From Essex County CCE:
Amy and I are spending almost the entire month of March giving 30-hour and recertification classes for pesticide applicators.

This article is a great idea! It might slow down those gardeners and homeowners who reach for “quick fix in a can”! Until this idea catches hold, we shall continue to promote IPM and do whatever else we can to keep unnecessary pesticides where they belong - on the shelf!
