Author Message   Jak3  My Weather Posted on Monday, April 21, 2008 - 07:03 pm EST :    are showing up in my lawn. I find a few every time I shovel-edge my front garden. I think the problem is getting worse now - I found 8 grubs in two days while cutting the gardens back by only 1 inch! We have a no-pesticide law here so stuff like Grub Out is Out. Anybody know a less poisonous home remedy?

Or is there a law against them, too? LOL.

They are noisy but I have 30 acres in the woods so no problem there.....my problem is that there are no sources to buy this bird in Canada......anyone know? Lucky US customers can get them easily.
