Pesticides in Parks: Minimizing Risks Now to Wildlife and Public Awareness
Pesticides on Roosevelt Island caused the deaths of 7 goslings and 3 baby squirrels, sparking outrage over the lack of eco-friendly pest control and community consultation.

Eco-Friendly Pest Management: The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Approach
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a proactive and eco-friendly approach to pest control, minimizing chemical pesticide use. It emphasizes prevention, monitoring, non-chemical controls, and targeted interventions. By reducing health risks, being cost-effective, and promoting sustainability, IPM offers a balanced and effective solution. Examples include using beneficial insects in gardens and sealing entry points at home.
