Are you on the “Chemical Treadmill”?
Any pest control product that is applied does NOT just disappear into “thin air”. A pesticide, chemical or antibiotic must either be metabolized, broken down chemically/physically, or it remains as a residue in the environment or host organism. Most often, it does not just impact the target pest but also may harm the host or area being treated.
