Have ordered a motion detected sprinkler system which may help. Our present sprinkler system does not help so something more powerful may work. Am putting up a trail cam to verify when and how many come. Will let everyone know if this works.

I'm assuming you're the same person posting with two different accounts - if I'm not, then sorry for the confusion.

In your previous post you said you've already been working with a company for the past few months to get rid of grubs and mole crickets. In your newest post you say you will be getting someone out NEXT (meaning, you haven't done this yet, it's a next step).

What happened with the company who's been doing it for the past few months?
