Fyi theres no such thing as “pest”-cide. “Slug” or “rat” poison.
Its just poison. It doesnt select.
People also need to get away from the borderline fetish for a chemically controlled lawn of controlled grass.
Dandelions are vital for bees as the earliest source of nectar, and the seeds are gr8 for birds.
Our warped view of weeds is destroying our insects. Look at ragwort, people even think its illegal. Its also the food plant for a moth, and without it, it dies and never comes back.
A lawn of manicured grass is basically as useful to nature as concrete.
Chemical designed to kill insects negatively impacts insects, study finds
This is what usually happens in ecology and environmental science when the government and companies wont listen to what the scientists say. They do further research to confirm what has already been confirmed “yep still fucked if we dont do anything :D”
