he US is a pesticide culture. While we ponder songbirds I think we have to consider the chemicals we knowingly put in our front yards.
We know pesticides are bad for pets and people. It says so right on the little yellow sign Scott's sticks in the lawn after a visit. In my opinion, pesticide use should be weighed against potential benefits. When the benefits are purely cosmetic or convenience it's much more difficult to justify the health risks. Many towns in Canada have outlawed lawn pesticide use in any form. What's taking the US so long?
