Default Red Bug on Lilies Eating Leaves?

I live in southern Ontario and I have the same problem "the guy that lives
behind me with the 3ft grass and weeds contributing to a huge mosquito
infestation. (West Nile and all).
It burns my butt every time I am weeding near the back fence and see all the
"crap" coming through not to mention all the insect repellant I have to
wear.

All it takes is one guy in the neighborhood to bring the insects into
play. Heck, I'm constantly battling weeds thanks to the people behind
me.

My backyard garden runs about 40 feet by 10 feet, along the back line
of the property. The people behind me have one about 1/2 the size, but
they pulled up their plants 2 yrs ago. Since then, their 20x5 garden
- a mere 1ft away on the other side of the fence - is a glorified
weed factory. A flowing sea of weeds, some 12 inches high.

sigh.
