A LANDSCAPER destroyed his neighbor’s lawn after they hired his rival, but they ended up getting the last laugh.

In 2008, Mitchell Igelko began his four-year terror streak against his neighbors who didn’t use his lawn services.

The Miami resident allegedly put poisonous chemicals in his neighbor’s lawn, slashed tires, and even fire-bombed a boat.

Dr. Bob DerHagopian first realized he was getting harassed after he hired a landscaping service, that just happened to rival Igelko.

He noticed the vandalization that had been happening to him and his neighbors and suspected foul play from Igelko.

“He tries to intimidate you to either respect him and if you don’t respect him,” Dr DerHagopian told the Daily Mail. “He’ll do damage to you.”

To put a stop to the madness, multiple neighbors set up CCTV cameras around their homes to catch the culprit.

“I don’t think any neighborhood should have to live with this type of fear and anxiety.”

The security cameras caught Igelko red-handed, spraying poisonous chemicals on another homeowner’s lawn.

“He is in his work truck, driving with the window cracked two to three inches,” recalled Francisco Torres, another neighbor of Igelko.

“I see a red nozzle. I see a lot of jet streams of toxic liquid getting into my grass. I double-checked with my camera and I got the proof right there.”

Prior to this incident, he was also filmed tossing bags of nails into people’s lawns, as well as throwing them at people’s trucks or driveways.

Neighbors have their suspicions that he is behind many of the vandalism in the area, including the incident where several cars were drenched in flammable liquid.

“His house was the only one untouched,” remembered Kelly DerHagopian. “It makes us curious.”

In 2012. Igelko was arrested on criminal mischief charges, thanks to all the evidence his neighbors had against him.

“He threatened to kill me many times,” Torres, told local CBS affiliate WFOR-TV. “I was lucky that in one day I caught him, you know, with a video recorder.”

In 2013, the Miami New Times reported that Igelko had been given five years probation for killing his neighbors’ lawns and harassment.

CBS News quoted Igelko’s attorney, Eric Padron, as saying: “He [Igelko] pled ‘no contest’ which means he’s not admitting to the guilt, but he is accepting the court’s punishment.”

He added that his client suffered from mental illness.

Speaking at the time after sentencing, Igelko told CBS News: “I’m very happy that it is all over and that I can move on with my life.”

He has since moved away from the neighborhood and was ordered to not have any contact with any of his former neighbors or face prison time.
