Published at 11:03 pm, June 16, 2024I often hear comments expressing a hesitancy to use commercial pesticides. There is much negative publicity, driven mostly by emotion rather than scientific evidence, regarding the danger of pesticide use. The pesticides available have withstood rigorous scrutiny at many levels and have directions on the bottle for how to use them safely. Our ability to detect pesticides at very low concentrations has increased drastically. This increased ability to detect substances in very, very small amounts doesn’t mean there is increased danger.
