Exclamation Stop With the Insecticides!

Go buy a Scott's spreader and do it yourself. First of all, then you have no one to blame if you don't like the results! There is nothing easier and the price is right. Use Scott's brand name items or Lesco depending upon your need.

If you don't have a bug problem, inside or out, PLEASE don't use a pest control company as part of a contract. Your neighbors and those companies will put the fear of God in you but don't listen. If you should have a bug issue, treat it when it appears but not ongoingly. Those chemicals do NOT dissipate and remain in your house and the ground FOREVER.

Please stop poisoning the environment!

Thanks for all the responses to my questions. If we were full time, this would definitely be a job I would do myself, but that isn’t a viable option for us snowflakes. I’m getting evaluations/estimates from both Dean’s and Fertigator and plan to hire the one that leaves me with the best impression.

There's more to choosing a fertilizer service. My next door neighbor has thick green grass ... while other neighbors have flat, yellow grass even though they've using the same fertilizer service and yard care for 3-years.
