What are Pesticides?

A "pesticide" includes insecticides, herbicides and fungicides.  Commercial products regulated by the Pesticide Act are now restricted by the Ministry of Environment.  Identified natural products, however, can be used at any time.

What can I use instead?

• Organic soaps
• Diatomaceous Earth
• Borax
• Vinegar
• Pyrethrum
• Mineral oil
• Sulphur
• Nematodes
• Silicon Dioxide
• And other biological controls

You can also use IPM
