Pesticides are poisons that kill pests, but they can also harm people, pets, and other creatures in our environment. Pesticides applied around the outside of your home, or in your garden, can be washed into storm drains by rain and sprinklers. These pesticides end up polluting creeks, the Bay, and Pacific Ocean, destroying the environment for our children and future generations. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) promotes the use of non-toxic, or less toxic methods to control pests. STOPPP encourages everyone to consider using integrated pest management to control pests, and help reduce contaminated runoff.
