You may see it only in sunny areas of your lawn and not in the shade as the sunlight activates Red Thread.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid any night\/evening watering. This will only aggravate the fungus. If you have an irrigation system, allow the lawn to dry out for a few days.<\/li>\n<li>A regular mowing schedule will help mow off the fungus. Collect your clippings to prevent the spread of the fungus.<\/li>\n<li>This fungus condition is associated with high soil acidity. We can add a <strong>Lime Application<\/strong> to your program if it is not already included. This will help balance your lawn\u2019s pH.<\/li>\n<li>Our <strong>Soil Enrichment Program<\/strong> is a great way to improve your soil quality as well as reduce the likelihood of turf disease and fungus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to learn more about Red Thread and other common fungal diseases, please call (781) 826-2920 or read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/southshore-ma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2020\/03\/GTG-Final.2.pdf\">Our Latest Newsletter<\/a>.
