US Prohibitions Are Dismal Failures

–

A major study of America’s legislations has concluded that fanatжcal-prohibitions against conventional pest control products have become dismal failures.

In ALL cases, prohibitions have become dismal failures because of   ―   •   pesticide-free maintenance   •   integrated pest management   •   green alternative pesticides   •   manual weed picking   •   stunningly exorbitant costs   •   fears about litigation.

ALL jurisdictions desperately need conventional pest control products in order to economically and effectively control recurring invasive weeds and destructive insects.

See the remaining text below for examples of victories and failures.

Children Are NOT At Risk In America

–

Anti-pesticide prohibitions in US states are imposed under the pretext of protecting children, when, in fact, children are NOT at risk.

The ultimate goal of anti-pesticide activists is continuing to impose needless prohibition on grounds surrounding schools and day-care centers, and subsequently opening the door to gradual and eventual expansion to total prohibition.

Children across North America, even in those jurisdictions with NO pesticide bans, are all protected since these products are applied at very low doses and represent NO threat to children.

The safety assessments of pest control products by the US Environmental Protection Agency and Health Canada take into consideration children’s physiology, behaviours, and habits while playing on treated grass.

There are NO valid reports of problems with children, and there is NOT ONE known illness or death from the proper use of pest control products used in the urban landscape.

US Regulatory Affairs

–

In the United States, determining regulations for pest control product use is a responsibility shared at the state and national levels.

The US Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA ) regulates pest control products nationally under the authority of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, & Rodenticide Act ( FIFRA ) and other laws to register pest control products, educate applicators, monitor compliance, and investigate problems.

US EPA employs 1,600 expert-scientists such as chemists, engineers, toxicologists, and experts in many other fields of science.

US EPA conducts ecological risk assessments to determine what risks are posed by pest control products, and whether changes to the use or proposed use are necessary to protect the environment.

US EPA issues registration for a pest control product that ensures that use according to label directions will NOT cause unreasonable harmful effects on health or environment.

US EPA ensures that each registered pest control product continues to meet the highest standards of safety to protect human health and the environment.

US EPA has several programs to ensure the review of registered pest control products, including re-registration, tolerance re-assessment, registration review, and special review.

In America, US EPA has the essential expertise on pest control products.

–

America’s Pre-Emption Laws

–

Under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, & Rodenticide Act ( FIFRA ), states are allowed to develop their own regulations that are more comprehensive and stringent than federal regulations.

State regulatory offices typically license Professional Lawn Care companies and other users of pest control products, certify individual applicators, investigate companies, and enforce laws in conjunction with the US EPA and other agencies, according to the National Pesticide Information Center.

The majority of states have legislated pre-emption laws in order to stop US environmental terrжrism.

In general terms, pre-emption refers to the ability of one level of government to over-ride the laws of a lower level.

Pre-emption laws have effectively stopped the possibility of state or municipal prohibitions against pest control products, and even fertilizers, used in the urban landscape and by the agriculture industry.

However, with the support of anti-pesticide organizations, several states and municipalities are fighting to overturn pre-emption laws in order to impose the needless, senseless, and malicious prohibition of products that are, otherwise, EPA-approved, federally-legal, scientifically-safe, practically-non-toxic, and cause NO harm.

–

――――――――――――――――――――

–

State Laws For Schools and / or Day-Care Centers

–

Despite their pre-emption laws, most US states have arbitrarily  imposed restrictions and prohibitions against the use of conventional pest control products at schools and / or day-care centers.

At least 21 states have recommended, or have required, that schools the use of the failed IPM ( Integrated Pest Management ).

At least 16 states restrict when or what pest control product may be applied in schools.

At least 17 states require sign-posting for schools for indoor applications.

At least 26 states require sign-posting for schools for outdoor ( grounds ) applications.

At least 23 states require prior written pre-notification to students, parents, and staff before an application is made to schools.

√ — VICTORIES   –   So far, several jurisdictions ( states, cities, counties, districts, and towns ) in America have ended, rejected, rescinded, or stopped their prohibitions against pest control products used in the urban landscape.

Fortunately, the majority of US states have legislated pre-emption laws in order to stop America’s anti-pesticide & environmental terrжrism.

In general terms, pre-emption refers to the ability of one level of government to over-ride the laws of a lower level.

Pre-emption laws have effectively stopped the possibility of state or municipal prohibitions against pest control products, and even fertilizers, used in the urban landscape and by the agriculture industry.

Furthermore, in The Era Of Trump, the golf and professional lawn care industries will no longer fear arbitrary prohibitions against pest control products that are, in fact, safe and effective.

For the control invasive weed pests and destructive insect pests, the proposed prohibition would have only allowed ineffective [ and non-chemical ?!?! ] green alternative pesticides  ―  conventional & effective pest control products would have been prohibited.

The fanatжcal-prohibition was proposed after complaints, coercion, and intimidation from ill-informed activist-parents who were mock-concerned about children and pest control applications in parks.

Should fanatжcal activist-parents be allowed near children ?!?!

Ashland’s parks commissioners unanimously rescinded prohibition, and re-authorized conventional pest control products on baseball and softball infields since parks department staff reported that organic pesticides proved largely ineffective for controlling weeds.

Weeds had taken over the dirt areas of the in-fields, creating an uneven and unsafe surface, as well as presenting a liability issue for the parks department.

Organic pesticide-free maintenance was a dismal failure.

Summary

—

Durango city councillors had listened to a three-hour debate involving fake-science and calls for decisive action to supposedly save the environment.

They had been persuaded to impose prohibition against the use of pest control products in the urban landscape.

Anti-pesticide lunatжc Katrina Blair had attempted to deceive city councillors by alleging that other jurisdictions have successfully adopted similar ordinances, such as Boulder, Colorado.

Cathy Metz, the city’s director of parks and recreation, noted the abundance of weeds in Boulder parks when relying on so-called organic pesticide-free maintenance.

According to Metz  ―

I don’t think boulder is the example we want to follow.

They get complaints every year about dandelions.

Boulder has become internationally-recognized for the poor condition of its green spaces  …  they are garbage dumps.

Fortunately, pest control products are scientifically-safe, will cause NO harm, and are NO threat to children.

Because the pesticide-free maintenance of Boulder green spaces was such a dismal failure, municipal government officials had no choice than encourage the public to somehow appreciate dandelions.

These officials were not competent to manage Boulder’s green spaces.

Prohibition Destroyed Public Green Spaces

–

–

Summary

–

The Chicago Park District has conspired with pesticide-hating enviro-fanatжcs, as well as truth-challenged bee-keepers, to prohibit the use of pest control products used in the urban landscape.

Demands for prohibition were part of a misguided fanatжcal conspiracy to make people’s lives miserable by exposing them to more damaging pest attacks on their properties.

Eventually, the Chicago Integrated Pest Management ( IPM ) and Pesticide-Free Program was pronounced a dismal failure.

The IPM program contributed to the worst playing field conditions the Chicago district had seen in more than a decade.

After four years, Chicago cancelled the IPM program and rescinded the prohibition against pest control products.

Because of Chicago’s adoption of IPM program, weeds represented more than 60 per cent of ground coverage in public green spaces.

IPM cultural practices failed because they DID NOT control weed and insect pests.

Chicago’s pesticide-free maintenance was a dismal failure.

Sports Fields Weed-Ridden Because Of Prohibition

Organic & Pesticide-Free Maintenance Of
Sports Fields Was A Dismal Failure

–

–

Summary

–

Park District of Highland Park has concluded that organic and pesticide-free maintenance of its sports fields was a dismal failure.

The manual weed picking program was deemed totally ineffective.

In order to rid the sports fields of weeds by using manual weed picking, Highland Park observed that you would need an army and concluded that « we don’t think that’s a solution ».

The city’s professional labour force, along with volunteers, were devalorized into a group of mere cotton-pickers.

Highland Park needed to rescue the weed-ridden sports fields from organic and pesticide-free maintenance failures.

Three major sports fields were over-run with more than 60 per cent weed invasion.

The non-expert anti-pesticide activists, like the lunatжc-clowns from Beyond Pesticides, who recommended organic and pesticide-free maintenance, knew nothing and were utterly incompetent.

Pest control products used in the urban landscape are government-approved, federally-legal, scientifically-safe, and practically-non-toxic.

These products did not need to be prohibited.

Organic pesticide-free maintenance was a dismal failure.

Summary

–

The Durango city council voted unanimously to reject a petition-driven ordinance ( a.k.a. anti-pesticide prohibition ) against the use of conventional pest control products, as well as non-organic fertilizers, on city parks and property.

Durango’s municipal government officials attempted to appease local pesticide-hating lunatжcs with so-called chemical free parks.

Two city-owned parks, Brookside and Pioneer, were designated as so-called chemical free parks.

The condition of these parks relied upon so-called organic pesticide-free maintenance and non-organic fertilizer.

The chemical free parks were abysmal failures.

These parks were examples of why organic maintenance cannot work on a larger scale without turning the entire city into a gigantic garbage dump.

The so-called chemical-free parks were / are unsightly due to the broad-leaved plantain weeds growing amidst the grass where the children play.

It would be preferable to apply pest control products since they are scientifically-safe, will cause NO harm, and are NO threat to children.

Organic pesticide-free maintenance is NOT economically viable without droves of laborers to manually pull unwanted plants.

Everett’s Lowell park pesticide-free pilot-project has been ended, and spraying weeds has been resumed with conventional products.

This occurred because not enough volunteers could keep the park up to city standards.

It was too much work for volunteers to maintain the whole park, Dunn said.

Without the use of conventional pest control products, city of Everett was forced to resort to the back-breaking and agonizing job of weed pulling by hand !

Resident weed-picking volunteers, most of whom are elderly and unemployed, were forced to become a group of mere weed-picking niggжrs.

Volunteers were needed because green alternative pesticides were bogus, ineffective, and DID NOT work !

Organic pesticide-free maintenance was a dismal failure in Everett.

From Golf-Hating Fanatжcs

Summary

–

Sharp Park Golf Course has been allowed to remain a golf course after a federal judge dismissed a legal challenge from environmental-terrжrist-organizations.

Nonetheless, golf-hating organizations will continue to attack the golf industry.

These organizations  …  what are they for ?!?!

They exist for one reason and one only  …  and that is to make profit.

They prosper from cash donations, illicit businesses, unqualified employment, and government grants, quite often without paying a single penny in taxes.

Sharp Park Golf Course is / was not harming animal species.

According to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Sharp Park has likely not pose threats to the existence of frogs and snakes on and around the golf course.

As usual, enviro-lunatжcs hate and despise the game of golf.

Enviro-lunatжcs want to shut down golf facilities like Sharp Park.

Golf-hating organizations like National Parks Conservation Association and Wild Equity Institute have terrжrized the city of San Francisco for years over the future of Sharp Park Golf Course.

Sharp Park may still be closed because of their relentless and unceasing lies and mis-information.

The habitat that enviro-lunatжcs are trying to allegedly recover was originally created when the golf course was built along with a sea wall, isolating the Laguna Sal from ocean waves.

If the golf course had never been built, there would have been no habitat for the endangered species.

Nevertheless, golf-hating enviro-lunatжcs seek the destruction of the golf industry.

These terrжrists attack the golf industry under the pretext of alleged ill-effects on the habitats of obscure and insignificant species like garter snakes and tadpoles.

The golf industry should tell anti-golf activists to get off our grASS and roast in hell.

–

–

Summary

–

IPM is promoted by municipal officials who falsely allege success, and who are most likely concocting lies, misconceptions, and deceptions for their own nefarious political interests.

It is impossible for municipal employees to keep city-owned green spaces playable and/or beautiful by using IPM.

The anti-pesticide-version of IPM demands the elimination of the use of conventional pest control products, while at the same time attempting ( and failing ) to manage damaging pest populations at an acceptable level.

Unfortunately, pesticide-free IPM has been designed to be applicable for the production of agricultural crops, and NOT for the maintenance of urban green spaces.

Overall, pesticide-free IPM is a dismal failure, and a waste of time and money for municipalities.

Pesticide-free IPM DOES NOT control pests of established turf and ornamentals.

Pesticide-free IPM will NEVER achieve the level of total reduction or elimination of destructive pests attained by using conventional pest control products.

Wherever pesticide-free IPM is entirely relied upon for the maintenance of turf and ornamentals, damaging pests may only be slightly suppressed, at the expense of plant growth, safe playing conditions, and appearance.

To compensate for the failure of IPM, municipal officials have often embarked on a ludicrous effort to reduce the expectations for the condition of city-owned urban green spaces.

These officials resort to promoting low-end playing conditions and to accept dangerous garbage dump green spaces.

They validate the imposition of an unacceptable and dangerous life-style choice on hapless tax-payers.

Municipal officials would be better-off validating the risk assessment of conventional pest control products, which indicates that they are scientifically-safe, and, when used properly, will NOT cause harm to people, animals, or the environment.

Restriction Rescinded

Federal Judge Strikes Down Ordinance

–

–

Summary

–

Officials at Kauaʻi County have faced the spotlight of scrutiny and the terrжr of the courts.

Their anti-pesticide restriction could not be defended in court.

Kauaʻi County’s ordinance-restriction arbitrarily and illegally forced the agriculture industry to divulge what pest control products were to be used for crop protection.

Kauaʻi County also arbitrarily and illegally forced the agriculture industry to create arbitrary and unnecessary buffer zones near public places like hospitals, schools, and parks.

Kauaʻi County’s ordinance was struck down.

A federal judge has ruled that the Kauaʻi County law arbitrarily and illegally forcing the agriculture industry to divulge its use of pest control products and Genetically Modified ( GM ) Crops is invalid.

Eventually, US federal magistrate Judge Barry Kurren ruled in favour of four agricultural businesses seeking to stop Kauaʻi County’s arbitrary and illegally restriction from going into effect.

–

–

Summary

–

In Lawrence, Kansas, anti-pesticide activists had lobbied the city’s commissioners to convert all 52 parks to organic pesticide-free maintenance.

Without the use of conventional pest control products, Lawrence had to resort to the back-breaking and agonizing job of weed pulling by hand.

The city’s professional labour force and volunteers were devalorized into a group of mere cotton-pickers.

Eventually, government officials rescinded prohibition since residents were no longer interested to volunteer their time in a losing battle against weeds.

Before prohibition, Lawrence had spent less than 10,000 dollars per year for pest control products.

However, municipal officials estimated that the stunningly exorbitant cost of prohibition would be 213,000 dollars for equipment, 116,000 dollars annually for staff, and 95,000 dollars annually for materials.

–

Summary

–

Lincoln City’s move to eliminate pest control products in its parks resulted in a surge of weed growth.

In response, Lincoln City spent 260 staff hours with people on their hands and knees weeding, and they still could not keep up with the weeds.

Back when the department was applying pest control products, parks workers would spend only 60 hours.

Lincoln City has had to neglect tasks ranging from manicuring trees to pressure-washing and painting trash cans.

Green alternatives like vinegar acid are more toxic and more dangerous.

They can burn the eyes and skin of workers, so municipal employees had to wear protective masks and suits.

Three years after going pesticide-free, pest control products needed to be used again in weed-infested parks.

Lincoln City’s organic pesticide-free maintenance was a dismal failure.

Schizophrenic History Of Pesticide Use With
Several Violations Of Its Own Anti-Pesticide Policy

–

–

Summary

–

In Madison, Wisconsin, the city’s use of pesticides reflects its schizophrenic history of pesticide use  ―  and several violations of its own anti-pesticide policy.

Madison continues to use hundreds of gallons of pesticides, such as glyphosate, 2,4-D, and several others, on athletic fields and other city lands  ―  because green alternative pesticides and cultural practices DO NOT WORK !

In fact, the city’s anti-pesticide pesticide policy has stated  ―  the city shall NOT USE pesticides to control dandelions and other broadleaf weeds on general parklands, median strips, street terraces, roadsides, general lawn areas, and athletic fields.

This policy was in line with an Integrated Pest Management ( IPM ) approach, where all city departments would give preference to non-pesticide management practices , which DO NOT WORK, and use the supposedly least risky pesticides only as a last resort, which is INCORRECT.

Furthermore, Madison’s anti-pesticide policy conflicted with Wisconsin state statute [ pre-emption law ], stating that local governments may NOT prohibit the use of, or otherwise regulate, pesticides.

Madison’s prohibition is a total and dismal failure.

Victories Against Anti-Pesticide Terrжrists

Montgomery County

Maryland

Victories …

–

Proposed County Prohibition Stopped

State Pre-Emption Law Prevailed

–

–

Summary

–

Montgomery County, Maryland, had self-imposed prohibition on its own public properties regarding the use of conventional pest control products.

Furthermore, it had intended to impose prohibition against residential and commercial lawns.

However, a circuit court judge has struck down the Montgomery County’s general pesticide ban in a ruling that is precedent-setting in America.

Why ?!?!

Because a vast majority of states have pre-emption laws to prevent municipalities and counties from crafting their own laws regarding the use of pest control products and fertilizers.

Montgomery County’s proposed prohibition flouted decades of state primacy in ensuring safe and proper pesticide use.

It also undermined the state of Maryland’s system of comprehensive and uniform product approval and regulation.

Moreover, it intended to prohibit products and conduct that have been affirmatively approved and licensed by the state.

The case was brought to a circuit court judge by plaintiffs including county residents, local lawn care businesses, manufacturers, and the trade association Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment ( RISE ).

The judge made it extremely clear that Montgomery County CANNOT override the state government.

The federal and state regulation of pest control products is so comprehensive by both the state and federal governments that there is NOTHING ELSE the county can do with its prohibition.

Montgomery County’s proposed prohibition ended as a dismal failure, just like many other jurisdictions in America !

Summary

Residents voted in favour of prohibiting against the use of pest control products used in the urban landscape throughout Ogunquit.

That vote was voided because town officials forgot to check with the Maine Board of Pesticides Control prior to the vote, as required.

This result was in direct contradiction to the vote held earlier when Ogunquit residents defeated a proposal to prohibit against pest control products.

Now the State of Maine has deemed this prohibition as illegal under its pre-emption law.

State officials deserves congratulations.

Because Of Prohibition, Parks Severely
Declined Over A Three Year Period,
Turning Into Garbage Dumps

Ultimately, The City Was Only Able To
Afford Pesticide-Free Parks Through The
Use Of Volunteers Who Were Unreliable

–

–

Summary

–

The city of Portland capitulated under pressure from the anti-pesticide & environmental-terrжrist organization called Northwest Coalition for Alternatives to Pesticides ( NCAP ).

The only solutions were the huge cost in paid labour and volunteer work as back-breaking weed-pickers, and hazardous flame-throwers.

Ultimately, the city was only able to afford pesticide-free parks through the use of volunteers who were unreliable, and whose enthusiasm severely declined over a three year period.

When using conventional and scientifically-safe pest control products, Portland spent a mere 371 dollars per year to keep the weeds out.

However, pesticide-free parks came with the cataclysmic cost increase of 3,621 dollars in annual maintenance, and 9,455 dollars in start-up costs for each new park.

Stunningly exorbitant cost increases were also required to pay parks department employees to haul weeds collected by volunteers, and to inspect the parks to make sure weeds were under control.

Organic pesticide-free maintenance has meant devalorizing Portland’s professional labour force and volunteers into a group of cotton-pickers.

Not only does President Donald Trump intend to « drain the swamp » in Washington, Mr Trump will NOT represent the twisted-interests of anti-pesticide & environmental-terrжrist organizations like Environmental Working Group.

With President Trump, the golf and agriculture industries will no longer fear arbitrary prohibitions against pest control products that are, in fact, safe and effective.

Overall, with the historic Trump victory, these industries may no longer need to fear arbitrary prohibitions against pest control products.

Dear environmental-terrжrists  …  get your panties out of a wad.

Let us know when the IRS comes after you under President Trump.

With President Trump, anti-pesticide and pro-global-warming terrжrism will come to an end.

–

–

Summary

–

Whenever residents of Wallingford, Connecticut, see an baseball in-field over-grown with weeds, they get really upset about the pesticide ban failure.

Anti-pesticide prohibition has inflicted a host of problems that were not really thought out properly.

Because of Wallingford’s reckless and arbitrary prohibition against pest control products used in the urban landscape, municipal employees cannot use safe and effective herbicides  —  instead, they pull the weeds by hand and use weed trimmers.

Within 18 months, Wallingford had a substantial change in the turf thickness on the athletic fields, and weeds were out of control around the buildings and landscape beds  —  converting green spaces into weed-infested garbage dumps.

After prohibition was imposed, Wallingford’s schools were forced to spend exorbitant amounts of money  —  they were forced to buy over 40,000 dollars’ worth of equipment, and were forced to hire more personnel to pull weeds.

The exorbitant cost of a so-called organic pesticide-free program  —  with NO conventional pest control products  —  was significantly more expensive than an Integrated Pest Management ( IPM ) program that allows the use of pest control products as a last resort.

According to David Paul, director of facilities for the city school system, organic green alternative pesticides « just don’t work, and whatever does remotely work is so expensive it’s not conducive to our budgets ».

In Wallingford, green alternative pesticides have been a dismal failure.

Moreover, Wallingford municipal employees were forced to resort to manual labour, and are required to hand-pull weeds, just like cotton-pickers.

Those who support over-turning the prohibition believe not using pest control products can still create a harmful environment for students.

Actually, children are at risk with prohibition.

Sports fields are over-grown with clovers and dandelions.

Clover also attracts sting and potentially deadly bees.

If children play on a weed-infested pesticide-free sports field, what happens if they get stung by bees ?!?!

If children play on a weed-infested pesticide-free sports field, what happens if they have a deadly allergy to bees ?!?!
