By National advertising MW - too many people are impressed by glossy presentation. Maybe they should look up part of the franchise blurb...........'No experience necessary'......before picking up the phone!
At this time of year I cant imagine anything they can spray can have any effect - if its raining it washes out and fertilizer should have been done by now.....
It is possible they were spraying Carbendazim for the control of worms.
Whilst it's not advisable to spray during rain. it's a common practice to spray when it's wet and with rain due because Carbendazim needs a high water volume application to be efficient. Rain helps the operator to achieve required results without having to lug heavy knapsack sprayers full of water around.

Although we moan and criticize them,I reckon for the price, they do a reasonable service which is ideal for people that require basic lawn maintenance without wanting a regular gardener.The majority of homeowners don't own a decent knapsack sprayer or fertilizer spreader...... I've seen so many damaged lawns with hand-spread fertilizer or weedkiller applied with a watering can ...... GT will fertilize/weedkill a lawn for virtually the same price that the homeowner would have paid for the materials from the local DIY store.... No I don't work for GT lol!!
Funny I was on the phone today ordering products for my winter lawn feeds.

Hands up all those who would apply a lumbricide in any domestic setting? I for one would decline any customer who requested it.

Imoral in my opinion - without worms were all dead, that and I can hardly think of many domestic customers who would pay £30-60 yo kill worms in their lawn twice a year!
