The house that we bought here already had 2 lilac bushes in the yard and they bloom every year.I trim the bloom off every year. I started a new one from a runner, so I'll see what happens this year. The only thing I find is they don't stay in bloom for long.

Get rid of what ever is attracting them. Spray the bushes down with soapy water once or twice a week for several months. Also I have used outdoor bug foggers with great results to get rid of the adults. Works real good on white flys as well. Might need a few treatments though to knock them back. Oh and be prepared for lots of dead flys everywhere.
And TOH does not allow "living fences" meaning you cant line up bushes like a fence. They can plant a bush with see through spaces four feet or less. You see folks lining up six foot tall fences as bushes as that is ilegal. I had a neighbor do this to me years ago and there was a school bus stop behind me and worried I would kill a kid.
Does anyone know of any beaver resistant trees and plants. We have a creek that borders our property in TN and the beavers are a problem.
I have a small concrete 3 step front stoop that is centered and bushes to the right 16' and left 12' that's closed in like a garden with some ugly blocks. Im looking to remove the blocks / bushes and build a pressure treated deck to the right and left of the stoop so that I can set up a couple of chairs.
It is partly cultural. We used to have lots and lots of parents sending their kids up nto our front yard to pee on the house behind the bushes. It smelled bad. Sometimes I would yell at them, but a week later they would be back pointing their kid toward our bushes. Finally I just added sprinklers behind the bushes.
Round up is a systemic that is absorbed by the green parts of plants, the leaves and stems. If your husband accidently got spray on the lilac, you would begin to see damage within 7 to 10 days.
Location: Somewhere on the Moon. I remember when the Grand Concourse was getting a much needed upgrade with new lights, rebuilding of the sidewalks that separate the central part with the marginals, new trees, etc. I remember seeing the first upgraded part of the avenue near its most southern part and it was beautiful, clean, orderly.
I just spent 2 hours doing yard work, part of that pulling out the dead bushes. Now my dilemma: replace the bushes or just lay down sod and call it a day. The bushes were at the edge of the backyard flower bed, so just making the bed smaller would be easy. I did like how the bushes attracted butterflies. Nothing else planted back there flowers.
