All the chemicals we use have very low impact to the environment. We use the best products we can buy, anything we use is safe for humans, pets and livestock.  Our continuing education hours that we must take every year keeps us up to date with chemicals and what chemicals that can be found in our water systems. We take our job and the use of any chemicals very seriously.   As a business owner I take 12 continuing education hours a year, any applicator that works from me must take 6 hours of continuing education to keep our license(s).

An unlicensed applicator is very unlikely to follow the strict rules and regulations of the Pest Management Division or the Dept. of Agriculture as we do. Most likely to disregard the label and use rates for the products, the label is the law.

Glyphosate is an herbicide used to kill weeds. It was first developed in the 1970’s and is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world because it is both safe and effective. Glyphosate is used to control a wide variety of weeds and invasive plants in agriculture and gardening, on land and in water environments. There are over 100 glyphosate products sold by over 40 different companies around the world in over 160 countries.

Yes. Before a product can be registered for sale and use in the United States, it must be approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is the head scientific body in the United States that sets strict scientific policies and guidelines for pesticide products to ensure they can be used safely and effectively.

Over 300 studies and thousands of pages of information on glyphosate were reviewed by scientists at the U.S.EPA before it was approved for use. These include short term and long term studies to determine if it caused cancer. All of these studies support the conclusion that glyphosate is safe when used as labeled and poses no health risk to workers or the public. This includes farm workers spraying glyphosate.

Like all pesticides, the U.S. EPA continues to evaluate the safety of glyphosate. Hundreds of additional trustworthy studies have been performed on glyphosate over the last forty years to determine if it causes cancer, other diseases, or long-term health problems. It does not.
