The REAL Trends

−

There Are REAL Trends Against Reckless,
Arbitrary, & Doomed-To-Fail Prohibitions

−

No One Wants This #@!!% Ban Nonsense

−

Harmful-Prohibitions ―

−

Government officials are no longer readily jumping in favour of reckless, arbitrary, & doomed-to-fail prohibitions.

−

It is clear that pesticide-hating extremists conspire to impose harmful-prohibitions in order to destroy our urban green space environments, such as playing surfaces used by children.

−

Unfortunately, it is impossible to keep playing surfaces well-maintained, safe, & attractive without conventional pest control products.

−

Without these products, playing surfaces are destroyed ― they become thin & yellow, invaded by weeds, & infested with insects.

−

With harmful-prohibitions, the safety & appearance of playing surfaces are jeopardized with catastrophic ecological pest disasters that destroy the urban environment because of uncontrolled, invasive weeds like dandelions, & destructive insects like white grubs.

−

With weed invasions & insect infestations, safe turf playing surfaces are destroyed ― children are at high-risk of slipping & tripping & becoming seriously hurt.

−

In essence, pest control products prevent harm & keep children safe from injuries.

−

There are over sixty jurisdictions that have stopped or rescinded or limited or have begun to repeal harmful-prohibitions, or have granted commercial businesses & sports fields with exception statuses.

−

This is because pest control products are scientifically-safe & will cause NO harm to human health & the environment when used properly.

−

Urban Garbage Dumps ―

−

By prohibiting conventional pest control products, green spaces have become pest-infested & low-quality & dangerous playing surfaces that look like garbage dumps.

−

This is because it is impossible to control weed invasions & insect infestations by using pesticide-free organic activist-maintenance practices that include inferior green alternatives that WILL NEVER WORK.

−

There should be NO harmful prohibitions which are simply reckless, arbitrary, & doomed-to-fail.

−

Pest control products are scientifically-safe & will cause NO harm to human health & the environment when used properly.

−

Inferior Green Alternatives ―

−

There are NO viable alternatives to conventional pesticides.

−

For the maintenance of turfgrasses, there are NO alternatives that work.

−

There are NO viable, NO efficacious, NO economical, & NO low-risk alternatives to replace conventional pest control products.

−

Green alternative pesticides are bogus, inferior, & dismal failures.

−

They are sold at stunningly exorbitant costs.

−

There are only inferior green alternatives that WILL NOT WORK.

−

There should be NO harmful prohibitions which are simply reckless, arbitrary, & doomed-to-fail.

−

Pest control products are scientifically-safe & will cause NO harm to human health & the environment when used properly.

−

Failure Of Green Alternatives In Edmonton ―

−

In the province of Alberta, the city of Edmonton announced that it had ceased the use of the inferior green alternative herbicide named Fiesta to somehow manage dandelions that have invaded & choked, & destroyed community playing surfaces.

−

Edmonton could no longer afford the weed management program dependent only on Fiesta, which had burdened the city with a stunning cost of 3,000,000-dollars per year.

−

Not only was Fiesta almost-totally-ineffective & uneconomical, it has been proven as well to be higher-risk, inadequate, inferior, more toxic, overwhelmingly condemned, & stunningly expensive.

−

The solution for Edmonton was the reinstatement of conventional weed control products, which are safe & effective, & will cause NO harm to human health & the environment when used properly.

−

Major Study In British Columbia ―

−

Prohibitions are politically-correct rubbish.

−

The public needs to know more about prohibition failures.

−

For example, a MAJOR STUDY of British Columbia’s municipal by-laws has concluded that prohibitions against conventional pest control products have been reckless, arbitrary, & doomed-to-fail.

−

These prohibitions are DISMAL & RIDICULOUS FAILURES because municipal officials have circumvented their own by-laws by taking advantage of thousands & thousands exception statuses that they have covertly inserted into their legislations.

−

This means that they have permitted themselves to use conventional products with impunity.

−

Furthermore, prohibitions have led to catastrophic ecological pest disasters for tens of thousands of destroyed & ravaged properties every single year.

−

By prohibiting conventional pest control products, playing surfaces in British Columbia have become pest-infested & dangerous garbage dumps.

−

This is because it is impossible to control weed invasions & insect infestations by using pesticide-free organic activist-maintenance practices that include inferior green alternatives.

−

Prohibiting conventional products is NOT necessary since they are scientifically-safe & will cause NO harm to human health & the environment when used properly.

−

Real Trends Against Prohibitions ―

−

The question of anti-pesticide prohibition revolves less around health & environment concerns, & more around products & services that are sold at stunningly exorbitant costs.

−

When it comes to prohibition, state & municipal & county officials are thinking twice about banning pesticides by looking at the harms suffered by those jurisdictions that have been forced to endure the hardship & stunningly exorbitant costs of this #@!!% ban nonsense !

−

In fact, there are real trends against harmful-prohibitions.

−

In America, there are dozens & dozens jurisdictions that have stopped or rescinded or limited or have begun to repeal harmful-prohibitions, or have granted commercial businesses & sports fields with exception statuses.

−

The following jurisdictions have joined the real trends against reckless, arbitrary, & doomed-to-fail prohibitions ―

Pre-Emption Laws In America ―

−

Furthermore, at least 30 jurisdictions have legislated explicit pre-emption laws in order to STOP harmful-prohibitions at the state & municipal & county level.

−

These jurisdictions are explicitly pre-empted from adopting stricter legislation that would regulate the use of pest control products.

−

The trends against pesticide bans are relentless & unceasing.

Summary – Overview

US Pre-Emption Laws

−

The Majority Of US Jurisdictions Have Legislated

Pre-Emption Laws In Order To Stop Harmful-

Prohibitions Against No-Harm Pest Control Products

−

Pre-Emption Victories Against Prohibitions In America ―

−

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

−

The majority of US jurisdictions have legislated pre-emption laws in order to stop harmful-prohibitions against [ NO–HARM– ] pest control products at the state or municipal or county level.

−

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 or county prohibitions against pest control products, & even fertilizers, used in the urban landscape & by the agriculture industry.

−

However, with the support of anti-pesticide extremist-organizations, several states & municipalities & counties are fighting to overturn pre-emption laws in order to impose the reckless & arbitrary prohibition against products that are, otherwise, US EPA-approved, federally-legal, scientifically-safe, practically-non-toxic, & will cause no harm to human health & the environment.

−

The following jurisdictions are examples of the pre-emption victories that have joined the real trends against reckless, arbitrary, & doomed-to-fail prohibitions ― see below.

−

Additional Legislations In America ―

−

Despite their pre-emption laws, many US jurisdictions have arbitrarily imposed legislations for schools & / or day-care centers such as ― • forcible use of Integrated Pest Management • pre-notifications • restrictions • sign-posting.

−

At least 21 states have recommended, or have required, that schools use of the failed, futile, & ineffective doctrines of INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT ( IPM ).

−

At least 16 states impose RESTRICTIONS 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, & staff before an application is made to schools.

US Activist-Maintenance

−

Activist-Maintenance Contradicts What

The Public Demands … Good-Quality

Green Space Conditions & Aesthetics

−

Failures Of Activist-Maintenance ―

−

In all cases, reckless & arbitrary prohibitions against [ NO–HARM– ] conventional pest control products used in the urban landscape are doomed-to-fail because some state, municipal, & county governments have adopted pesticide-free organic activist-maintenance practices that are #@!!% nonsense & WILL NEVER WORK.

−

Government officials falsely-allege that activist-maintenance will work, & can be used to successfully to manage green spaces. [ WRONG ! ]

−

They allow themselves to become distracted with arbitrary & unnecessary & failed practices that WILL NEVER WORK, & have no place in decisions concerning the maintenance of green spaces.

−

Green spaces that are managed with activist-maintenance will often REGRESS into forms of maintenance practiced 100 years ago.

−

Government officials have also adopted the INCORRECT DOCTRINE that conventional [ NO–HARM– ] pest control products are somehow undesirable, & must be prohibited from use in the maintenance program. [ ?!?! ]

−

Clearly, they know NOTHING about these products.

−

Activist-maintenance contradicts what the public demands … good-quality green space conditions & aesthetics in the urban environment.

−

Not surprisingly, green spaces that are managed with activist-maintenance tend to become victims of DISMAL & RIDICULOUS FAILURES, such as ―

−

• Pest-infested & low-quality & dangerous playing surfaces that look like garbage dumps, & raise fears concerning litigation ― FAILURES.

−

• Catastrophic ecological disasters because of the large-scale-destruction of playing surfaces caused by uncontrolled pests ― FAILURES.

−

• Stunningly exorbitant costs of inferior alternatives, like vinegar acid & Fiesta, which inevitably become abandoned in favour of more effective conventional pest control products ― FAILURES.

−

• Exception statuses for golf courses, sports fields, glyphosate, & more ― FAILURES.

−

Here are examples of some of the pesticide-free organic activist-maintenance practices that are #@!!% nonsense & WILL NEVER WORK ―

−

• Integrated Pest Management ― FAILURE.

−

• Green alternative pesticides ― FAILURES.

−

• Manual weed picking ― FAILURE.

Background Information

−

Attack-Statements From EHN ?

−

Has Environmental Health News ( EHN ) magazine ATTACKED the green space & golf industries ?

−

EHN magazine has published LIES & MIS-INFORMATION FROM THE US BANNING MOVEMENT.

−

EHN magazine is a publication of Environmental Health Sciences, a profit-seeking, left-wing partisan, & anti-pesticide extremist-organization.

−

EHN is dedicated to spreading fake-news & false-science into the public discussion & to interfere by dictating policy concerning environmental health issues, including pest control products.

−

It is NOT the role of EHN magazine to dictate policies to the green space & golf industries ― its TREACHEROUS ATTACK-STATEMENTS must end.

−

Clearly, EHN magazine serves absolutely NO useful purpose to the green space & golf industries, & may even represent a SIGNIFICANT THREAT to these industries, which must be STOPPED, forever.

The Harms Of Pesticides ?!?!

−

From Environmental Health News – The Harms Of Pesticides ?!?!

−

False Pretexts

−

Many of the most common lawn and landscape pesticides — including glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup — are HARMFUL TO HUMAN HEALTH, POLLINATORS, AND WILDLIFE [ – IN FACT, THEY WILL NOT HARM HUMAN HEALTH & THE ENVIRONMENT ] .

−

Twenty-six of the top 40 pesticides are possible or known CARCINOGENS [ ?!?!?!?! ] , and 24 have the potential to DISRUPT THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM [ ?!?!?!?! ] , among other impacts, according to Beyond Pesticides [ – AN ENVIRONMENTAL-EXTREMIST ORGANIZATION ] .

−

As consumer concerns about the harms of pesticides grow [ ?!?!?!?! ] , fueled in part by the BILLION-DOLLAR SETTLEMENTS against Bayer over glyphosate’s LINK TO CANCER [ ?!?!?!?! ] , and US EPA’s FAILURE [ ?!?!?!?! ] to BAN or RESTRICT pesticides BANNED by other industrial nations [ ?!?!?!?! ] , communities are increasingly passing PESTICIDE REFORM LAWS [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITIONS ] .

Background Information

−

The Safety Of No-Harm Roundup

−

Do herbicides like Roundup ( a.k.a. glyphosate ) harm people ?!?!

−

NO !

−

They have been vindicated.

−

They must NEVER be banned.

−

Roundup is probably THE MOST studied & THE BEST understood of ANY chemical … NOT just pesticide … in existence.

−

Roundup has over 40 years an unblemished safety record.

−

It has been the subject of over 800 rigorous studies.

−

It has been concluded that Roundup WILL NOT threaten health & WILL NOT cause cancer.

−

It is BIOLOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE !

−

It is less toxic than table salt.

−

Everyone must be reminded that Roundup is scientifically-safe & will cause NO harm to human health & the environment.

−

Roundup represents NO-RISK to public health.

−

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA ) ―

−

Human health risks assessment concludes that glyphosate is NOT LIKELY TO BE CARCINOGENIC to humans … [ AND THERE ARE ] no other meaningful risks to human health when the product is used according to the pesticide label.

Background Information

−

Good Laboratory Practice

−

Pesticide-hating extremists know full well that there are NO UNACCEPTABLE RISKS to health & the environment because of INTERNATIONALLY-ACCEPTED SCIENTIFIC STANDARDS.

−

The international standards allow national regulatory agencies, like Health Canada & US EPA, to be impartial & rigorous about the scientific Risk Assessments of pest control products.

−

Only those pest control products that POSE NO UNACCEPTABLE RISK to human health & the environment become government-approved & federally-legal.

−

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development ( OECD ) developed the INTERNATIONALLY-ACCEPTED SCIENTIFIC STANDARDS named Test Guidelines & Principles of Good Laboratory Practices ( GLP ).

GLP applies to ALL Risk Assessments that obtain data on properties & /or safety with respect to human health or the environment, for the purpose of supporting an application for registration.

−

GLP-based Risk Assessments, which includes field studies as well as laboratory studies, has been adopted by national regulatory agencies, like US Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA ), German Federal Institute For Risk Assessment, & Health Canada.

−

All Risk Assessments used for the approval of pest control products must be completed by laboratories sanctioned by GLP, & using ONLY GLP practices.

−

Ultimately, the cost to manufacturers to get a pest control product assessed for safety & brought to market is about 250 MILLION DOLLARS.

−

Background Information

−

Safe & Effective Pesticides

−

GLP-based Risk Assessments ensure that pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE, POSE NO UNACCEPTABLE RISK to health & environment, & WILL NOT CAUSE HARM to people, animals, or the environment.

−

Pest control products used in the urban landscape selectively & effectively control disease, insect, & weed pests, but are completely safe for other non-target organisms ― they DO NOT injure turfgrasses, & have no persistence beyond season of use.

−

There is NOT ONE known INCIDENT REPORT that demonstrates harm from the proper application of [ NO–HARM– ] pest control products used in the urban landscape.

In late 2021, Baltimore BANNED [ I.E. PROHIBITED ] chlorpyrifos, neonicotinoids, and glyphosate use on public and private properties [ – DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY WILL NOT HARM HUMAN HEALTH & THE ENVIRONMENT ] .

−

Baltimore’s LAW [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITION ] passed about a year after residents, buoyed by Montgomery County’s court victory, petitioned the City Council to take up the issue, according to [ ACTIVIST-COUNCILOR ] Mary Pat Clarke, who sponsored the BILL [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITION ] .

−

The LAW has stricter provisions on private properties, BANNING [ I.E. PROHIBITING ] all synthetic pesticides, though a final-hour amendment killed the provision for public education.

−

From Environmental Health News – Baltimore, Maryland

−

No Education Campaign

−

[ ACTIVIST-COUNCILOR ] Clarke said that the health department objected because it did not have the resources to undertake an education campaign during the COVID pandemic.

−

From Environmental Health News – Baltimore, Maryland

−

Glyphosate Waiver / Exception Status

−

Lawn contractors, however, were « THE BIGGEST OPPONENTS » of the LAW [ I.E. PROHIBITION ] , said Clarke —

−

It was a very intense process of hearing from agencies, and from people, and from the lawn service people from the whole region.

−

As a result, the final LAW [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITION ] included a GLYPHOSATE WAIVER [ AN INCONSISTENT & UNFAIR & UNJUSTIFIED EXCEPTION STATUS ] for invasive vegetation on PUBLIC PROPERTIES [ I.E. CITY-OWNED PROPERTIES ONLY ] subject to the commissioner of health’s approval.

Ordinance Struck Down

−

On another Hawaiʻian island, officials at Kauaʻi County have faced the spotlight of scrutiny & the terrжr of the courts.

−

Kauaʻi is the fourth-largest of the Hawaiʻian islands & is known as the Garden Isle.

−

The officials’ anti-pesticide restriction could not be defended in court.

−

Kauaʻi County’s ordinance-restriction arbitrarily & illegally forced the agriculture industry to divulge what [ NO–HARM– ] pest control products were to be used for crop protection.

−

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

−

Kauaʻi County’s ordinance was struck down.

−

A federal judge has ruled that the Kauaʻi County law arbitrarily & illegally forcing the agriculture industry to divulge its use of pest control products & 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 & illegal restriction from going into effect.

Summary Of Prohibitions

−

A MAJOR STUDY of Maine’s HARMFUL MUNICIPAL PROHIBITIONS has concluded that they are DISMAL & RIDICULOUS FAILURES !

−

Here are the KEY POINTS regarding Maine’s PROHIBITION-ORDINANCES ―

−

• Most ordinances have imposed HARMFUL-PROHIBITIONS that are FAILURES.

−

• Most ordinances are FAILURES because they have been validated under FALSE-PRETEXTS.

−

• Most ordinances are FAILURES because municipalities have specifically allowed thousands & thousands of INCONSISTENT & UNFAIR & UNJUSTIFIED EXCEPTION STATUSES.

−

• Some ordinances are FAILURES because they EXTORT residents & businesses with PREDATORY-PERMITS.

−

• Unless the state of Maine intervenes, its municipalities will use HOME RULE to validate their own local HARMFUL-PROHIBITIONS.

−

• Most ordinances have imposed prohibitions against aerial-spraying & forestry, roadside rights-of-way, & storage ― very few impose prohibitions against pest control products in the urban landscape.

−

• In some cases, municipal ordinances SELECTIVELY PROHIBIT & HARM businesses operating in the professional lawn care industry.

−

• Municipal ordinances will literally PUT PEOPLE OUT OF BUSINESS in the professional lawn care industry.

−

• Not surprisingly, the agriculture industry is being PROTECTED from HARMFUL-PROHIBITIONS by the state of Maine.

−

• Municipal ordinances will eventually be STOPPED by the state of Maine.

Exception Statuses

−

The audacity & hypocrisy of Maine’s municipal officials is clearly evident with EXCEPTION STATUSES that they have conveniently inserted into their HARMFUL-PROHIBITIONS.

−

In contradiction to the political-precepts & pesticide-hating doctrines of their prohibitions, Maine’s municipalities have allowed tens of thousands of INCONSISTENT & UNFAIR & UNJUSTIFIED EXCEPTION STATUSES that allow the use conventional pest control products, including ― • agriculture • golf courses • nurseries • sports fields • timber harvesting • & more.

−

The « BIG FIVE » ( Monsanto / Bayer, Syngenta, Pioneer, Dow / DuPont, BASF ) [ – THAT OFFER FOR SALE PESTICIDES THAT WILL NOT HARM HUMAN HEALTH & THE ENVIRONMENT ] spend millions to influence local legislation impacting pesticides, but they also endeavor to « MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE COMMUNITY ».

For example, they sponsor schools, give out science scholarships, and attend school science fairs to give talks on pollinators.

−

Elementary school kids come home wearing bracelets from pesticide manufacturers, she said.

Organizations like Hawaiʻi Alliance for Progressive Action [ – AN ENVIRONMENTAL-EXTREMIST ORGANIZATION ] have worked on issues of pesticides, sustainable agriculture, and fair water use for decades, noted Ness.

−

According to [ EXTREMIST-ACTIVIST ] Ness at Beyond Pesticides —

−

We spent so many years educating the public and council members, and even people in the [ MAUI’S PARKS ] department that there’s better ways to do things and it was just a no brainer.

−

Maui’s LAW PROHIBITS the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides on any county-owned land, including golf courses, by requiring the use of chemicals from the National Organic Standards List [ WITH INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES ] .

Government officials in Montgomery County are part of a pesticide-hating left-wing enviro-extremist regime.

They subversively conspire to impose HARMFUL-PROHIBITION against [ NO–HARM– ] pest control products used in the urban landscape.

−

Montgomery County is a county in the US State of Maryland with a population of over one million residents.

It is one of the 10 richest counties in the United States, & it is also the ONLY county in the country to impose HARMFUL-PROHIBITION.

Overall, Montgomery County’s use of FAILED, FUTILE, & INEFFECTIVE Integrated Pest Management ( IPM ) is rubbish because it CANNOT control damaging pest populations to an acceptable level in established turf.

−

IPM relies upon green alternative pesticides that are INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE & COSTLY, & WILL NEVER WORK.

Garbage Dump Green Spaces

−

Montgomery County’s HARMFUL-PROHIBITION has been STUNNINGLY COSTLY.

−

This is because its parks department has been forced to use INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE & COSTLY green alternative pesticides THAT WILL NEVER WORK.

−

According to Montgomery County’s truth-challenged officials, green spaces will TAKE THREE TO FIVE YEARS TO TRANSITION to green alternatives [ ?!?!?!?! ] .

−

However, these same officials allege that these alternatives will make green spaces AESTHETICALLY DIFFERENT.

−

In other words, residents had better get used to living in an urban landscape that LOOKS LIKE A PEST-INFESTED & DANGEROUS GARBAGE DUMP.

−

In essence, residents have been told to PUT-UP-&-SHUT-UP !

−

Montgomery County’s HARMFUL-PROHIBITION is a dismal & ridiculous failure because INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE & COSTLY green alternative pesticides WILL NEVER WORK.

−

The public must be told why these doctrines are NOT a better choice.

−

There are NO alternatives to get rid of weeds & insects.

Exception Statuses

−

Not surprisingly, INCONSISTENT & UNFAIR & UNJUSTIFIED EXCEPTION STATUSES by Montgomery County ALLOW the use conventional pest control products despite its claims of pesticide-free green spaces.

−

The county defiantly allows these products in order to avoid CATASTROPHIC ECOLOGICAL PEST DISASTERS THAT DESTROY THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT.

−

Officials know full well that their PROHIBITION is HARMFUL & DOES NOT protect the county green space investments from invasive weeds & damaging insects.

In April 2021, New York City BANNED [ I.E. PROHIBITED ] synthetic pesticide use on all city properties [ I.E. CITY PROPERTIES ] except golf courses and playing fields.

−

It took seven years to pass the BILL [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITION ] , with initial delays coming from within the City Council, Ben Kallos, the [ ACTIVIST- ] COUNCILOR who sponsored the ORDINANCES [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITION ] , who noted that …

−

… the parks department, which opposed the measure, held a lot of sway with the City Council.

−

Mayor De Blasio also strongly opposed the BILL [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITION ] .

−

Pretexts For Prohibition

−

Glyphosate, imidacloprid ( a neonicotinoid ), and fipronil, a replacement for chlorpyrifos with potential ENDOCRINE DISRUPTION [ WRONG ! ] and NEUROTOXIC EFFECTS [ WRONG ! ] , are among the most toxic, high-use pesticides the city was using as of 2019 that are now BANNED [ I.E. PROHIBITED ] .

−

Glyphosate accounted for 31 per cent of all liquid herbicide use in NYC in 2019.

−

Herbicide use is relatively small, however, compared to the city’s use of rodenticides and insecticides.

−

In 2019, insecticide use on pests such as roaches, bed bugs, termites, and mosquitoes was 69 per cent ( by application ) of the city’s total pesticide use.

−

Public health EXEMPTIONS are allowed for in the LAW [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITION ] .

Organic Maintenance

−

The coalition that formed to pass the BILL [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITION ] is now working with the parks department to pilot ORGANIC MANAGEMENT on select parks [ – WITH INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES ] and help train employees on the NEW TECHNIQUES [ – THAT WILL NEVER WORK ] .

−

It’s also leading educational workshops with gardeners’ associations and the Department of Public Works’ labor union.

−

Stonyfield Organic’s Play Free Program provided a grant to the city to help it move towards ORGANIC MANAGEMENT [ – WITH INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES ] .

−

According to [ ACTIVIST-COUNCILOR ] Kallos —

−

We can’t be in the business of BANNING [ A.K.A. PROHIBITING ] chemicals, just so that chemical companies can come up with new chemicals that do the same thing.

−

We need to adopt an ORGANIC-FIRST non-chemical approach [ – THAT WILL NEVER WORK ] .

Bethpage State Park Green Golf Course

−

According to a New York State document entitled « REDUCING CHEMICAL USE ON GOLF COURSE TURF ― REDEFINING IPM », strategies were needed for REDUCING THE USE OF PESTICIDES & FERTILIZERS at Bethpage State Park Green Golf Course, in New York State, USA ―

−

The strategies outlined in this manual are primarily based on knowledge gained during a nine-year study at the Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, NY, designed to REDUCE THE USE OF CHEMICAL PESTICIDES AND FERTILIZERS.

−

[ … ]

−

« IPM » will REDUCE YOUR RELIANCE ON PESTICIDES ―

−

The early years of the Bethpage Project demonstrated the effect of the ECOLOGICAL DEPENDENCE OF PESTICIDES [ ?!?!?!?! ] .

−

Specifically, when pesticides were withheld, the turf that had been sustained for more than 60 years with pesticides failed.

−

Over time the project has shown that the putting surfaces, once RELIANT ON PESTICIDES, can be maintained with significantly FEWER INPUTS [ ?!?!?!?! ] .

−

The IPM program helps REDUCE THE RELIANCE ON PESTICIDE USE [ ?!?!?!?! ] by ―

Pesticide-Free Failure

−

The golf industry must discredit facilities like New York State’s Bethpage that embraces the costly, failed, medieval, ineffective, & unfeasible doctrines of pesticide-free organic activist-maintenance practices.

−

Pesticide-free organic activist-maintenance practices have been DISMAL & RIDICULOUS FAILURES at Bethpage State Park Green Golf Course, in New York State, USA.

−

There is only one organic golf course in America ― & it is not Bethpage.

−

This is because a pesticide-free program at Bethpage was not feasible for producing acceptable putting green surfaces.

−

Bethpage is definitely not pesticide-free, but rather, it is merely less reliant on pesticides, which means it still uses pesticides with impunity.

−

Attempts had been made to adapt Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, into a supposedly more progressive [ ?!?!?!?! ] pesticide-free version — supposedly bringing Bethpage one step closer to becoming an organic & a pesticide-free golf course.

−

Predictably, IPM golf courses like Bethpage will never become pesticide-free.

−

Not surprisingly, ineffective practices of IPM will never control infestations of recurring invasive weeds & destructive insects & harmful diseases.

−

Consequently, Bethpage suffered disaster with the large-scale-death of annual bluegrass.

−

One of the most important organic golf maintenance protocols is turf species transition ( i.e. the elimination of annual bluegrass ).

−

To avoid disaster, all organic golf courses must be expected to transition their putting greens from annual bluegrass to creeping bentgrass.

−

Improved varieties of creeping bentgrass are more resistant to pests than annual bluegrass, an invasive grass species that is highly susceptible to pests & requires the use of more pest control products.

−

Annual bluegrass is also more susceptible to abiotic disorders, such as winter injury & summer stress ― it must be eliminated before embarking on costly, failed, medieval, ineffective, & unfeasible organic maintenance.

−

If putting greens contain more than 50 per cent annual bluegrass, then there will be a disaster when implementing organic management plan.

−

The maintenance practices used at Bethpage are seen as a terrible template for Integrated Pest Management & organic pesticide-free maintenance & turf species transition.

−

Allegations about See I Told You Organic Works have been recognized as false ― Bethpage is a DISMAL & RIDICULOUS FAILURE.

−

Bethpage State Park actually features five 18-hole regulation golf courses including the world-renowned Black Course which was the site of two US Open championships ― if organic at Bethpage Green Course is so successful, then why aren’t the four other Bethpage courses practicing organic maintenance as well ?!??

−

The Golf Industry Does Not Need Organic

−

The golf industry must not readily embrace the false-allegations & propaganda of activist-consultants, especially about Bethpage State Park Green Golf Course.

−

The golf industry must respond by ending its validation of activist-consultants like Frank Rossi.

−

Furthermore, the golf industry cannot possibly consider Bethpage as a template that serves as an example for the golf industry. [ ?!?!?!?! ]

−

In essence, Bethpage represents a terrible attack against main-stream superintendents & their facilities.

−

Bethpage is recognized as a DISMAL & RIDICULOUS FAILURE.

−

The golf industry does not need pesticide-free organic activist-maintenance practices.

−

The golf industry DOES need to satisfy paying-customers who want golf courses with high-quality playing conditions & aesthetics provided by greener, thicker, pest-free, & manicured turf conditions.

−

The golf industry can be successful when following the protocols & performance standards for science-based & time-tested & correct maintenance practices.

Portland passed a LAW in 2018 BANNING [ I.E. PROHIBITING ] synthetic pesticides for turf, landscape, and outdoor pest management on both public and private properties, and the parks department is doing its part to comply across the city’s recreational fields, its 66 parks on more than 1,000 acres, community gardens, and other sites.

Organic Pesticide-Free Maintenance

−

In fall 2021, Portland’s Parks, Recreation, and Facilities Department began ORGANIC TURF MANAGEMENT [ – WITH INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE GREEN ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS ] — ZERO-USE [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITION ] against synthetic pesticides or fertilizers to control weeds and grubs — on Fox Field.

−

It took …

−

• Four applications of ORGANIC FERTILIZER ( sulfate of potash * ).

−

Background Information – Portland, Maine

−

ORGANIC FERTILIZER — FAILURE ?

−

* Sulfate of potash is a natural, & NOT organic, potassium mineral that contains 51 per cent soluble potash & 18 per cent sulfur. It also contains trace amounts of calcium & magnesium. Potassium is second only to nitrogen in terms of the abundance needed for plants, but it CANNOT replace nitrogen, which is responsible for denser, greener, more vigorous growth, & high-quality playing conditions & aesthetics.

−

• Copious soil AMENDMENTS * ( sand, peat, and loam ).

−

Background Information – Portland, Maine

−

AMENDMENTS — FAILURE ?

−

* Poor soil conditions CANNOT POSSIBLY BE IMPROVED by merely surface-broadcasting large quantities of amendments like soils, granular compost, or organic matter. It is IMPOSSIBLE for ANY amendments to move directly from the soil surface & into the root-zone. They will remain ONLY on the surface, & will more likely contribute to layering & increased thatch accumulation, which are damaging to turf. Moreover, amendments are WEAK & NEEDLESSLY EXPENSIVE sources of plant nutrients. It is a myth to believe that these products are somehow superior to conventional fertilizers. Turfgrasses could not care less what is the actual source of nutrient ― however, turf will respond most favourably to ADEQUATE levels of nutrients, especially nitrogen, in ANY form. Amendments are NOT a superior source of nutrients essential for turfgrass growth.

−

• INJECTIONS OF OXYGEN to increase nutrient and water circulation.

−

Background Information – Portland, Maine

−

OXYGEN INJECTIONS — FAILURE ?

−

The adoption of the costly & failed doctrine of oxygen injections is NOT necessary since CONVENTIONAL TURF CULTIVATION ( i.e. soil aeration ) can be performed regularly in order to economically & successfully provide high-quality playing conditions & aesthetics. Core aeration of fields is recommended at least every month in spring & fall. The larger hole size ― & closer spacing between holes ― the better. Non-core cultivation methods ( a.k.a. venting aeration ), such as solid-tine, must be used throughout the summer months.

−

• HEAVY SEEDING.

−

Background Information – Portland, Maine

−

OVER-SEEDING — FAILURE ?

−

Over-seeding CANNOT replace nitrogen fertilization, which is responsible for denser, greener, more vigorous growth, & high-quality playing conditions & aesthetics.

Organic Pesticide-Free Maintenance ( Continued )

−

Meanwhile, back in Portland, Fox Field and Playground visitors are pleased with the ORGANIC MANAGEMENT [ – WITH INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES ] — even if they don’t necessarily understand what’s involved.

−

According to Tom Lovering, [ ACTIVIST- ] COACH of Portland Rugby Football Club —

−

Fox Street was sort of a neglected field where you never knew what you’re going to have to pick up off the field before the game.

−

[ ACTIVIST-COACH ] Lovering, who has played on the field for decades, notes that the new ORGANIC MANAGEMENT REGIME [ – WITH INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES ] , along with the rest the field got last year during COVID, « BROUGHT A LOT OF THE VEGETATIVE GROWTH BACK, WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR CONTACT SPORTS » [ ?!?! ] .

−

While [ ACTIVIST-COACH ] Lovering confesses to being ignorant about what ORGANIC MANAGEMENT means [ – IT MEANS THAT IT WILL NEVER WORK ] , he said —

−

I definitely prefer that over them saying, let’s just throw some chemicals at this problem and don’t worry about the CONSEQUENCES [ ?!?!?!?! ] of that.

−

ALIGNS WITH A LOT OF OUR VALUES [ ?!?!?!?! ] .

−

Beyond playing fields, [ ACTIVIST-DIRECTOR ] Marshall has opted for ORGANIC TREATMENT [ – WITH INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES ] of invasive species, like Brown-Tail Moth and Emerald Ash Borer, at some of the city’s iconic parks — even though Portland’s LAW [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITION ] allows for invasive species waivers.

−

For example, the city used an organic product ( Entrust by Spinosad ) on the Brown-Tail Moth, which not only damages forests but CAUSES RASHES IN SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS [ ?!?!?!?! ] .

−

Background Information – Portland, Maine

Prohibition Is #@!!% Nonsense

−

On January 3rd, 2018, in the state of Maine, Portland’s city council approved a RECKLESS & ARBITRARY PROHIBITION against the use of [ NO–HARM– ] conventional pest control products used in the urban landscape.

−

Portland’s HARMFUL MUNICIPAL PROHIBITION will inevitably become a FAILURE in every way possible since it is extremely-biased & highly-prejudicial.

−

Elected officials voted in favour of PROHIBITION under the false-assumption that inferior green alternatives could somehow replace [ NO–HARM– ] conventional pest control products.

−

They will quickly really that these alternatives are DISMAL & RIDICULOUS FAILURES not only because of their stunningly exorbitant costs, but also because of their lack of effectiveness.

−

Portland’s HARMFUL-PROHIBITION, & its reliance on inferior green alternatives, would cause uncontrollable pest problems that would lead to the imminent demise of green spaces that were degraded into PEST-INFESTED & LOW-QUALITY & DANGEROUS PLAYING SURFACES THAT LOOK LIKE GARBAGE DUMPS.

−

Background Information – Portland, Maine

−

Exception Statuses

−

Additionally, Portland’s HARMFUL MUNICIPAL PROHIBITION would allow hundreds of INCONSISTENT & UNFAIR & UNJUSTIFIED EXCEPTION STATUSES.

−

Over the course of years, Portland’s HARMFUL-PROHIBITION has allowed EXCEPTION STATUSES on public / city-owned properties, including hundreds of pesticide applications on Hadlock Field, five athletic fields on Fox Street, at Deering High School, Deering Oaks Park, & Payson Park, & Riverside Golf Course, the 18-hole municipal public golf facility owned by the city of Portland.

−

Unfortunately, Portland’s HARMFUL-PROHIBITION has been disgustingly arbitrary in its flagrant discrimination against professional lawn care businesses that were provided with NO EXCEPTION STATUSES whatsoever, leading to their assured business destruction.

−

Overall. there should be NO #@!!% EXCEPTION STATUSES whatsoever, even on public / city-owned properties.

−

Portland’s HARMFUL-PROHIBITION led to EXORBITANT COSTS of 700,000-dollars for pesticide-free maintenance, to replace the sports field turf because of uncontrollable & destructive pest infestations.

−

As well, more EXORBITANT COSTS of 30,000-dollars per year were needed for additional staff time for manual weed-picking & for expensive green alternative pesticides that were inferior & ineffective.

−

Background Information – Portland, Maine

−

False-Pretext For Prohibition

−

Portland’s HARMFUL MUNICIPAL PROHIBITION was imposed under the FALSE–PRETEXT that human health & the environment are somehow being protected.

−

This HARMFUL-PROHIBITION is a DISMAL & RIDICULOUS FAILURE because it is extremely biased, highly prejudicial, inconsistent, unfair, subversive, & stunningly expensive ― & neither human health nor the environment will be better protected.

−

No one in Portland wants this #@!!% ban nonsense !

−

Background Information – Portland, Maine

−

Safe & Effective Pesticides

−

Portland’s HARMFUL MUNICIPAL PROHIBITION ignores the fact that the leading scientific experts confirm that [ NO–HARM– ] conventional pest control products used in the urban landscape are scientifically-safe & will cause NO harm to human health & the environment.

−

Dr Keith R Solomon, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Environmental Biology at the University of Guelph.

−

Dr Solomon is also Director of the Centre for Toxicology.

−

According to Dr Solomon, pest control products used in the urban landscape degrade rapidly, & DO NOT build up residues during the length of the season.

−

There is NO accumulation of pest control products in the environment.

−

In fact, pests come back fairly quickly, within a few short weeks.

−

For example, 2,4-D herbicide must be applied at least twice per season, otherwise the weeds come back.

−

The half-life of 2,4-D in soils is a matter of weeks.

−

Another herbicide, glyphosate ( aka Roundup ) is no longer biologically active within hours of being sprayed on soil.

−

Pest control products are known to dissipate extremely rapidly.

−

Overall, there is NO accumulation over time of [ NO–HARM– ] pest control products, & NO residues to be concerned about.

−

Pest control products are scientifically-safe, practically-non-toxic, & will cause NO harm to human health & the environment.

−

Background Information – Portland, Maine

−

No One Wants This #@!!% Ban Nonsense

−

Portland’s HARMFUL MUNICIPAL PROHIBITION will inflict CATASTROPHIC ECOLOGICAL PEST DISASTERS THAT DESTROY THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE OF UNCONTROLLED, INVASIVE WEEDS, & DESTRUCTIVE INSECTS, & forces home-owners & professionals to adopt bogus alternative maintenance products.

−

There is no such thing as non-toxic & effective alternatives to conventional [ NO–HARM– ] pest control products.

−

According to field experience & anecdotal evidence, as well as university studies, green alternative pesticides are NOT equivalent alternatives & NOT safer when compared to conventional [ NO–HARM– ] products.

−

In fact, these products may be HIGHER-RISK & INEFFECTIVE & INFERIOR & FAILED, with questionably higher toxicity & with higher environmental risks.

−

Overall, home-owners & professionals who rely upon green alternative pesticides will not be able to provide GOOD-QUALITY PLAYING CONDITIONS & AESTHETICS.

−

Pesticide-free organic activist-maintenance practices WILL NEVER WORK.

−

Portland’s PROHIBITION is a DISMAL & RIDICULOUS FAILURE.

−

Everybody is being lulled into la-la land.

−

There are NO alternative products & practices that work.

−

Focusing on soil health will not control pests.

−

Natural / organic-based products will not control pests.

−

Pesticide-free organic activist-maintenance practices will not control pests, & will inflict stunningly expensive maintenance costs.

−

Despite rigged testimonials & mock-photos, pesticide-free organic activist-maintenance practices will not control pests.

−

Background Information

−

Ontario Prohibition Failures

−

All HARMFUL MUNICIPAL PROHIBITIONS are FAILURES.

−

They are known to be FAILURES in Canadian jurisdictions like Ontario.

−

After up to 10 years of experiencing HARMFUL-PROHIBITIONS in Ontario, all urban landscapes have become PEST-INFESTED & LOW-QUALITY & DANGEROUS PLAYING SURFACES THAT LOOK LIKE GARBAGE DUMPS.

−

This is because alternative maintenance products & practices were DISMAL & RIDICULOUS FAILURES.

−

Because of HARMFUL-PROHIBITION in Ontario, the professional lawn care industry lost over 500,000,000 dollars, with over to 12,500 unemployed.

−

No one in wants this #@!!% ban nonsense.

National Association of Landscape Professionals ( NALP )’s report spotlights its DEFEAT of a Prince George’s County, Maryland, proposed BAN [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITION ] ―

−

NALP defeated an attempt to BAN [ I.E. PROHIBIT ] the use of synthetic pesticides on public and private property.

−

This was no easy feat considering neighboring Montgomery County, which passed a similar ORDINANCES [ A.K.A. HARMFUL-PROHIBITION ] several years ago, was heavily engaged.

−

Exorbitant Costs

−

Scarborough’s pesticide-free organic activist-maintenance practices were STUNNINGLY EXPENSIVE & not economically viable.

−

STUNNINGLY EXORBITANT COSTS rise & rise & rise because of the FAILURE of ORGANIC PESTICIDE-FREE MAINTENANCE in Scarborough.

−

In the first full fiscal year with the ORGANIC approach, Scarborough spent 121,578-dollars for turf management.

−

In the second fiscal year, the figure rose to 137,920-dollars, & by the fourth year was 159,207-dollars.

−

Consequently, Scarborough’s HARMFUL-PROHIBITION has been a DISMAL & RIDICULOUS FAILURE !

Prohibition

−

In the state of Maine, the city of South Portland’s HARMFUL MUNICIPAL PROHIBITION against the use of pest control products on public land would take effect on May 1st, 2017, on private properties in 2018, & on golf courses in 2019.

−

This prohibition represents the end of the GOLF INDUSTRY EXCEPTION STATUS in South Portland.

−

It is a recognized fact that HARMFUL-PROHIBITION is unnecessary since pest control products are scientifically-safe, practically-non-toxic, & will cause NO harm to human health & the environment.

−

After decades of practical & independent experience, observers now know the truth.

−

Outside of South Portland, in Ontario, the reckless & arbitrary imposition of HARMFUL-PROHIBITION since 2009 has proven NOT to be in the best interest of human health & the environment.

−

Background Information – South Portland, Maine

−

Pest Disasters

−

South Portland’s HARMFUL MUNICIPAL PROHIBITION has created CATASTROPHIC ECOLOGICAL PEST DISASTERS THAT DESTROY THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE OF UNCONTROLLED INVASIVE WEEDS & DESTRUCTIVE INSECTS.

−

Here is what the residents of South Portland can expect ― • public & private properties will be ruined by uncontrolled weed invasion & insect destruction • weeds will invade lawns, & dandelions will become the dominant ground cover • lawns will be decimated by destructive insects like white grubs • playing surfaces will become hazardous to children who are at high-risk of tripping & becoming seriously hurt • infra-structures will be damaged by invasive noxious plants like Japanese Knotweed & Giant Hogweed • mature street trees will perish • rose plantations will die.

Garbage Dumps

−

Sadly, South Portland’s HARMFUL-PROHIBITION has created CATASTROPHIC ECOLOGICAL PEST DISASTERS.

−

Without conventional pest control products, green spaces & hard-landscapes have become PEST-INFESTED & LOW-QUALITY & DANGEROUS GARBAGE DUMPS because it is impossible to control invasive weeds & destructive insects by using so-called green alternative pesticides & practices.

−

No one South Portland wants to live in #@!!% PEST-INFESTED & DANGEROUS URBAN LANDSCAPES THAT LOOK LIKE GARBAGE DUMPS.

−

In South Portland, residents have NO objection to government officials’ choice of life-style, which, in this case, is a clear preference to live in an urban environment that has become PEST-INFESTED WITH LOW-QUALITY & DANGEROUS PLAYING SURFACES THAT LOOK LIKE GARBAGE DUMPS.

−

However, observers DO object to the imposition of this life-style choice on the majority of the community that does not want to live in this manner.

The Industry Strikes Back

−

According to [ EXTREMIST-ACTIVIST ] Drew Toher at Beyond Pesticides [ – AN ENVIRONMENTAL-EXTREMIST ORGANIZATION ] —

−

TRADE ASSOCIATIONS like Responsible Industry for Sound Environment ( RISE ), the National Pest Management Association ( NPMA ), the National Association of Landscape Professionals, and Golf Course Superintendents Association, are typically engaged in local-level fights, while the manufacturers focus on higher-level battles.

−

Industry takes things up a notch when private properties are covered by a BAN [ I.E. PROHIBIT ] , as it is in Portland.

−

According to Toher —

−

Every state where we get policies that affect private property, [ THE INDUSTRY ] has consistently tried to introduce state-level legislation [ I.E. PRE-EMPTIONS ] that would overturn local policies.

−

Yet there’s a lot of inter-mingling. [ ?!?!?!?! ]

−

Chemical company representatives sit on the boards of these trade associations or provide financial contributions to become partners. [ ?!?!?!?! ]

−

The TRADE ASSOCIATIONS are also members of CropLife’s Pesticide Policy Coalition ( PPA ), a lobbying group that includes major pesticide manufacturers [ – THAT OFFER FOR SALE PESTICIDES THAT WILL NOT HARM HUMAN HEALTH & THE ENVIRONMENT ] , such as ―

−

• BASF

−

• Bayer / Monsanto

−

• Dow / DuPont

−

• Pioneer

−

• Syngenta

−

CropLife’s Pesticide Policy Coalition ( PPA ), for example, advocated unsuccessfully for a provision in the 2018 Farm Bill that would have PRE-EMPTED cities and counties from passing local PESTICIDE ORDINANCES [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITIONS ] .

−

Its 2021 Mid-Year Government Relations Report states it was « ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN LOBBYING, ENGAGING THE ACT NETWORK AND PROVIDING TESTIMONY » on 324 out of 1,267 BILLS [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITIONS ] that could affect landscape and lawn care companies.

−

Pesticide PRE-EMPTION and pesticide BANS / RESTRICTIONS [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITIONS ] were among its top issues cited.

IPM As A Talking Point

–

From Environmental Health News – IPM As A Talking Point

−

The Industry Strikes Back

−

[ FANATЖCAL-ACTIVIST ] Jason Davidson, senior food and agriculture campaigner at Friends of the Earth [ AN ENVIRONMENTAL-EXTREMIST ORGANIZATION ] , agrees that the « VERY CLEAR FLOW » of talking points from the pesticide industry down through state TRADE ASSOCIATIONS to their members who may be contractors to local government can stymie or weaken local PESTICIDE REFORM MEASURES [ I.E. THE CONSPIRACY TO IMPOSE RECKLESS & ARBITRARY PROHIBITION ] .

−

Industry talking points seeped into the debate in Philadelphia, which passed a BAN [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITION ] in October 2020.

−

Mr Doug Rea, President of the Philadelphia Association of Golf Course Superintendents; Mr Zack Zaki, global business director of GSS, FMC Corporation ( an insecticide producer headquartered in Philadelphia ) and vice chair of Responsible Industry for Sound Environment’s ( RISE’s ) executive committee; and Mr Bob Mann from the National Association of Landscape Professionals ( NALP ) were among industry representatives who testified against the BILL [ I.E. HARMFUL-PROHIBITION ] and echoed the same talking points on the safety of the US EPA’s regulatory process and the benefits of [ FAILED, FUTILE, & INEFFECTIVE ] Integrated Pest Management ( IPM ).

−

Communities still face head-winds, however, from resistant public agencies that often lack training, staff, and resources, and are subject to the insidious influence of the pesticide industry and its proxies that seek to DERAIL THE MOVEMENT [ I.E. THE CONSPIRACY TO IMPOSE RECKLESS & ARBITRARY PROHIBITION ] .

−

Trust in the US Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA )’s regulatory system for pesticide approval, and the virtues of [ FAILED, FUTILE, & INEFFECTIVE ] Integrated Pest Management ( IPM ), an approach that relies on pesticides as a last resource but often still uses a notable amount, are CHIEF INDUSTRY TALKING POINTS that get parroted [ ?!?!?!?! ] at the local level.

−

Background Information

−

Integrated Pest Management ( IPM )

−

The FANATЖCAL PESTICIDE-FREE DOCTRINES of IPM will NEVER reduce & NEVER eliminate the need for conventional pest control products.

−

The FAILED, FUTILE, & INEFFECTIVE IPM doctrines are unfairly allowing pesticide-hating left-wing enviro-fanatжcal government officials to use pesticides when it suits their POLITICALLY-CORRECT AGENDA !

−

Unfortunately, IPM is #@!!% nonsense & WILL NOT WORK.

−

IPM is inappropriate for the maintenance of turfgrasses.

−

The FANATЖCAL PESTICIDE-FREE DOCTRINES of IPM WILL NOT control infestations of recurring invasive weeds & destructive insects.

−

IPM will lead to CATASTROPHIC ECOLOGICAL PEST DISASTERS THAT DESTROY THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE OF UNCONTROLLED, INVASIVE WEEDS, & DESTRUCTIVE INSECTS.

−

The use of IPM is POLITICALLY-CORRECT RUBBISH.
