[quote=mdlawnland][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My point exactly! you think I said organic, I didn't. And you assume I mix with other toxic chemicals, and I don't! I use only what's needed to treat a specific problem. And I do it according to the label, rules and regulations set buy Maryland Department of Agriculture and UMD Extension Services. I train yearly as required and then some.

You are so quick to cover yourself in chemicals to repel mosquitoes, why are you so against spraying outdoors and treating the cause?

People are so quick to cover themselves in chemicals, cover their pets in chemicals or ingest them in pill form. They also have no issue with Terminix or Orkin coming monthly to spray every inch of the inside of their homes. That just puts pesticides IN you home, on every surface you and you family touch and in the air you breathe. That's why I treat OUTSIDE before spiders or ants get in. Why expose your family more than needed.

Point is, malaria, dengue fever, west Nile, lyme are ALL in MAD and spreading. These need to be handled and prevented. Having your yard treated is MAJORLY less threating to you and your family than all the diseases carried by mosquitoes and ticks.

Again...just educate yourself, learn the FACTS. Read labels to see what EXACTLY your are spraying on yourself and your pets. Also for you organic fruit an vegetable lover...pesticides ARE used in organic production and you handle them every day. Again a FACT.... just educate yourself. I wont even go into the Monsanto Corn you eat...but info is easily found online and YES you eat it...no question its in everything!  I am NOT preaching, just want people to educate themselves and use licensed trained professional ONLY! We atay up to date on regulations, usage and procedures.

Look, you're just wrong. I never said mosquito-borne illnesses aren't a thing. I never used the word "organic" in my comment. I don't use pesticides in my yard OR my home. I certainly don't have my house treated by Terminix or Orkin. But do you honestly think it's better to kill spiders and ants outside, which is where they belong, than to clean them up or prevent them inside the home?

I am very well-educated on the subject. I write about it for a living, and not for some weird, unscientific website full of conspiracy theorists. There is ample proof that the overuse of pesticides and herbicides has done terrible things to our environment. I understand that you apparently make a living off of convincing people that spraying their yards with stuff that indiscriminately kills insects (and animals further up the food chain) is just fine. But you can't expect to put that info out there on a public site and expect no push-back.  [/quote]

Read my posts..ive said the new products are safer, more target specific.  AND I ONLY use what's needed to treat after IPM option have failed. Didn't say YOU in particular had your home treated, I said PEOPLE do. Please don't put words in m mouth.

I have (and still do) work with MD Dept of AG, UMD Extension and various Veterinarians to treat problems though IPM first, educate client son what causing issues, then I will treat if all else fails, but only minimal as needed.[/quote]
