Pesticides, Potent and Potentially Deadly

In a desperate bid to rid their homes of wildlife animals like raccoons, many people resort to the use of pesticides. Pesticides are designed to reduce the presence of pests. They are popularly used by farmers to protect their crops from insects that feed on them. But as they seep into the earth, pesticides are known to also damage the soil and pollute water bodies. This is why Canada has enacted legislation to regulate the use of pesticides.

Pesticides in DIY Wildlife Animal Control
