One of the best videos with suggestions to eliminate or to control those bugs! I saw several video with 100k views etc were next to useless. They talk BS for 30 minutes and don’t tell exactly how to treat these bugs. I found your video entertaining and very useful. Thanks a lot for sharing! God bless.

[@theyardfreako]

Thank you for watching. Means a lot

[@profmarisalester1446]

How long does it need to sit before rain or additional water? What do the generic beer and Pepsi do?

[@kathleengordon382]

Ammonia?

[@daytonaflyer]

"You need a can of Coke"...picks up a can of Pepsi. 😂

[@theyardfreako]

Obviously you’re not from Texas

[@howardlee7216]

Do you know of this will work for Grubs or slow them down

[@richardmarlais6928]

It is mid September in coastal ca. . l just applied my first treatment. How often should I retreat? Do I retreat through net summer?

[@theyardfreako]

Every three to four weeks depending on grub reaction

[@katthur1315]

Does it have to be sugared coke? Or can I use coke zero? Stuff I have on hand? Thanks, great information!

[@theyardfreako]

Use an actual sugar beverage. The zero stuff doesn’t work as well

[@dustindahlinger9446]

So after almost 2 months any updates on how well it worked?

[@theyardfreako]

Seems to be working. I’ve applied three applications in total. The results will manifest in a month, but I will say my lawn isn’t showing nearly the same amount of stress as last year. Anecdotal sure, but I’m confident so far

[@RUKKRUKK]

How many sq ft of lawn does that one 32oz sprayer cover?

[@theyardfreako]

Around 500

[@amills3271]

HOT TIP Add a bit of GARLIC too. Leave 4 minced cloves in olive oil(1 cup) overnight than filter into tonic!!!😀😀 Bugs begone!!!!

[@kristenr1831]

I applied my first treatment. How soon can you reapply?

[@theyardfreako]

Every two weeks

[@shannont.7321]

We live in SW where it's really got & dry. Is there a watering tehimen u recommend w/ this method? Also, is it better to apply tonic prior to or after watering?

[@howardlee7216]

Hello, do you know if this is safe for dogs.

[@theyardfreako]

About as safe as can be!

[@JESUS-js9oe]

Beautiful lawn garlic cloves in a gallon of water then use the concentrated in 3 gallons of cold water and dump it into the affected area will kill all bugs, I guess you can use it with your lawn watering mirecle gro

[@EuroYardService]

I bet that lawn tonic kills more than just sod web worms 😝

[@jesslong75]

Does it kill the grass?

[@theyardfreako]

Not at all

[@jesslong75]

@@theyardfreako ty for this, they are flying around right now in a large portion of the yard

[@jesslong75]

Just did an application yesterday and didn't see them today! So far so good! Will reapply in a couple of weeks. Great. Non toxic option. I told my husband I didn't see them today and he said it's because they were drunk😂

[@2packs4sure]

So you're sure the mouthwash does the deed and not the soap?

[@jshishe]

Soap makes water wetter. Which in turn increases coverage through better penetration.

[@1cleandude]

Bro that’s Pepsi not Coke!

[@theyardfreako]

I’m from Texas. Anything that’s sugary, carbonated, and comes in a can is called coke.
