Stuff you find on the lawn when mowing

Just dish soap and water? I've never heard of that. I'll have to give it a try!

Yes, I mix between 1/3 to 1/2 a bottle of dish soap to a quart of water. My wife gets on to me when I sneak out with her dish soap bottle when I find a new nest around the shop or the kids play house outside. She gets ready to wash dishes and the soap is gone lol. If you don't want to put that much in a sprayer get a spritzer bottle and put 1/4 bottle of soap in it and fill it the rest of the way with water.

As I said, never tried it on bees but it kills the mess out of wasps. I would think it would work on bees, but we don't have a bee problem where I live. We have wasp nests everywhere though.

I use dish soap and water to kill red wasps. It drops them instantly. Never tried it on carpenter bees but it kills wasps very well.

I will give it a try and see if it works

It seems I find everything BUT what has fallen off of my mower.

Three years ago I lost a critical part off of my Snapper Commercial, and even with a metal detector, no joy finding it.

Have lost some wingnuts over the years from Lawnboys. No luck finding them either.

I lost a spray tip from the boom mounted on the back of my mower a couple of months ago and had to wait till the grass started to die in the area it fell off before I could locate it. I walked for 30 minutes looking for it the day it came off with no luck. The chemical left in the boom made a figure 8 pattern in my lawn. I hung it on a rod I was using to brace a small tree while turning lol. Grass has only recently recovered.
