Green Alternative Pesticides Are INFERIOR And DISMAL FAILURES
Despite claims to the contrary, overall, there are NO viable, NO efficacious, NO economical, or NO low-risk ALTERNATIVES to replace CONVENTIONAL pest control products.
It is WRONGLY ASSUMED THAT ALTERNATIVES are somehow safer and work as well as CONVENTIONAL products.
Since 2009, in the Province of Ontario, home-owners and professionals have been FORCED TO RELY UPON INFERIOR GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES because of the RECKLESS AND ARBITRARY PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION against CONVENTIONAL pest control products.
There is little debate about the fact that Ontario’s 2009 PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION is a DISMAL FAILURE, and converted communities into SHABBIER AND DANGEROUS PEST-INFESTED GARBAGE DUMPS.
It was/is IMPOSSIBLE to control DAMAGING PESTS OF TURF AND ORNAMENTALS without CONVENTIONAL pest control products.
By definition, ALTERNATIVES ARE INFERIOR, which is why they did not win the market-place originally.
INFERIOR GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES are usually LESS TESTED as well, raising the prospect that they are NOT ANY SAFER OR BETTER THAN CONVENTIONAL PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS, and are, in fact, DISMAL FAILURES.
INFERIOR GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES, such as Corn Gluten Meal, Fiesta, Flame-Throwers, Met52, Nematodes, and Sarritor, are DISMAL FAILURES.
INFERIOR GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES are INEFFECTIVE, INADEQUATE, HIGH-RISK, INEFFECTIVE, MORE TOXIC, STUNNINGLY EXPENSIVE, and OVERWHELMINGLY CONDEMNED !
It is IMPOSSIBLE for home-owners or professionals to keep their properties beautiful and safe by using INFERIOR GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES.
There are NO viable, NO efficacious, NO economical, or NO low-risk ALTERNATIVES to replace CONVENTIONAL pest control products.
A well-maintained lawn and landscape can ONLY BE ACHIEVED with CONVENTIONAL pest control products.

Green Alternatives Are Not Safer And Not Better
INFERIOR GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES are NOT SAFER and DO NOT WORK !
There are NO viable, NO efficacious, NO economical, or NO low-risk ALTERNATIVES to replace CONVENTIONAL pest control products.
In many cases, INFERIOR GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES are questionably HIGHER IN TOXICITY, and pose HIGHER ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS.
They are BOGUS AND DISMAL FAILURES.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for home-owners or professionals to keep their properties beautiful, or for growers to control pests in crops, by using INFERIOR GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES.
A well-maintained conventional lawn and landscape, or a pest-free crop, can ONLY BE ACHIEVED WITH CONVENTIONAL pest control products.
Fortunately, CONVENTIONAL pest control products are SAFE, EFFECTIVE, ECONOMICAL, and LOW-RISK.
The SAFEST WAY to maintain Green Spaces is with pest control products that are HEALTH-CANADA-APPROVED, FEDERALLY-REGULATED, SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE, PRACTICALLY-NON-TOXIC, and CAUSE NO HARM.
Anti-Pesticide Activists and Government Officials are IMPOSING the use of Green Alternative Pesticides which WRONGLY ASSUMES THAT ALTERNATIVES will be safer and work as well.
But, by definition, ALL EXISTING ALTERNATIVES ARE INFERIOR, which is why they did not win the market-place originally.
Alternative products are usually LESS TESTED as well, raising the prospect that they are NOT ANY SAFER than the products PROHIBITED by Government Officials.

The Lawn Care Industry Is Living In LUNATIC LA-LA-LAND
The Owners of Businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry are being LULLED into LUNATIC LA-LA LAND.
Since Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION was RECKLESSLY IMPOSED in Ontario, owners have PERPEPTUALLY BEEN SUCKED INTO THE PSEUDO-EXCITEMENT of GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES.
They live in LUNATIC LA-LA LAND which is a euphoric dream-like mental state detached from the reality.
The owners are DELUDED into believing that GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES will return their businesses to the PROFITABLE AND HEALTHY CONDITION they were in prior to the CATASTROPHIC CARNAGE of PROHIBITION.
Owners DO NOT understand that ALL GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES WILL BE BOGUS AND DISMAL FAILURES, and will ALWAYS BE SHORT-LIVED BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WORK.
GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES like Met52 Insecticide are just simply INFERIOR, and will NOT benefit the Professional Lawn Care Industry.
THIS IS WHY MET52 #@!!% SUCKS !
――――――――――――――――――――
Summary ― WHY MET52 SUCKS !
Met52 Insecticide is a so-called Bio-Pesticide, Metarhizium anisopliae.
It’s a BIO-Pesticide.
What do you expect ?
Which means it SUCKS, and it will be INEFFECTIVE, and it will have SAFETY ISSUES, and it will be STUNNINGLY EXPENSIVE, especially because of CONTINUAL REPEAT APPLICATIONS.
In other words …
• Met52 is an INFERIOR GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDE
• Met52 DOES NOT WORK
• Met52 is HIGHER IN TOXICITY
• Met52 is NOT EFFECTIVE
• Met52 is NOT SAFER
• Met52 is STUNNINGLY EXPENSIVE
• Met52 poses HIGHER ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS
• Met52 provokes ALLERGIC REACTIONS
• Met52 provokes RESPIRATORY AND DERMAL SENSITIVITY
• Met52 requires CONTINUAL REPEAT APPLICATIONS
• Met52 requires EXCESSIVE PERSONAL PROTECTION
• Met52 is a BOGUS AND DISMAL FAILURE
THIS IS WHY MET52 #@!!% SUCKS !
――――――――――――――――――――
MET52 SUCKS !
Ineffective With Suppression Only, And NO Control
Met52 Insecticide SUCKS because it is INEFFECTIVE, and DOES NOT WORK, since it MERELY SUPPRESSES certain insects, and DOES NOT CONTROL THEM.
According to Health Canada …
Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act and Regulations, is proposing full registration for the sale and use of Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 and Met52 EC Bioinsecticide, containing the technical grade active ingredient Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52, to reduce the numbers of whiteflies and thrips on greenhouse food crops and SUPPRESS HAIRY CHINCH BUGS AND TICKS ON TURF.
The use of the term SUPPRESSION implies a MERE 50 PER CENT CONTROL, at best.
This is NO BETTER than Nematode Bio-Insecticides for White Grub SUPPRESSION.
THIS IS WHY MET52 #@!!% SUCKS !
――――――――――――――――――――
MET52 SUCKS !
Stunningly Expensive With Continual Repeat Applications ― Part 1
Met52 Insecticide SUCKS because it is STUNNINGLY EXPENSIVE, especially because of CONTINUAL REPEAT APPLICATIONS.
The need for and timing of re-application should be determined by monitoring.
An APPLICATION INTERVAL OF 4 WEEKS for Hairy Chinch Bug, or 3 weeks for ticks, is recommended.
According to the PCPA label regarding the Met52 EC formulation …
Foliar application.
Turf use ― Apply at a rate of 64-96 mL/100 m2 against hairy chinch bugs and 137-155 mL/100 m2 against ticks.
Use the higher application rate when pest pressure is high.
Re-apply as required.
The need for and timing of re-application should be determined by monitoring.
AN APPLICATION INTERVAL OF 4 WEEKS FOR HAIRY CHINCH BUG or 3 weeks for ticks is recommended.
Mix well by external mixing, in-tank mixing, or pump circulation to form emulsion.
Follow spray equipment manufacturer’s instructions for final spray volume to obtain adequate coverage.
Do not apply at pressures above 1380 KPa ( 200 PSI ).
Spray to wet all foliage, but avoid runoff.
Do not apply through a thermal pulse fogger.
THIS IS WHY MET52 #@!!% SUCKS !

MET52 SUCKS !
Stunningly Expensive With Continual Repeat Applications ― Part 2
Again, Met52 Insecticide SUCKS because it is STUNNINGLY EXPENSIVE, especially because of CONTINUAL REPEAT APPLICATIONS.
According to the EPA label regarding the Met52 EC formulation …
Met52 EC may be used for foliar applications to control insects with a high reproductive potential.
It is best to begin applying Met52 EC at early stages of population development.
REPEAT APPLICATIONS AT 5-10 DAY INTERVALS, matching application interval to insect and population.
High insect populations of whiteflies may require 2-5 day intervals.
APPLICATIONS TO LEAF LITTER AND TURF MAY BE DONE ON A FOUR TO SIX WEEK INTERVAL WITH AN EXPECTED RESIDUAL EFFICACY OF A FEW MONTHS.
THIS IS WHY MET52 #@!!% SUCKS !

MET52 SUCKS !
Safety Issues Requiring Excessive Personal Protection ― Part 1
Met52 Insecticide SUCKS because of its SAFETY ISSUES, which NEVER EXISTED with CONVENTIONAL pest control products that are now ARBITRARILY PROHIBITED.
Met52 Insecticide PROVOKES ALLERGIC REACTIONS.
Here are the WARNINGS and REQUIRED PERSONAL PROTECTION when using Met52 in GRANULAR form …
DUE TO CONCERNS ABOUT USERS DEVELOPING ALLERGIC REACTIONS through repeated high exposure to Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52, anyone handling or applying Met52 GRANULAR Bioinsecticide must wear waterproof gloves, EYE GOGGLES, a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes plus socks and A DUST/MIST FILTERING RESPIRATOR/MASK (MSH/NIOSH APPROVAL NUMBER PREFIX TC-21C) OR A NIOSH-APPROVED RESPIRATOR/MASK WITH ANY N-95, R-95, P-95 OR THE FILTER.
THIS IS WHY MET52 #@!!% SUCKS !
――――――――――――――――――――
MET52 SUCKS !
Safety Issues Requiring Excessive Personal Protection ― Part 2
Met52 Insecticide PROVOKES RESPIRATORY AND DERMAL SENSITIVITY.
Here are the WARNINGS and REQUIRED PERSONAL PROTECTION when using Met52 in EC form …
In individuals exposed to large quantities of Met52 EC Bioinsecticide, RESPIRATORY AND DERMAL SENSITIVITY could possibly develop upon repeated EXPOSURE to the product since the end-use product has been identified as a sensitizer.
Therefore, anyone handling or applying Met52 EC Bioinsecticide must wear waterproof gloves, long-sleeved shirts, long pants, a NIOSH-APPROVED RESPIRATOR( with any N-95, P-95, R-95 or HE filter for biological products ), and shoes plus socks.
Due to the irritation potential identified for Met52 EC Bioinsecticide, workers and handlers are also required to wear EYE GOGGLES.
Also, the signal words, « POTENTIAL SENSITIZER », « WARNING – EYE IRRITANT », and « CAUTION – SKIN IRRITANT » must appear on the principal display panel and precautionary statements, « DO NOT GET IN EYES. AVOID CONTACT WITH THE SKIN » and « MAY CAUSE SENSITIZATION » are required on the secondary display panel of the label.
THIS IS WHY MET52 #@!!% SUCKS !

Communities and businesses are being HARMED and DESTROYED and RAPED by PROHIBITIONS against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape, and by other ACTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM.
We are living in the 9|11 Era of Anti Pesticide and Environmental Terrorism where at least ONE SUBVERSIVE ACT OF TERROR is perpetrated EVERY SINGLE DAY.
We are living in the DARK AGE OF ANTI PESTICIDE TERRORISM where sound science is trumped by FAKE SCIENTISTS, JUNK SCIENCE and UNVERIFIABLE SECRET EVIDENCE through FABRICATION, INNUENDO, and INTERNET RUMOR ― scientific research PROVES that pest control products CAUSE NO HARM and can be USED SAFELY.
An informed public is better able to protect itself and its communities and businesses from so-called activists who are THE LEAST QUALIFIED TO PROVIDE ANY ADVICE about pest control products or the environment.
NORAHG is the National Organization Responding Against HUJE that seek to harm the Green space industry, and the well-being of our communities.
NORAHG morally represents the VAST SILENT MAJORITY of people associated with turf and ornamental plant maintenance who are OPPOSED to Anti Pesticide PROHIBITION and the CLOSURE or ABANDONMENT of green spaces under the RIDICULOUS PRETEXT of somehow « saving » the environment.
NORAHG is a NATIONAL NON-PROFIT NON-PARTISAN organization that does not accept money from corporations or governments or trade associations, and represents NO VESTED INTERESTS WHATSOEVER.
NORAHG is dedicated to reporting PESTICIDE FREE FAILURES, as well as the work of RESPECTED and HIGHLY RATED EXPERTS who promote ENVIRONMENTAL REALISM and PESTICIDE TRUTHS.
NORAHG responds on behalf of the VAST SILENT MAJORITY of the public that DOES NOT WANT PESTICIDE BANS, and SUPPORT those who work in the Professional Lawn Care Industry.
NORAHG is opposed to Pesticide-Free jurisdictions that have DOOMED children to SUFFER INJURIES since Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION inevitably leads to public and residential green spaces that become DANGEROUS AND PEST-INFESTED GARBAGE DUMPS.
NORAHG is concerned that, without pest control products, CHILDREN ARE AT HIGHER RISK OF SUFFERING INJURIES with the creation of HAZARDOUS SLIPPING AND TRIPPING CONDITIONS in sports turf.
NORAHG pledges to deliver comprehensive reports that are worthy of peoples’ time and of peoples’ concern, reports that might ordinarily never have breached the parapet.
NORAHG was the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and his colleagues in 1991. Mr. Gathercole is now retired, although his name continues to appear as founder.
Force Of Nature was launched by NORAHG for CONTINUOUS transmission on the Internet on January 1st, 2009 ― however, the VERY FIRST Stand-Alone FORCE OF NATURE Report was issued on September 19th, 2008.
On March 15th, 2010, Uncle Adolph independently launched The Pesticide Truths, an easy-to-use Web-Site that collects relevant reports of information right-off-the-press.
Pesticide Truths and Force Of Nature, in some ways, are like Google for everything concerning the SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES of Anti-Pesticide and Enviro-Lunatic Terrorists.
