My landlord had a guy come over and scrape the paint off the front of our second story. He used a tarp, but somehow managed to get the scrapings ALL OVER the front yard and flower beds. It has rained multiple times, but the chips remain. How do I get rid of them, pick up each piece? There're hundreds! Thanks!

I have used a shop vac before to suck'em up.

I used my vacuum hose attachment to clean up paint chips in the yard before. Vacuuming is so much easier the hand picking. If your vac doesn't have a hose attachment then you can rent a shop vac. If you do have a hose then don't forget to get a large piece of cardboard or something to set your vac on while you suck up the paint chips with the hose.

It sounds strange but a shop vac is the best way.

For your flower beds, try using a leaf blower and blow them into one area where you can sweep or rake them up. If they are in your grass, you can rake them up. If you have a lawnmower that collects the grass clippings, you can just run over them with your lawnmower and let it do the work!
