No, today I'm going to discuss something even colder...senseless damage to a neighbour's property.
An explanation is in order. This week we went to perform an application on two customers who live side by side. When we arrived we were informed by one homeowner, immediately following our last application of Fiesta weed control, someone wrote on both our "Notice" signs with a magic marker, in large block letters "#1 BEE AND BIRD KILLER." This person also sprayed Round-up around one customer's front yard tree and garden burning the grass in the process (see picture for reference).
Now, there's a lot to unpack there, so let's break it down.
Fiesta is iron-based weed control, it doesn't kill anything - despite the label touting it as "Lawn Weed Killer" - so killing birds and bees would only occur if you used the empty Fiesta jug to swat those creatures from the air and then squish them beneath your foot. And if that were the case, I would hardly consider it as the number one choice in bird and bee extermination.
Now, if I somehow sprayed Diazanon or DDT, then our little lawn vigilante has a right to express his ire, but those products were outlawed decades ago.
This is not the first time I have run across an extreme left-wing nut sack, but if you are that sensitive to environmental issues you're going to use Round-up as your exclamation point like pouring blood over someone wearing a fur coat. ROUND-UP...really? Glyphosate is a chemical that kills everything on a lawn and it is brought to you by the good folks at Monsanto. If you don't know that company's reputation, maybe you should Google it, Mr. Enviornmentalist.
It's hypocrisy, plain and simple.
The real problem as I see it is, the former Liberal Government who did such a fantastic job brainwashing the sheeple, and incidents like this happen more frequently than you might think.
I wonder how many of these Jizz-wads are even aware 85% of all pesticides are still being used -despite the bylaw - by farmers, sod growers, foresty, the golf industry, and yes, government properties like Parliament Hill and Queen's Park. (I conveniently left out the homeowners who purchase banned substances from the States or other Provinces.) If that doesn't piss you off maybe it should, you righteous dick.
Personally, I believe the person who did this has mental issues and needs to seek help for his miss-placed aggression. In the interim, I advised our customer to buy a surveillance system to catch this piece on anal discharge in the act and press charges as should all who commit vandalism like this. At the very least, they should have a "Notice" sign placed on their lawn to inform the public of the "#1 ASSHOLE IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD."
Maybe, to some, that seems a little cold, but it is Junuary after all.
