Lawn Insect Pests - Gardening Solutions - University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Fire Ants and Lovebugs and others are seasonal, but some are year around. Most of us are grateful for pesticides. Even tiny ants rise out of the bath drain at times. And Palm Trees and Fruit trees and feeding birds attract Rattus Rattus.

One of the reasons pesticides and insecticides are needed here in our lawns.

This has been a long thread and I have enjoyed reading the variety of reply’s. The best thing I got from it has been that we can and should respect all ideas. Thanks to the OP for a great discussion topic.

Just for information.
Ants really hate vinegar, and you can make a cheap, easy pesticide just using vinegar and water. Mix a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray it directly onto the ants to kill them, then wipe up the ants using a damp paper towel and discard them. |

If I were allowed to rock out my front and back lawns, I would save $1,200 a year for mowing, fertilizing, pesticiding services...not to say how much watering money I would save, too.

I would get rid of my lawn in a heart beat. We have Souza and we’re the first block to get it in 2005. I have had all the big name lawn people and never could get it right with every excuse in the world. Not enough water, too much water, bugs, etc. Have tru green now who do a descent job and cheaper than most
