We've always tried to fix things ourselves and wonder if you have advice. Help! A few particulars:

1. We have a very thick coating of bark surrounding the bushes around front, back, sides of our house. Someone told us this is Palmeto heaven. Should we get rid of the bark?

2. If you had a bug company come in, where do they spray?

Thanks a ton!, Carol

Call Deans or Massey. Here in the semi tropics it is important to have bug protection.
