I need ideas, suggestions or possible solutions. Keep in mind we have 3 dogs and a cat that wander around the yard at any given time. So little or no harmful chemicals if possible.
Goggling for me brought up how to get rid of white flies on plants such as tomatoes, melon plants or houseplants.

Just to throw in my two cents.... down south we cut the grass and let the blades decay in place. The bugs don't stay. Something about the decay process makes them go to everyone else's lawn is what the bug man told me. No chemicals, no bags of grass to deal with. Hope that works in your part of the world, too.
