REDUCE PESTICIDE USE
Pest pressure can drive people to unsafe use of pesticides.
• Too much• Too many• Wrong kind – unsafe & Illegal

KEY MESSAGESPests can create allergens and be vectors of disease.Control of pests through pesticides can lead to poisonings and other neurological problems. Some pesticides found in homes have been banned.Make house less hospitable for pests. Prevent entry, control food, water, and places for shelter. Integrated Pest Management is the recommended strategy.
