Protecting Our Environment
Like all Californians, we care deeply about the need to protect our water and environment. This web site was developed out of a commitment to ensure that our products are used properly around the home and garden.
If you are a gardener or homeowner who chooses to use pesticides, we urge you to apply them responsibly. By following a few simple rules found on this site you can play an important role in preserving California’s water quality and environment.
We would like to thank the thousands of Californians who participated in our 2012 water conservation quiz and giveaway!
Our supply of California native seeds is now depleted but stay tuned for upcoming information on keeping your home, garden and environment healthy and thriving in 2013.
The Urban Pyrethroid Stewardship
For the past three years, the Urban Pyrethroid Stewardship – a pesticide industry alliance – has been promoting “Apply Responsibly.” The campaign is committed to educating Californians in urban areas about environmentally responsible ways to handle, store and dispose of a wide range of home and garden pesticide products, including insecticides containing pyrethroids. The program also provides a wide range of resources for consumers who want to learn more about integrated pest management, pest prevention and general gardening.
Mission Statement
The Pyrethroid Working Group is a national task force formed to promote sound science and foster the responsible use of pyrethroid-based pest control products.
