The mosquitoes this summer are as thick as little annoying thieves. To keep mosquitoes from breeding even more, and to prevent bites that could lead to disease, use these best-practice tips from the Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District (OCMVCD).

Eliminate Breeding Sources  

• Deseche el agua de los platillos de las plantas en macetas con la mayor frecuencia posible.
• Vacíe y vacíe otros recipientes llenos de agua con la mayor frecuencia posible.
• Limpie y frote los baños de pájaros y los cuencos de agua para mascotas semanalmente. 

Prevent Bites

• Aplique repelente de mosquitos en la piel expuesta antes de salir al aire libre; vuelva a aplicarlo según se recomiende.
• Use ropa repelente que contenga DEET, picaridina, IR3535 o aceite de eucalipto de limón.
• Use camisas de manga larga y pantalones largos, y opte por ropa de colores más claros.
• Cierre todas las puertas y ventanas sin mosquiteros para evitar que los mosquitos entren a su casa o espacio; repare los mosquiteros rotos o dañados.

In December 2023, the Third board of directors modified its fruit tree policy to allow residents to retain existing fruit trees when they purchase a home, as long as they maintain them. However, per Resolution 03-23-146, Fruit Tree and Vegetables Policy, planting of new fruit trees or vegetables is still prohibited in common-use areas.

Critical Points of the Policy:

• Prohibition: No new fruit trees may be planted.
• Mantenimiento: Existing fruit trees must be maintained by the member.
• Responsibility transfer: During resale, new members can accept the responsibility of maintaining existing fruit trees; otherwise, the fruit trees will be removed at no cost to the members.
• Health and safety: Unmaintained fruit trees or recently planted fruit trees will be removed by the mutual after notice, at no cost to the member.

Reasons Behind the Policy

Fruit trees and vegetables attract rodents, such as rats and mice, which are drawn to the fruit and can cause various issues in residential areas. By not planting fruit trees and maintaining existing ones, we can significantly reduce the presence of these pests and ensure a cleaner, safer environment for everyone.

This policy is designed to help manage and reduce rodent activity and maintain the health and safety of the community. Resident cooperation is crucial in our commitment to ensuring a safe and secure environment for all residents.

‘Tis the season—for political campaigning, that is. Below are the dos and don’ts of showing candidate support via posting political signs or symbols. 

Residents may display signs in their yards, in windows, on doors and on the sides of their homes. Signs may also be displayed on the inside of their unit windows and on balconies. However, they cannot put them on exterior windows, doors or walls since those are common areas.

Below are the specifics for Third and United mutuals. 

Tercera Mutua

According to Resolution 03-12-108, adopted in 2012, the Third board of directors prohibits the placement of political signage in/on Third Mutual common areas.

Mutual unida

According to Resolution 01-08-141, adopted in 2008, no member, occupant, co-occupant, lessee or guest (or any person for whom said member, occupant, co-occupant, lessee or guest is responsible) shall place, post or display, or allow to be placed, posted or displayed, any sign, poster, flag, banner or symbol of a political nature, on any property owned by the corporation, except within the specific unit to which said person is entitled to exclusive possession, except as authorized under applicable law.

Civil Code §4710

• Members can place a candidate flag on their balcony and block wall. The political statement flags cannot incite violence or be offensive/vulgar, and must be no larger than 15 square feet, or approximately 3-by-5 feet. This size restriction applies to all flags. 
• Governing documents may not prohibit posting or displaying of noncommercial signs, posters, flags or banners on or in a member’s separate interest, except as required for the protection of public health or safety or if the posting or display would violate a local, state, or federal law.
• A noncommercial sign, poster, flag or banner may be made of paper, cardboard, cloth, plastic or fabric, and may be posted or displayed from the yard, window, door, balcony or outside wall of the separate interest, but may not be made of lights, roofing, siding, paving materials, flora or balloons, or any other similar building, landscaping or decorative component, or include the painting of architectural surfaces..
