Information

[Grass Happens]

Hi all, I'm writing a research paper in defense of lawn pesticide use, and need some help locating more sources. I have a couple of text books that will work, but when i do an Internet search all i get are the "pesticides are going to ruin the world" sites. So if any of you know any good sites, I'd appreciate it greatly!
Thank you.

Rise will not help--you need Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment--publisher of pestfacts.

Be sure to mention the hazards of fire ants on school playgrounds. Also mention the number of children killed by bee stings. You might mention that alligators kill more people in the US than pesticides. Be sure to investigate the thousand of pages of safety documentation required of lawn care products. You will find that many safety tests are conducted. Lawn products are tested for safety before marketing in every conceivable way.
