It's also the attitudes of people that need to be changed & re-educated. Just an example.... when we bought this house & moved in, between what they had left inside the house & what they left in the shed & what they left in the garage.... there was a pick up truck load of poison of varying kinds. From Raid for home insects (at least 12 cans ) to gallon jugs of poison for this plant "pest" & poison for that plant "pest", herbicides, fungicides & the list goes on & on. Then you have to add in the "fertilizers" they left; almost every one had either a fungicide or pesticide combo in the fertilizer. There were only 2 bags not containing anything but fertilizer. Oddly enough, 1 was Milorganite which I kept.

I had a hard time not freaking out about how toxic this house & property must be!!!!!!

My point is that the majority of people do not even think about what they're using as poison anymore. It's all become, "Oh, but that's okay. It won't harm humans." "I saw a bug, quick, go get the bug spray!"

I see a roach, I grab the flyswatter or if wasps build a nest in my cars crevices, I spray with alcohol.
