The Scotts Company, the world's leading producer and marketer for do-it-yourself lawn and garden care, sponsored the first annual online "Most Hated Insect" survey as a way to draw attention to the variety of insects that can cause severe damage to lawns during the summer months. Homeowners, horticulturists and insect haters alike were among those who logged onto the Scotts site and cast their votes. The Scotts website features a number of methods for combating those pesky summer critters including Scotts Turf Builder(R) with Insect Control.
