This would reduce improper pesticide use greatly. The people who know pesticides (University of Guelph) say they are safe if used properly. Let's trust them (we have to believe someone) and not the fanatics who use junk science in thier arguement against good products.

I was waiting for someone to say that.<br/><br/>In fact, a couple of years ago I contacted a professor at Guelph University who said that this is all bunk. Pesticides are safe when applied according to directions. The problem is that some people aren't careful with the quantities.<br/><br/>I think it should be left up to accredited professionals. Joe Blow without any training shouldn't be allowed to use pesticides, IMHO, but I do believe that lawn care companies should be allowed to do so, provided they have proper training and testing, etc. Thank you, Greg.
