yeah but what im saying is you guys have a good idea..natural is good but for an immediate response to a serious problem pull out the heavy artillery. when i first moved into my home 3 years ago i had a real bad beatle problem..i had to cut down a few tree and poision like you wouldnt believe.soon after i appled the poison grubs rose to the surface and covered the ground..i figured i had em bad but not that bad.it was like a horror movie....i have a well so i drank bottled water for a month to be on the safe side.i dont think the poison affected anything but the grubs truthfully because there were so many birds eating the grubs and i never saw one dead bird..now i dont have a beatle problem..i had to do something right then and there.thats what i needed instant gratification.if had waited i would have no trees and probably no grass either. if the natural predators are willing to step up then i let them handle their business like with the wolf spiders.they actually ate the natural predators that i introduced to handle the problem along with the pest i was trying to kill.
