How to kill pests without killing yourself
or the earth......
The Best Control II by
Stephen L Tvedten
There are about 50 to 60 million insect species on earth - we have
named only about 1 million and there are only about 1 thousand pest
species - already over 50% of these thousand pests are already
resistant to our volatile, dangerous, synthetic pesticide POISONS.
We accidentally lose about 25,000 to 100,000 species of insects,
plants and animals every year due to "man's footprint". But, after
poisoning the entire world and contaminating every living thing for
over 60 years with these dangerous and ineffective pesticide POISONS
we have not even controlled much less eliminated even one pest
species and every year we use/misuse more and more pesticide POISONS
to try to "keep up"! Even with all of this expensive pollution - we
lose more and more crops and lives to these thousand pests every
year.
We are losing the war against these thousand pests
mainly because we insist on using only synthetic pesticide POISONS
and fertilizers There has been a severe "knowledge drought" - a
worldwide decline in agricultural R&D, especially in production
research and safe, more effective pest control since the advent of
synthetic pesticide POISONS and fertilizers. Today we are like
lemmings running to the sea insisting that is the "right way". The
greatest challenge facing humanity this century is the necessity for
us to double our global food production with less land, less water,
less nutrients, less science, frequent droughts, more and more
contamination and ever-increasing pest damage.
National Poison Prevention Week, March 18-24,2007 was created to
highlight the dangers of poisoning and how to prevent it. One study
shows that about 70,000 children in the USA were involved in common
household pesticide-related (acute) poisonings or exposures in 2004.
It is estimated that 300,000 farm workers suffer acute pesticide
poisoning each year in the United States - No one is checking
chronic contamination.
In order to try to help "stem the tide", I have just
finished re-writing my IPM encyclopedia entitled: THE BEST CONTROL
II, that contains over 2,800 safe and far more effective
alternatives to pesticide POISONS. This latest copyrighted work is
about 1,800 pages in length and is now being updated chapter by
chapter at my new website at
http://www.stephentvedten.com/ .
This new website at
http://www.stephentvedten.com/ has all of my original IPM
encyclopedia in its original form and will continue to have more and
more free, updated Chapters every week. So far we have
electronically updated The Introduction, Chapter 11, 15, 16A, 16B,
17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33,
34, 35 and the Glossary of Terms. All of these copyrighted items are
free for you to read and/or download. There is simply no need to
POISON yourself or your family or to have any pest problems.

New Weapons in the Insect Wars: Developments & Discoveries in Biocontrol
ACRES USA - A Voice for Eco-Agriculture
A dramatic example of insect resistance to pesticides occurred
in the pecan orchards of southern New Mexico. Over the course of some 30
years, local pecan growers had sprayed against aphids intensively with a
vast variety of pesticides. At the time, they were raising cotton under
the young pecan trees, and the honeydew produced by the aphids in the
pecan trees dripped down and lowered the quality of the underlying crop.
Over the years, these growers stepped up spraying regimes over large
areas — a great recipe to develop a high level of insecticide
resistance. About ten years ago this resistance indeed reached a crisis
— no insecticide worked effectively on the aphid problem. . . .

Healthy Hospitals
Controlling Pests without Harmful Pesticides: Many hospital occupants
are especially vulnerable to pesticides yet pests are unacceptable in
such an environment. Therefore, it is vital that the hospital employ a
pest management program that effectively prevents and controls pest
problems using the least hazardous approach.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
POLICY
Dragonfleye Charter School
It is the policy of DragonfIeye Charter School to provide a
healthful educational environment, free of pesticides and other
pollutants. Chemicals and chemically-laden material will be considered
toxic and not allowed or used on site until proven safe. Biological
contaminants, such as bacteria and mold, will be considered hazardous,
and therefore, abated. Indoor air quality, along with other
environmental factors in and around the school, affects the health,
performance and productivity of all occupants. . .
Natural Insect
Pest Control
Eartheasy
Insect pests are an intimate part of every home.
In the air, carpet, counter or cupboard, every home shares it's resources
with these tiny, often unseen invaders.
Pesticides are available for most common household insect pests, but these
potent chemical compounds may be more harmful to you and the environment
than the pests.
Here are some natural, non-toxic ways to control household insect pests. . .
.
Natural
Flea Control
Even if all the ingredients in a flea repellent product are natural,
this doesn't ensure that they won't be toxic to your pet. For instance,
d'Limonene, which is derived from citrus peels and found in many natural
anti-flea products, can be highly toxic to cats. Herbal flea collars,
though they don't contain the poisons that conventional flea collars do,
come with the same warning: do not let children play with the collar. If
it's not good for your child, why would it be good for your pet?
Pesticides,
Fragrances and Cleaners
Health Care without Harm
Despite their role as places that promote health and healing, hospitals
and other health care institutions use a surprising number of highly
toxic chemicals on their premises, including pesticides, cleaners and
disinfectants, and fragrance chemicals. These volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) contribute to poor overall indoor air quality (IAQ) and are
associated with a host of health problems.
The good news is that health care facilities can manage pests and
provide a clean and sanitary environment without the use of toxic
pesticides, cleaning products, disinfectants or fragrance chemicals.
There are safer, effective methods of controlling pests and disinfecting
that will not harm the health of workers, patients and the public. The
use of safer cleaning products and less toxic disinfection methods, and
the adoption of integrated pest management and fragrance-free policies
improve indoor air quality and promote health. . . .

In Harmony
The introduction of 100,000 new chemical substances into our
environment in the last 50 years is having health implications that we
are only beginning to understand. Many scientists worry that pesticides
in our food and water are leading to higher rates of cancer, immune
system problems, birth defects and other problems.
Now, scientists fear that many chemicals and pesticides act as hormone
disruptors, tampering with our reproductive processes. Pesticides are
being linked to the rapidly decreasing sperm count in human males and
other species. They're also being connected to the increase in premature
puberty and the blurring of sexual distinctions, both in humans and in
other animals, as well as increasing rates of testicular and breast
cancer.

Flea control insecticides are a hazardous group of chemicals.
Looking at twenty flea control chemicals, over two-thirds are neurotoxic,
and almost that many have caused reproductive problems in laboratory tests.
Half of the chemicals are classified as carcinogens by EPA, or have been
associated with increased cancer risks in epidemiological or laboratory
studies. A quarter of them are known to cause genetic damage in at least one
test. Almost all have environmental concerns. Children and veterinarians, as
well as our rivers and estuaries, are impacted by these chemicals. . . .

Why Buy Organic Flowers for Everyday?
Why Buy Organic Flowers?
Whenever you touch or inhale the scent of your non-organic flowers, you are likely touching or inhaling poisonous chemicals. When you buy organic flowers, you will not have to worry about chemicals on your flower bouquets being toxic to your children, other members of your family,
or yourself.
Chemical Love
If you’re thinking of saying it with flowers, be careful what it is that you say. Flowers are the most pesticide-intensive crop and flower workers pay a heavy price.
A study published by the Netherlands’ Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment reports that Dutch floral workers are exposed to pesticide concentrations of up to 60 times the amount considered safe. The Netherlands, long famous as the global “flower capital,” has heavily contaminated water and air in its flower-growing regions. Some European countries are already setting up cooperatives, with growers concerned about pesticide use and workers’ health. Click title for more . . .
Question: Has anyone else noticed (over the years) the rise in health problems and illness in the days and weeks after Valentine's Day? What about Christmas and Guy Fawkes? Does anyone remember the huge number of deaths from "flu" in the weeks after the Millennium celebrations, when the air was thick with toxic smoke and fumes from the fires and fireworks? "Flu epidemic" they said in UK! Anyone else out there joining the dots?
Let's show our love by taking notice of the destruction we are causing to this world and our loved ones by the use of all things toxic.
AND STOP DOING IT!!! |
Prevention is the
key to escaping chemical sensitivities.
With the right information, you can
make small changes that make a big difference in your health and your
children's health. |
