Help!! I can't sit on my porch without being eaten alive. What kind of treatment can I put on my grass to help keep the bugs and worms from attacking me. Please don't say contact the pest control people. They already spray once a month. But, they usually don't spray the yard. So they say. The man acted as if I were nuts when I asked him to spray the yard. He sprayed 2 ft. from the porch. But, after about 2 days the bugs swarm me especially, during the evening.

Lawn control I have a company called Tru Green Chem Lawn they spray the grass to kill weeds and then in the fall they spray for bugs and worms that will kill the grass.
take a look at the site and maybe you can find a link for a company in your location

Worms ar good for your soil. The bugs that eat you are mosquitos and they don't come from your grass, they breed in water puddles.
To enjoy the porch on summer evenings, call a carpenter not a lawn or pest care person. Have the carpenter install screens all around the porch and a screen door to keep the bugs out.
Or use insect repellant.

Depending on where you live there may be nothing you can do to decrease the number of swarmers. If you have a problem with mosquitoes then you should keep all slow moving or stagnant water away from your house as this is their breeding ground.
If you live in a dry part of the country you might want to think about getting a more water efficient lawn or lawn alternative (or water less regularly) since most gnats and other biting bugs are drawn in by moisture and gases rising off your grass.
Worms help aerate and stir up nitrogen in your soil so you'll want to keep them around.

Depending on the certain bugs and where you live I would spray some kind of pesticide. You could contact your Natural Resource Conservation Service Field Office (should be in the phone book) and ask them any questions of that sort. Just remember if you spray something on your own without asking don't go too close to tree roots if you're wanting them to live, depending on what you're going to use. You can always get technical service with NRCS. Hope everything works out for you. Good Luck!

Home stores sell bug killers for lawns. You will need to burn citronella or get a bug zapper to take care of skeeters and other flying insects that attack. You should also sit outside without a light on as this attracts bugs also. This also includes lights off in the windows your sitting near as bugs are attracted to any light.

Treating a backyard for grubs 'commonly' means that the property proprietor is making an attempt to do away with MOLES. if it extremely is so, then I propose a product noted as Mole Patrol. After attempting each and every little thing on and rancid the industry, we got here to locate that mole patrol is the answer. it works great.... and likely we nonetheless have grubs, yet they do no harm in any respect to our backyard and backyard. Plus we've a 'poultry and butterfly backyard' and using insecticides isn't solid for the organic and organic and organic approaches. i'm hoping I helped.
