Pesticides/IPM (Pollution)

Pesticide use can be limited and used in ways to protect clean water and still keep pests away from homes and food sources. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) aims to control insects and diseases while minimizing economic, health, and environmental risks.  New legislation passed in 2022, has now classified neonicotinoid pesticides as restricted-use only, prohibiting outdoor, non-agricultural use of this pesticide.
