Sensing The Smell Of Danger
When Using « Organic » Lawn Care

~

~

~

There are POTENTIAL DANGERS when using « ORGANIC » lawn care services. 

~

ORGANIC CHEMICALS used for pest control are NOT tested or regulated for safety or efficacy. 

~

Organic lawn care companies can put whatever they want into their spray & never have to prove that it works or that it is safe. 

~

According to University of Massachusetts & University of New Hampshire, ORGANIC CHEMICALS used for insect & weed control present a risk of respiratory & kidney problems, especially in small children & pets  ―  there are potential DANGERS when using pesticide-free maintenance. 

~

ORGANIC CHEMICALS can expose users & bystanders to very high pollutant levels, & elevated concentrations can persist in the air long after the activity is completed. 

~

HEALTH EFFECTS may include damage to liver, kidney, & nervous system, & perhaps cancer in humans. 

~

Among the IMMEDIATE SYMPTOMS that some people have experienced soon after exposure to some ORGANIC CHEMICALS include eye & respiratory tract irritation. 

~

Just because a product or a lawn care service is called « ORGANIC » does not mean it is safer or better.

The Organic Menace

~

~

The Unaffordable Menace & Expensive
Failures & Potential Dangers Of Organic
Pesticide-Free Maintenance

~

~

~

MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE organic pesticide-free maintenance ( aka organic maintenance ) has been an UNAFFORDABLE MENACE & an EXPENSIVE FAILURE. 

~

When it comes to harmful-prohibitions against no-risk conventional products, state, municipal, & county officials are THINKING TWICE about banning these products by looking at the MENACE & FAILURE of organic pesticide-free maintenance. 

~

There are NO successful practices for organic pesticide-free maintenance  ―  they are MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE. 

~

Whenever prohibitions are imposed, GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES are incorporated into organic maintenance  ―  not because they work  ―  but because the rules & legislation will overwhelmingly & unfairly favour these products. 

~

GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES are INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE, & WILL NEVER CONTROL infestations of recurring invasive weeds & destructive insects & harmful diseases. 

~

Before the imposition of prohibitions, the costs for maintaining public & residential green spaces would have been far LESS EXORBITANT with NO-RISK & AFFORDABLE conventional pest control products. 

~

Organic pesticide-free maintenance has been A MENACE & A FAILURE because it will create catastrophic ECOLOGICAL DISASTERS from uncontrolled & dangerous insects like white grubs, & from invasive & dangerous weeds like dandelions on public & residential green spaces. 

~

Organically-maintained green spaces inevitably end up looking like GARBAGE DUMPS, with playing surfaces having been extensively damaged & many have been rendered unplayable, compromising the safety of CHILDREN & adults, who are at high-risk of slipping & tripping & becoming SERIOUSLY HURT. 

~

Organic pesticide-free maintenance has been A MENACE & A FAILURE because safe turf playing surfaces are destroyed whenever prohibition is imposed  ―  CHILDREN are in DANGER of slipping & tripping & becoming seriously hurt. 

~

According to University of Massachusetts & University of New Hampshire, organic insect & weed control products present a risk of respiratory & kidney problems, especially in small CHILDREN & pets  ―  there are potential DANGER when using pesticide-free maintenance. 

~

Organic pesticide-free maintenance is A MENACE & A FAILURE for the GOLF INDUSTRY, but, fortunately, Canada has NO organic pesticide-free golf courses. 

~

In America, virtually all organic golf courses only PRETEND being pesticide-free. 

~

With the MENACE & FAILURE of organic pesticide-free maintenance, trade associations must establish policies for EXPELLING those members who adopt these MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE practices. 

~

National regulatory agencies, world-wide, have found that conventional products DO NOT PRESENT RISKS OF CONCERN to human health or the environment when properly used according to label directions. 

~

The UNAFFORDABLE MENACE & EXPENSIVE FAILURE of organic maintenance must be eradicated from the modern green space industry, forever. 

~

Human health & the environment are already PROTECTED by Health Canada, US Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA ) & other national regulatory agencies. 

~

These national regulatory agencies, & NOT GREEN ALTERNATIVE USERS, have the ESSENTIAL EXPERTISE & ULTIMATE CREDIBILITY on pest control products.

~

KEY POINTS  ― 

~

There Are Potential Dangers When
Using « Organic » Lawn Care Services

~

Organic Pesticides Are Not Tested

Or Regulated For Safety Or Efficacy

~

Organic Lawn Care Companies Can

Put Whatever They Want Into Their

Spray & Never Have To Prove That

It Works Or That It Is Safe

~

According To University Of

Massachusetts & University Of New

Hampshire, Organic Insect & Weed

Control Products Present A Risk Of

Respiratory & Kidney Problems,

Especially In Small Children & Pets

~

There Is Not Much Difference

Between Organic & Synthetic

~

~

~

MEDIA REPORT  ― 

~

~

A local Bedford New Hampshire magazine featured Groundhog Turf Care to educate consumers about the potential DANGERS of using organic lawn care services. 

~

Nick Makris, co-founder and chief operating officer of Groundhog Turf Care urges home-owners to USE CAUTION when considering organic lawn care treatments, according to an article published in the April 2022 edition of Bedford Living magazine. 

~

According to Nick Makris  ― 

~

When it comes to fertilizer, THERE ISN’T MUCH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORGANIC AND SYNTHETIC. 

~

The real concern is in insect and weed controls. 

~

We often hear « ORGANIC » and think that equates to being safe for the environment, people, and pets, however this is not necessarily true. 

~

Remember that cyanide and arsenic are both organic compounds. 

~

What most home-owners don’t know is that, unlike synthetic lawn care products, ORGANIC PESTICIDES ARE NOT TESTED OR REGULATED BY THE EPA FOR SAFETY AND EFFICACY. 

~

Basically, ORGANIC LAWN CARE COMPANIES CAN PUT WHATEVER THEY WANT INTO THEIR SPRAY AND NEVER HAVE TO PROVE THAT IT WORKS OR THAT IT IS SAFE. 

~

The Groundhog Turf Care company, working directly with professors from the University of Massachusetts and the University of New Hampshire, have found that organic insect and weed control products PRESENT A RISK OF RESPIRATORY AND KIDNEY PROBLEMS through laboratory testing, especially in small children and pets. 

~

Groundhog Turf Care customizes its own nutrient-rich synthetic lawn care products specifically for the needs of New Hampshire lawns. 

~

According to Nick Makris  ― 

~

Most national lawn care companies cut costs by using cheaper fertilizer  ―  the most expensive component of a lawn care product. 

~

What we have found is that investing in the fertilizer product  ―  adding micro-nutrients and biological metabolites, etc …  ―  creates thicker healthier turf, which in turn chokes out weeds and repels insects, requiring less pesticides to maintain the lawn. 

~

Lawns are a lot like us that the better nutrition they receive, the healthier they will be. 

~

The article was featured in the April 2022 edition of Bedford Living Magazine, a social publication which is distributed free to 7,100 residents of Bedford New Hampshire. 

~

Bedford Living is one of 30 community magazines published through N2 Publishing  ―  a nation-wide publishing company dedicated to building communities by supporting local businesses, promoting local events, and sharing resident-submitted articles of interest. 

~

Bedford Living’s personal mission is to bring the community together in a positive way with residents telling their story. 

~

Two per cent of the profits received through the publication are donated to help stop human trafficking. 

~

Makris says that Groundhog Turf Care is proud to belong to this Bedford Living community and hopes that his contribution to the magazine will help to raise awareness regarding the safe use of lawn care products for the residents of Bedford and surrounding communities.

Introduction

~

~

Volatile ORGANIC CHEMICALS ( VOCs ) are EMITTED as gases from certain solids or liquids. 

~

VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS. 

~

Concentrations of many VOCs are CONSISTENTLY HIGHER INDOORS ( up to 10 TIMES HIGHER ) than outdoors. 

~

VOCs are EMITTED by a wide array of products numbering in the thousands. 

~

ORGANIC CHEMICALS are widely used as ingredients in HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS. 

~

Paints, varnishes, and wax all contain organic solvents, as do many cleaning, disinfecting, cosmetic, degreasing, and hobby products. 

~

Fuels are made up of ORGANIC CHEMICALS. 

~

All of these products can RELEASE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS while you are using them, and, to some degree, when they are stored. 

~

EPA’s Office of Research and Development’s « Total Exposure Assessment Methodology ( TEAM ) Study » ( Volumes I through IV, completed in 1985 ) found levels of about a dozen common ORGANIC POLLUTANTS to be 2 TO 5 TIMES HIGHER INSIDE HOMES than outside, regardless of whether the homes were located in rural or highly industrial areas. 

~

TEAM studies indicated that while people are using products containing ORGANIC CHEMICALS, they can expose themselves and others to very high pollutant levels, and elevated concentrations can persist in the air long after the activity is completed.

Health Effects

~

~

HEALTH EFFECTS of Volatile Organic Compounds ( VOCs )

may include  ― 

~

•   DAMAGE TO LIVER, KIDNEY, & CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. 

~

•   Eye, nose, & throat irritation. 

~

•   Headaches, loss of coordination, & nausea. 

~

•   Some ORGANICS can cause CANCER in animals, some are suspected or known to cause CANCER in humans. 

~

~

Key signs or SYMPTOMS associated with exposure to Volatile Organic Compounds ( VOCs ) include  ―  

~

•   Allergic skin reaction. 

~

•   Conjunctival irritation. 

~

•   Declines in serum cholinesterase levels. 

~

~

•   Emesis. 

~

•   Epistaxis. 

~

•   Fatigue. 

~

•   Headache. 

~

•   Nausea. 

~

•   Nose & throat discomfort. 

~

~

The ability of ORGANIC CHEMICALS to cause HEALTH EFFECTS varies greatly from those that are HIGHLY TOXIC, to those with no known health effect.

~

As with other pollutants, the extent and nature of the HEALTH EFFECT will depend on many factors including level of exposure and length of time exposed. 

~

~

Among the IMMEDIATE SYMPTOMS that some people have experienced soon after exposure to some ORGANICS include  ― 

~

•   Dizziness. 

~

•   EYE & RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. 

~

•   Headaches. 

~

•   Visual disorders & memory impairment. 

~

~

At present, not much is known about what HEALTH EFFECTS occur from the levels of ORGANIC CHEMICALS usually found in homes.

Levels In Homes

~

~

Studies have found that levels of several ORGANICS average 2 TO 5 TIMES HIGHER INDOORS than outdoors. 

~

During and for several hours immediately after certain activities, such as paint stripping, levels may be 1,000 TIMES background outdoor levels.

Steps to Reduce Exposure

~

~

•   Do not store opened containers of unused paints & similar materials. 

~

•   Formaldehyde, one of the best-known Volatile Organic Compounds ( VOCs ), is one of the few indoor air pollutants that can be readily measured. 

~

๐   Identify, & if possible, remove the source. 

~

๐   If not possible to remove, reduce exposure by using a sealant on all exposed surfaces of paneling & other furnishings. 

~

•   Increase ventilation when using products that emit VOCs. 

~

•   Keep out of reach of children & pets. 

~

•   Make sure you provide plenty of fresh air when using these products. 

~

•   Meet or exceed any label precautions. 

~

•   Never mix household care products unless directed on the label. 

~

•   Throw away unused or little-used containers safely; buy in quantities that you will use soon. 

~

•   Use household products according to manufacturer’s directions. 

~

•   Use INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT techniques to reduce the need for PESTICIDES. 

~

~

~

Follow label instructions carefully  ―    

~

~

Potentially HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS often have warnings aimed at reducing exposure of the user. 

~

For example, if a label says to use the product in a well-ventilated area, go outdoors or in areas equipped with an exhaust fan to use it.  

~

Otherwise, open up windows to provide the maximum amount of outdoor air possible. 

~

~

~

Throw away partially full containers of old or unneeded chemicals safely  ―   

~

~

Because gases can leak even from closed containers, this single step could help lower concentrations of ORGANIC CHEMICALS in your home. 

~

( Be sure that materials you decide to keep are stored not only in a well-ventilated area but are also safely out of reach of children. ) 

~

Do not simply toss these unwanted products in the garbage can. 

~

Find out if your local government or any organization in your community sponsors special days for the collection of TOXIC WASTES. 

~

If such days are available, use them to dispose of the unwanted containers safely. 

~

If no such collection days are available, think about organizing one. 

~

~

~

Buy limited quantities  ― 

~

~

If you use products only occasionally or seasonally, such as paints, paint strippers. and kerosene for space heaters or gasoline for lawn mowers, buy only as much as you will use right away. 

~

~

~

Keep exposure to emissions from products containing methylene chloride to a minimum  ―   

~

~

Consumer products that contain methylene chloride include paint strippers, adhesive removers, and aerosol spray paints.  

~

Methylene chloride is known to cause CANCER in animals.  

~

Also, methylene chloride is converted to carbon monoxide in the body and can cause symptoms associated with exposure to carbon monoxide.  

~

Carefully read the labels containing health hazard information and cautions on the proper use of these products. 

~

Use products that contain methylene chloride outdoors when possible; use indoors only if the area is well ventilated. 

~

~

~

Keep exposure to benzene to a minimum  ― 

~

~

Benzene is a known human CARCINOGEN.

~

~

The main indoor sources of this chemical are  ― 

~

•   Automobile emissions in attached garages. 

~

•   Environmental tobacco smoke. 

~

•   Paint supplies. 

~

•   Stored fuels. 

~

~

Actions that will reduce benzene exposure include  ― 

~

•   Eliminating smoking within the home. 

~

•   Discarding paint supplies & special fuels that will not be used immediately. 

~

•   Providing for maximum ventilation during painting. 

~

~

~

Keep exposure to perchloroethylene emissions from newly dry-cleaned materials to a minimum  ―   

~

~

Perchloroethylene is the chemical most widely used in dry cleaning. 

~

In laboratory studies, it has been shown to cause CANCER in animals. 

~

Recent studies indicate that people breathe low levels of this chemical both in homes where dry-cleaned goods are stored and as they wear dry-cleaned clothing. 

~

Dry cleaners recapture the perchloroethylene during the dry-cleaning process so they can save money by re-using it, and they remove more of the chemical during the pressing and finishing processes. 

~

Some dry cleaners, however, do not remove as much perchloroethylene as possible all of the time. 

~

Taking steps to minimize your exposure to this chemical is prudent  ― 

~

•   If dry-cleaned goods have a strong chemical odor when you pick them up, do not accept them until they have been properly dried. 

~

•   If goods with a chemical odor are returned to you on subsequent visits, try a different dry cleaner.

The Organic Menace

~

~

The Unaffordable Menace & Expensive
Failures & Potential Dangers Of Organic
Pesticide-Free Maintenance

~

~

~

The Organic Menace Of Uncontrolled Pest Infestations

~

~

MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE organic pesticide-free maintenance ( aka organic maintenance ) has been an UNAFFORDABLE MENACE & an EXPENSIVE FAILURE for the modern green space industry. 

~

A safe, economical, & well-maintained green space can only be achieved with SCIENCE-BASED & TIME-TESTED & NO-RISK conventional pest control & fertilization programs, & not with organic pesticide-free maintenance. 

~

Organic pesticide-free maintenance has been A MENACE & A FAILURE because NO-RISK & EFFECTIVE conventional pest control products are not allowed by reckless & arbitrary prohibitions. 

~

Organic maintenance is often recommended merely to advance the conspiracy to prohibit conventional pest control products. 

~

It may be falsely-alleged that organic pesticide-free maintenance will work, & can be used to successfully to manage green spaces  ―  this is ridiculous & wrong. 

~

These practices have REGRESSED turfgrass maintenance by 100 years since they are MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE & WILL NEVER CONTROL INFESTATIONS of recurring invasive weeds & destructive insects & harmful diseases. 

~

~

The Organic Menace Of Unaffordable Failures

~

~

When it comes to harmful-prohibitions against no-risk conventional products, state, municipal, & county officials are THINKING TWICE about banning these products by looking at the UNAFFORDABLE MENACE & EXPENSIVE FAILURE of organic pesticide-free maintenance. 

~

In dozens of jurisdictions, officials have sought to RESCIND OR AVOID harmful-prohibition altogether because organic pesticide-free maintenance is MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE. 

~

Government officials are no longer readily jumping in favour of harmful-prohibitions  ―  there are over sixty jurisdictions that have stopped or rescinded or limited or have begun to repeal harmful-prohibitions because organic pesticide-free maintenance is MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE. 

~

To effectively & safely control damaging pests, conventional pest control products are absolutely necessary  ―  they are SCIENCE-BASED & TIME-TESTED & ECONOMICAL & NO-RISK when used properly. 

~

~

The Organic Menace Of Ineffective Green Alternatives

~

~

Whenever prohibitions are imposed, GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES are incorporated into organic maintenance  ―  not because they work  ―  but because the rules & legislation will overwhelmingly & unfairly favour these products. 

~

GREEN ALTERNATIVE PESTICIDES are INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE, & WILL NEVER CONTROL infestations of recurring invasive weeds & destructive insects & harmful diseases. 

~

Green alternative pesticides are NOT non-toxic, NOT safer, & NOT effective when compared to conventional products. 

~

Overall, organic pesticide-free maintenance that relies on green alternatives will not be able to provide safe, economical, & well-maintained green spaces. 

~

Green alternatives will never reduce, or even eliminate, the need for no-risk conventional pest control products  ―  in all cases, they will never, ever, work. 

~

In some cases, green alternative pesticides may be considered as unsafe as Agent Orange, DDT, & other banned products that may have questionably higher toxicity & higher environmental risk. 

~

Many green alternatives are NOT federally-registered & are NOT proven to be scientifically-safe. 

~

Rules & legislation that arbitrarily prohibit conventional products, but not green alternative pesticides, cannot stop the public from realizing that deliberate mis-information is being perpetuated by officials. 

~

When compared to green alternatives, SCIENCE-BASED & TIME-TESTED & NO-RISK conventional products can be used safely & will cause no harm to human health & the environment. 

~

~

The Organic Menace Of Exorbitant Costs

~

~

Before the imposition of prohibitions, the costs for maintaining public & residential green spaces would have been far LESS EXORBITANT with NO-RISK & AFFORDABLE conventional pest control products. 

~

The EXORBITANT COSTS of green alternative pesticides has forced municipal officials to re-think their harmful-prohibitions against NO-RISK & AFFORDABLE conventional pest control products. 

~

When used on public green spaces, INFERIOR & INEFFECTIVE & UNAFFORDABLE green alternative pesticides, like Fiesta, have cost thousands & thousands of dollars more than conventional products. 

~

~

The Organic Menace Of Ecological Pest Disasters

~

~

Organic pesticide-free maintenance has been A MENACE & A FAILURE because it will create catastrophic ECOLOGICAL DISASTERS from uncontrolled & dangerous insects like white grubs, & from invasive & dangerous weeds like dandelions on public & residential green spaces. 

~

Green alternative pesticides cannot control recurring invasive weeds, destructive insects, & harmful diseases since they merely suppress these pests, even with unaffordable repeat applications. 

~

~

The Organic Menace Of Garbage Dump Green Spaces

~

~

Organically-maintained green spaces inevitably end up looking like GARBAGE DUMPS, with playing surfaces having been extensively damaged & many have been rendered unplayable, compromising the safety of CHILDREN & adults, who are at high-risk of slipping & tripping & becoming SERIOUSLY HURT. 

~

Green spaces will never looked so #@!!% ugly when using organic pesticide-free maintenance. 

~

Without conventional pest control products, public & residential green spaces will become pest-infested & dangerous GARBAGE DUMPS because it will be impossible for home-owners, & even professionals, to protect their properties from damaging pests by relying on inferior, ineffective, & unaffordable green alternative pesticides. 

~

~

The Organic Menace Of Jeopardizing Children

~

~

Organic pesticide-free maintenance has been A MENACE & A FAILURE because safe turf playing surfaces are destroyed whenever prohibition is imposed  ―  CHILDREN are in DANGER of slipping & tripping & becoming seriously hurt. 

~

Conventional no-risk pest control products are desperately needed to maintain safe green spaces for CHILDREN. 

~

With organic pesticide-free maintenance, the safety & appearance of playing surfaces are JEOPARDIZED by ECOLOGICAL DISASTERS from destructive & dangerous insects like white grubs, & from invasive & dangerous weeds like dandelions. 

~

~

The Organic Menace Of Danger To Children

~

~

According to University of Massachusetts & University of New Hampshire, organic insect & weed control products present a risk of respiratory & kidney problems, especially in small CHILDREN & pets  ―  there are potential DANGERS when using pesticide-free maintenance. 

~

CHILDREN are NOT AT RISK from pesticides, but are at higher-risk with pesticide-free playing surfaces that will become DANGEROUS to children who are at high risk of tripping & becoming seriously hurt. 

~

Reverting back to SCIENCE-BASED & TIME-TESTED & NO-RISK conventional products will prevent DANGERS to CHILDREN. 

~

~

The Organic Menace Of Unfair Exception Statuses

~

~

Municipal officials circumvent their own harmful-prohibitions on public green spaces by taking advantage of EXCEPTION STATUSES that they have conveniently inserted into their BY-LAWS because organic pesticide-free maintenance is MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE. 

~

A MAJOR STUDY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA’S MUNICIPAL BY-LAWS has concluded that PROHIBITIONS against conventional pest control products are now being CIRCUMVENTED by taking advantage of EXCEPTION STATUSES that have been COVERTLY INSERTED by municipal officials.   

~

Organic pesticide-free maintenance will never adequately control infestations of recurring invasive weeds & destructive insects & harmful diseases  ―  no problem for municipalities that have provided themselves with inconsistent & unfair EXCEPTION STATUSES for no-risk conventional pest control products  ―  for city-owned properties ONLY  ―  & NOT for lawn care businesses & NOT for residential home lawns. 

~

In order to be consistent & fair, there should be NO EXCEPTION STATUSES whatsoever, either in British Columbia or anywhere else in North America. 

~

~

The Organic Menace Of Unverified Successes

~

~

There are NO successful practices for organic pesticide-free maintenance  ―  they are MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE. 

~

Nonetheless, commercial organic maintenance is PROMOTED by extremists who are withering under the weight of their own treachery with UNVERIFIABLE SUCCESS STORIES; hence they must resort to lying, cheating, & fraud to describe the results of these unsuccessful practices. 

~

Government officials have PROMOTED organic maintenance only because it somehow aligns with their conspiracy to prohibit conventional pest control products.

~

Polls prove that more than half of home-owners feel that their governments are wrong when implementing harmful-prohibition  ―  home-owners do not want to be forced into relying on MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE organic maintenance. 

~

~

The Organic Menace Of Pesticide-Free Golf Courses

~

~

Organic pesticide-free maintenance is A MENACE & A FAILURE for the GOLF INDUSTRY, but, fortunately, Canada has NO organic pesticide-free golf courses. 

~

In Canada, there have been four, yes only four, golf courses that have PRETENDED being organic & pesticide-free;  they have been put up for sale & have gone into receivership  ―  one no longer pretends to be organic. 

~

The Canadian golf industry’s OFFICIAL POSITION on organic pesticide-free maintenance has been   ―    •   golf courses have not adopted a policy of no-pesticides   •   Canadian conditions are not conducive for pesticide-free maintenance   •   acceptable playing conditions can only be achieved through the use of pest control products   •   these products are a necessity due to the requirement for professional turfgrasses grown in difficult climate conditions. 

~

In America, virtually all organic golf courses only PRETEND being pesticide-free. 

~

In America, so-called organic golf courses are forced to adopt MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE maintenance practices which cannot possibly control pests that represent a threat to playing conditions & aesthetics. 

~

~

The Organic Menace Of Garbage Dump Golf Courses

~

~

Whenever MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE organic maintenance is adopted, it is IMPOSSIBLE to provide golf customers with high-quality playing conditions & aesthetics with greener, thicker, pest-free, & manicured turf at an affordable cost. 

~

Without conventional pest control products, golf courses will become pest-infested & unplayable GARBAGE DUMPS that look dead  …  unless staggering & unlimited amounts of money are provided by either government hand-outs or ultra-wealthy club-members. 

~

Overall, high-quality golf course playing conditions can only be achieved through the use of no-risk conventional pest control products. 

~

~

The Organic Menace Must Be Eradicated

~

~

With the MENACE & FAILURE of organic pesticide-free maintenance, trade associations must establish policies for EXPELLING those members who adopt these MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE practices. 

~

Trade associations must also publicly DISCREDIT bogus terms like organic-maintenance & pesticide-free-maintenance. 

~

Trade associations must be expected to strongly urge their constituent-industries to recognize that safe, economical, & well-maintained green spaces can only be achieved with SCIENCE-BASED & TIME-TESTED & NO-RISK conventional pest control products & fertilizers, & not with inferior & ineffective green alternatives. 

~

The UNAFFORDABLE MENACE & EXPENSIVE FAILURE of organic maintenance must be ERADICATED from the modern green space industry, forever. 

~

~

The Organic Menace Is Meaningless

~

~

National regulatory agencies, world-wide, have found that conventional products DO NOT PRESENT RISKS OF CONCERN to human health or the environment when properly used according to label directions. 

~

By contrast, organic pesticide-free maintenance has been rendered MEANINGLESS. 

~

Human health & the environment are already PROTECTED by Health Canada, US Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA ) & other national regulatory agencies. 

~

These agencies, & NOT GREEN ALTERNATIVE USERS, have the ESSENTIAL EXPERTISE & ULTIMATE CREDIBILITY on pest control products. 

~

~

The Organic Menace Will Cause Harm

~

~

Risk assessments are performed by REAL expert-scientists at Health Canada & US EPA to ensure that these products CAN BE USED SAFELY, & that human health & the environment WILL BE PROTECTED. 

~

By contrast, organic pesticide-free maintenance WILL CAUSE HARM. 

~

Contrary to what pesticide-hating extremists lie about, there are NO pest control products that are known or probable carcinogens. 

~

Pesticides causing cancer is a myth; prohibiting these products will prevent virtually NO cancer-deaths. 

~

Pest control products are nowhere near a leading cause of cancer-death, & there is NO chance that they will make you die of cancer. 

~

There are NO worries & NO uncertainties with pest control products.
