    I use mosquito dunks. They work really well unless you get a lot of high winds bringing in new bugs. They work because the dunk is a dry bacteria that, when wet, feed on mosquito larvae. So, since mosquitoes don't usually travel very far (I think I read 100 meters on average) you kill the next generation and that really reduces the nuisance. Better to use a black or red bucket, they like dark colors. I use black. Fill em 1/3 full and toss in a dunk. Then set the bucket in a shady area where mosquitoes hang out in the daytime. I usually toss a few handfuls of dry grass clippings in there, something about that helps attract them. They like to lay their eggs in the stagnant water, so I use this all summer and just try to keep the water at a relatively stable level. As far as I can tell, when they work best, they stink from the stagnant water. I have about 1000sq feet of back yard and I have 3 buckets placed around in shady corners. They say to replace the dunks every 60 days or so, but I go by when I stop seeing the dunk floating on top, and that can be as fast at 3 weeks in the heat. Love the channel!

    2:51 the beautiful noise of hoa maintained lawns. Stihl br600 and br800s are powerful.
  • @Miiiiiikeyy
    That poor zoysia has been through the ringer this year. Then rewatching you take the St Aug is like watching Bizzaro Al! 😂 what alternate world is that patch of grass in?! 😂😂

    “My hose is really bad off here” was my nickname in college.

    Just FWIW: I have a Mammotion Luba 2 3000H cutting my St Augustine at 4" in the Daytona Beach area, and it has no problem; never stuck. The Luba 2 is 4WD.
  • @gramps5157
    Zoysia thrives in the warm weather and it really thrives when you water it.
  • @ArtieMcYardie
    Yeah, ego lawn equipment has been great for me. And Ryobi for my edger needs. Never looked back to gas. Please look into Oasa robot mower when you have a chance. It’s a reel, self sharpening, and up to 4”. So it should work on our St Augustine Grass!! Would love your support on it and see if we can get our hands on it testing it out.

    Man, I mowed a clients yard today. She has Palisade Zoysia and it was a pain in the ass to mow. I feel for your disgruntled emotions and choice of language, I was the same.
  • Hey Hane, Pete from GCI Turf has addressed the excess hose issue on his Spray Buddy. If your yard size does not require the amount of hose it comes with then cut off some of the excess. It was perfectly rolled on when assembled and most people don't get it rolled back up as perfect. Cut some off. 👍

    Could really use your advice. I had a beautiful Kentucky blue front lawn here in Eastern WA. Thinking I was adding value, I used Prodiamine in early spring with a backpack sprayer following exact directions. Well, over time, large areas of my lawn turned brown and died. Dead Dead died. I plan on getting new topsoil and redoing all the areas and seeding. Do I have to worry about the prodiamine still in the ground ? it will be a full 5 months later or do I have to somehow neutralize ? Thank you in advance...I am besides myself

    13:49 stuff is liquid gold! I threw down with some air8 and that and my prayin brought back my TTTF came back like it's mid fall ❤
  • Thanks for the update and keep us posted on the robot mower. Press on in the good work sir 👍💪
  • @Boodieman72
    Might want check out the LUBA 2, it's AWD. In your case, maybe the 2H, the high cut version.
  • @markbratt6058
    Allyn, I'm glad to see I"m not the only one that loses it when working in the lawn. I"m going to check out those boots because I want something that I can wear when I'm spraying the lawn. I bought some rubber boots that slip over your shoes, but they aren't the most convenient to work with. I usually wear a pair of 5.11 boots but don't want to get them stained from the sprays.

    6:13 I scalped mines LCN too. CB STA 1.5inches. Too dressed. Three down de thatch and fertilizing the cb with flash ship. Will grow it back to get it to two inches.
