Web-based Pesticide Reduction Resource

Tired of breathing the fumes of your neighbour’s chemical yard-sprays? Get your city involved by directing them to a new Web site providing municipal governments and communities with access to information, tools and networks promoting pesticide reduction. Sponsored by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), the Responsible Pest Management Web site offers a collection of Canadian-based information including city pesticide-reduction case studies, best practices and alternatives, and management tools. “Getting good information on what to do is not easy,” said Elizabeth Arnold, chair of the FCM Pest Management Committee. “The Web site helps communities find reliable information.”
