The japanese beetles destroyed a lot of our garden and lawn last year,

chickweed, not to mention moles.

Hubby is insisting on putting diazinon on the grass. The bag says
apply in 'late spring' --is it time?

I'm worried about my dogs... how long do I have to keep them off the
grass?

DO NOT DO IT!!!!! I'm not an eco freak, but diazanon is one of those
chemicals that I will not use, expecially in a large area like a lawn.


It is strong stuff. I bought a bag of it but transfer to the original
sprinkle can I bought many years ago. I selectively use it to keep the
wood ants under control. That stuff gives my tongue a tingling sensation
if I stay around it too long. I try to sprinkle at the end of the day
and get out of the yard.
