Return the use of safe weed and insect control products to our licensed lawn care providers.
I am a voting Ontario resident. I want the Ontario Pesticide Ban amended to allow Ministry of the Environment Licensed Applicators (licensed lawn care companies) to apply Health Canada (PMRA) approved pesticides to my home/business lawn.

BAN COSMETIC PESTICIDES !

The feedback from homeowners is exhausting to read because it confirms how many of us are struggling with these outdated restrictions. I am still pushing for a meeting with the ministry even though the progress feels slow and grueling. We have to keep applying pressure until they acknowledge that the current system is failing.

This product is still approved by health Canada! this bill is a ridiculous ploy to make the public think the government is making moves to help our environment when in fact it is just the easiest move.... meanwhile its still being used on golf courses and on our food and is sold retail for 'non cosmetic use'....
my lawn is just full of weeds and dead spots now. the ban is a joke because the sprays we can buy at the hardware store do absolutely nothing but cost money
let the professionals handle it. my grass looks like a jungle and the city does nothing about it
need this changed back. i pay for lawn care and they cant even do their job properly because of these rules.
TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. golf courses get to keep their greens looking nice but we have to deal with infestations? unfair.
My lawn has cinch bugs and the stuff now doesn't help at all.

residential owners should at the very least be given an option to have approved commercial pesticides applied or not
