Sunday morning on your front porch wouldn’t be nearly as peaceful if your grass resembled the same color as your morning cup of Joe. Although we go to great lengths to keep our grass a luscious green and free of overgrown weeds, we need to be careful throughout this up-keeping process.
Pesticides pose real dangers to you, your children and even your neighbors. Many safety procedures should be followed during the course of these applications and your neighbors need to know about these as well.
Learn How to Talk to your Neighbors
EPA-registered pesticides need to be applied very carefully and requirements must be met as well in order to ensure a safe environment and playground for your neighborhood. If your neighbors are unaware of these procedures it is best to let them know. But proceed with caution. Sometimes talking to your neighbors about topics like this can be a touchy subject.
One of the best ways to approach your neighbors about the threat of pesticides is simply in a cool, calm and collected manner. Don’t be harsh and forceful but rather lead by example. By placing signs in your front yard about when pesticides have been sprayed, you can cautiously show them what needs to be done to warn others.
Finding this common ground will definitely make living next to one another a heck of a lot easier.
