"The shift from chemical pesticides to [Integrated Pest Management] was not just an agricultural decision; it was a moral one. I realised that what I was doing was harming the environment, exposing my family and consumers to chemicals and contributing to climate change" #Pesticides #IPM #Farming #Environment ‘Spraying should be the last option’: how farmers are exploring alternatives to pesticides | Pesticides | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/sep/13/kenyan-fruit-farmers-pesticide-environment

In my futile quest to get more people to make mosquito traps for their yards, I made a visual. Please share with friends and sneak into any presentation you're giving even if it's completely unrelated to mosquitoes. Mosquito Dunks contain Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis ("Bti"), a bacteria that is safe for everything except mosquito larvae, work for approximately 30 days, and are available at most garden centers and hardware stores in North America. Bti-containing powders and liquids are sold worldwide under different trade names. NB: the white lid helps you see mosquito larvae (if present it's time to add another dose of Bti). #mosquitoes #mosquito #ipm
