My original motivation is lost in the mists of time, but almost certainly included #sustainability, traceability, #healthy #food, #pleasure of #Gardening, avoidance of #insecticides and #herbicides.

#Insecticides not only affect pests - but also #aquatic insects. A study by LIB, @leeselab of @unidue and @LandscapEcology of @rptu_kl_ld provides first evidence of alteration of genetic program in insect larvae. More: https://bit.ly/44mzVzg

🎥 Sans remettre en cause l’interdiction des #Néonicotinoïdes, je rappelle à ma collègue #EELV que les alternatives actuelles comme les #Insecticides utilisés en remplacement nécessitent parfois plus d’une dizaine de pulvérisations pour un résultat moindre.

Love to hear what customers are saying about Goats' Day Off Natural Lemongrass & Eucalyptus with Citronella Essential Oil Mosquito Repellent Lotion.

No need to kill mosquitoes, flies, and ticks when you can simply hide from them and avoid harmful chemicals such as DEET (an insecticide that can cause allergic reactions, seizures, chronic headaches, fatigue, respiratory disorders, and skin conditions). Insecticides aren't just harmful to insects, they're harmful to humans, as well.

We have two size-options available: Regular (7 oz. $9.99) & Mini (3.5 oz. $5.99) so you can take your bug protection with you wherever you go.

@trueinfections As well as the awful #ClimateCrisis effects, in this specific case your post prolly also needs an #Insecticides hashtag, as that's also most apposite in this context.

I've had about 20 grasshoppers in my #veganic veg patch. Worrying because nothing seems to predate them in this garden. Yet, I can't see much damage. Quite often, the fear of crime is greater than the reality. #homegrown #food #biodiversity #insecticides

Insect growth regulator pesticides affect how quickly #bees lose fat and age. Some #pesticides cause bees to begin foraging earlier. Others cause foragers to loss fat and age faster, consequently they collect less #pollen but the pollen they return with is fattier to compensate

If we didn't demand no holes and blemishes on bought veg, farmers would be relieved of at least some of the environmental harms that come from perfectionism. Demand less!

A lake in Shimane Prefecture has seen its commercial #fishery collapse by more than 90 per cent since 1993, when #insecticides known as #neonicotinoids were first introduced to the area

“In urban and suburban areas, #herbicides and #insecticides are used to maintain golf courses and lawns as well as for pest control. Fungicides are commonly used in building materials to kill or stop the growth of mold.

“Freshwater #ecosystems are very vulnerable to these pesticides… because they can get into the water in so many different ways,” said Cheryl Nenn, who manages the water quality monitoring program for #Milwaukee Riverkeeper. Pesticides can soak into the land getting into the #groundwater or they can wash directly into the #water.”

@mizoraman It depends, but if used properly, traps can be an effective way to control pests.

#Insecticides kill a wide spectrum of species, and if traps use the right #pheromones , in the right time of year, these can target a single species, and a single sex. I fact, sexual confusion alone can deter a pest from doing most harm.
