    Lucky you! These things ought to be banned globally, considering the damage they do to wildlife.

    I think its about time and am glad they voted yes; I've never used any pesticides in any of my gardens (or fertilizers for that matter) - and people are always asking me what I do to keep my yard looking so nice. I always tell them the best way to control insects is by natural means......and this works for controlling chafer damage as well.
