Because I have someone that comes and spread pesticide around my house. Should I stop?

@freespirit60 I can’t answer that question as I’m no expert, but I have stopped using pesticides. My decision is based upon worry for the pollinators coupled with my desire to cut out as many chemicals in my life as possible because it seems that every day we learn of new health risks. This decision makes it mosquito alley around my house, but bees and butterflies are bountiful. I even have a little sign in my front yard, informing the city that they are not to spray when they get to my property. They dutifully turn off their fogger until they pass by my border.
I’m sure my neighbors think I’m a little nutty. But that’s OK. Gives them somebody to talk about. 😉

Appreciate the question. I just directed my pest company to skip this time while I send the chemical information to my MM specialist (I have SMM). Logic tells me yes, stop. So what if bugs eat up my house if I’m not around to see it? Now you know how my mind works! But I did ask and receive the document listing the chemical the pest company uses and will send it to my specialist. I’m not sure she will know as there’s so much about chemicals we don’t know the long term effects of.
