Make sure you know the boundaries of the yards. I am really tired of companies coming into my yard and fertilizing when we do not believe in using fertilizer because of the damage to nature including the birds, bees, our own dogs, etc. I dealt with this problem last year with another company actually killing my newly planted natives and now it has already started with Eagle. The previous company ended reimbursing me for the dead plants (they did my whole yard). But who is going to reimburse our whole world after all the companies continue to fertilize so people can just have green yards????? What about the birds, bees, the health of our children????\r

Of those same 30 lawn pesticides, 17 are detected in groundwater, 23 have the ability to leach into drinking water sources, 24 are toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms vital to our ecosystem, 11 are toxic to bees, and 16 are toxic to birds.\r
