    Grackle Season

    I tried everything, scare tape, owls, hawks, suspended 30’ high owl sockette. Didnt do a darn thing. It only slowed down from 40 droppings per day to 30…..I was sickened and beside myself literally in frustrated tears on a daily basis. Disgusting. Seriously I’m sad but resolved to say, the only...

    Grackle Season

    Lol, I vote dynamite! I thought I was losing my mind until I saw all these threads. Same problem for us, we have evergreen trees in the neighbors yards around our house, 30’-40’ tall. We couldn’t reach the nests without a professional climber, plus they are in neighboring yards not ours. We...

    Teeny tiny red almost spider like bugs???

    🤮🤬 Thanks. After I posted I found some pics to confirm on google. But no real solution other than don't plant near pool. Not an option for anyone with trees or grass in yard! So do you just spray the insecticide on outer edge of concrete Patio and walkway to stem their migration.

    **Need Help Matching Bluestone coping!**

    Wow, your home, pool yard and colors are beautiful! I wish we could use Bluestone or another natural stone for pavers for then there would not be an issue, nature knows how to blend its colors. For cost restriction we are in the realm of concrete pavers. I agree with your advice, spent hours at...
