Those "lawn guys"

Even if you have a "lawn guy" mow, don't let them spray. For some reason they seem to all have been indoctrinated into the world of 'spray it if it moves'. There's a reason pesticides and herbicides are called "economic poisons" -- because they kill things including higher life forms that you may not want killed or injured (lady bugs which eat aphids, birds, pets, and children).

And don't let them touch a crape myrtle. For some reason, every "lawn guy" in the state is under the impression that crepe myrtles need to be pruned to the trunk every winter. The hard core gardeners in my family call it "crepe murder."
Soapy water is a very good, harmless pesticide.
