Just a heads up, if anyone approaches you at your house to offer pine straw, it is a scam 99% of the time. They got one of my neighbors, almost got me, and they almost got another neighbor this week before I intervened.

They'll offer a 'good' rate, then the price doubles, quadruples, etc, because they will lie about how many bails they put down, and charge as much as the bail costs, or twice that, for 'install' costs.

Agreeing upon a max price ahead of time won't save you, they'll notoriously aggressive and really don't care about anything 'agreed' upon.

Best way to get them arrested is have a no soliciting sign, otherwise cops don't seem to do too much. It does seem like they have an investigation open on these people. However, try your best to protect your neighbors, especially old folks. My blood boils from these people because at the end of the day, the innocent person who does get scammed will likely become a different person after.
