The sprays really kill them. The fireflies will not cross into my neighbors’ lawns, where they treat their grass.
Your neighbor does what with their grass?
Spray shit on it to kill the dandelions.
When you say shit, do you mean actual shit or herbicides? One of those would be absolutely disgusting, and the other doesn't kill dandelions, I think.
You know, I haven’t actually asked them what it is they spray. All I know is almost everyone in my neighborhood does it, then waters their lawn constantly and mows short twice per week. And like 1/3 of them burn their leaves every fall and triggers the hell out of my asthma and allergies.
Which is silly because I live in the Midwest: grass doesn’t need any help to grow here. I mow a little longer every week or two in the spring and every 2-3 weeks in the summer and my lawn looks lush with 1/3 of the effort and not pouring a bunch of crap on it. And my trimmings decay just fine without sending a plume of smoke to my neighbors.
