There are some municipalities in the Toronto area where we are not allowed to spray chemicals on the lawns. Some lawn-care companies have been hit pretty hard because of it. Apparently one of the main reasons is that the poisons are going into the water system with run-off.Originally Posted by jcat
I got this from the horse's mouth, meaning an exterminator, when I asked him about the little flags he was putting up on a neighbor's lawn last summer after spraying for ticks. He said that he wouldn't treat his own yard because of his young children and pets.
