NEWS FROM THE OFFICE
WHAT TO DO ABOUT WEEDS
Yes, it is weed season again. With the weather warm-
ing and the moisture coming in we will have these nasty
weeds problems again this year.
The goal of the POA is to keep our beautiful Country
Club, beautiful. Nothing is more upsetting than to keep
your yard clean and weed free only to see your neigh-
bor’s yard FULL of weeds. The wind starts blowing and
then here come all those weed seeds.
Our CC&R’S state: “Weeds over 12” high or more are
in violation.”
Additionally there is a county-wide ordinance; 1997-2
stating : Property owners are to maintain their property
free of weeds. Your property goes all the way to the road-
way to include all drainages that abut your property, this
includes the drainage ditches.

We as an association want all the properties to look
their best and want all of our members to be proud to
live here in the Prescott Country Club. We can do this
with all your help.
If you have a neighbor that is not taking care of their
property please come and see Marge at the office and
fill out a WEED form. She will request a board mem-
ber pass the property to verify the complaint. If the
complaint is valid, we will contact that neighbor (not
using you name) and ask them to take care of it. We
do have a process we follow in an attempt to correct
the problem.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

CONTROLLING THE PACK RAT SITUATION
From time to time I get calls from members who are
fighting with pack rats. Since summer is upon us, it is
time to look around your property and start cleaning
up. Your property will not only look better but it will
keep the little pests away and prevent you from getting
a violation letter.
So, here is a little info:
The rats don’t like daylight. They come out at night
to feed, find water, and perhaps start another nest in-
side the old inoperable car in your driveway. (By the
way you can expect a violation letter from the office
any time now!) The rats like anywhere in or out of
your home that is dark. To keep them away from your
property, clear the areas where you have any type of
accumulation like wood piles, boxes, debris and junk.
Don’t use your front/back porch or carport as a stor-
age unit for appliances, couches, etc. (Again, this is a
violation of the CC&R’s). If you have any low grow-
ing bushes, trim them up so they aren’t touching the
ground and clear your property from leaves. Look
around and think like a rat: “if it’s warm, dark, out
of the weather, it is my new home”! They will chew
through anything to get nesting material.
Don’t use poison to kill the rats. Poison takes a week
or more to do its job and in the meantime you will
have more rats because they think the poison is food
(Weird, isn’t it). If a cat or hawk gets hold of the poi-
soned rat before it is dead, the cat or hawk is history
also in about a week. Use traps to kill them and clear
out the nests immediately.
The moral of the story: If you clean up your property
you won’t get a violation letter and you won’t get pack
rats!
