Myth Busted: You Don’t Need Pesticides for a Green Yard

Manitoba may be is considering a ban on cosmetic pesticides like WeedEx and RoundUp that close to 50% of us use to kill off weeds and bugs. That’s the second highest rate in the country!

We are one of only 4 provinces with no pesticide ban and some of those provinces are also considering a ban. With a strong connection to human health, some would consider us to be behind the times.

Do we really need chemical pesticides to keep our lawns “green?” Help us to bust this myth!
