The chemical companies just love the way Yardeners deal with pest insect and disease problems in the yard. Our basic modus operandi is to take care of the general maintenance of the yard and simply wait until an insect or disease problem shows up. Here's the good part. We identify the insect or disease, buy some chemical pesticide, apply it according to the label, and then sit back and wait until another problem comes along. The same problem usually returns next year, so then we go out and buy even more insecticide. We come back year after year; think grubs. . . .
