I am a keen gardner, and have been changing the landscaping since we arrived. Having come here from VA, I was ignorant of the damage these grubs cause in FL, and yes, I saw the grubs waaay back when in May. Additionally, I recently uncovered a previously covered and hidden sprinkler head, when I removed a layer of sod adjacent to the house The sod owner was not paying attention when I stated what I'd discovered, and insteat argued that I had caused the lawn to die by covering up the sprinkler head. I don't know if he ever did realize that I UNCOVERED the sprinkler, not covered it. So, it was not the most gracious of meetings, but I do appreciate the end result. It goes without saying that our entire street's sod is in the same condition as ours.......

What street is that, and are any of the neighbors being given the lawn treatment?
