comes in yellow truck with big bee on it. bug guy painted all over it. maybe not a bee. ? g

pulls out a long hose, has a motor on truck that provides pressure and this guy sprays the grass, bushes, trees, all around the house and up and down the siding. i think he does it three times during the summer, and if bugs are coming in with the dogs , he comes back and sprays for free. i think they keep the dogs in for one day. I remember a few years i was working in my garage , filling lawn mower with gas or something and he was out there spraying . i had the door open and started to feel tightness of my chest. i closed the garage door, and went had a few glasses of water. Ever since i stay far away when he comes around. What amazes me aare these guys handle this stuff day and day out and never use a mask etc.

same with green garden guy he has come around , he gets eight applications of various insecticides and fertz. and then a raking and plug of grass and seeding. he told me the price, i figure this guys must really not put down much and go through the motions. they run on stand up machines with product front loaded. takes them maybe 15 minutes to do an acre. I look at his lawn and others in the neighborhood who love the guy.. mine looks better and i only buy a bag like scotts about four times a year and throw it down. rake once a year, borrow my neighbors and hook it up to rear of mower. and overseed and pray for rain. oh, also throw some lime pellets down once a year. it costs almost nothing getting stuff from sams club or homedepot or lowes on sales.
