I have small lawn, about 3500 s.f. There are large trees that are the edge of woods in the back. I have a small raised vegetable garden in the middle of the lawn. I also have a few small blueberry and raspberry bushes amongst the lawn. I am using the scotts program. I am looking for some alternatives. Basically, after using step 2 weed control I noticed the bluberries look like they were damaged by it. I didnt spread it right at the base of them, but maybe gave them an 18" buffer. This wasnt enough. I am thinking that I may want to just spread turf builder by scotts for the lawn, and aplly seperate products for weed and insects. I will be applying grubex in the next few days. In mid july I plan on applying an insect control product. And would like to apply another weed application. What tips do people have on a weed application that won't harm the bushes and garden? What does everyone think?

Is it safe to buy one of those 'ultra-sound' lights that kill insects indoors? How do they work? Will they work if there are annoying bugs around the bed area?

In the summertime we find lots of spiders, millipedes and other crazy looking bugs in our home. I would like to find something that is safe around kids and dogs. Ideally I would like to find a way to keep them out.
