garbage can lids are closed. Do not leave pet food and water outside. Keep your yard free of brush and low branches.
