Does the landlord just put the Animal B Gon around his garden or on the whole yard?
I think landlord is putting Ortho in the entire yard. I'll have to watch to be sure. He must have bought a case. A couple days ago there were multiple granule containers sitting in different areas.

The base of the front yard tree looked like it had soap suds on it when it rained so I think he put it there too.

I also noticed that other people on our block recently fertilized or used pesticides in their lawns. No wonder the squirrels were in the street. I wish I had a good way of keeping them off the road. (Since they are mainly out near dawn and dusk, I've been on the lookout then so I can get them to move off the road, one by one, if they seem to be staying in the road.)
