If you are sexually active, you can do the following things to lower your chances of getting gonorrhea: 1  Being in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and has negative STD test results; 2  Using latex condoms the right way every time you have sex.
The best time to dethatch is late summer or early fall. That's when your grass is growing most vigorously. Before dethatching, mow a little shorter than normal. Also, you'll achieve better results if you do it after a light rain or watering.
Removing debris isn't only a fall chore in some yards; many trees such as black locust, oaks and maples drop litter in spring and summer. While you're clearing the gutters, also check for cracks in the seams. Use an old chisel to scrape the old caulking out and dry the area thoroughly.
