Arizona has two weed seasons: one after winter rains and one after monsoon storms. Pulling weeds while the soil is still damp and using a pre-emergent before each season keeps rock yards clean. Scorpions are the other desert-yard problem, and they glow under ultraviolet light, which makes a UV flashlight the simplest way to check walls and patios at night.
