does condo property need pesticides
My small 8-unit in Tacoma has a small garden on two sides (N & E). We pay someone to spray 4x a year for aphids, weevil, etc. There is a large field on the W. side that gets mowed periodically. At my former house in Tacoma I never sprayed once in 25 yrs . Can I cancel this service in good conscience?

Yes - in my opinion spraying a residential property with an insecticide four times a year is way too often. Unless you have a severe outbreak of termites or other damaging pests there is not need for routine spraying of insecticide. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
