(NC) While its no surprise that being outdoors contributes to better physical health, studies show it also improves mental health. And now, COVID-19 restrictions have made us value the outdoors even more.
Being outside allows us to take part in socially distanced meetings with our families and friends, boosting overall well-being. Curbside visits are now a regular part of our s ocial calendars. Going for walks and enjoying parks, sports fields or our own backyards has shown to provide enjoyment for families and contribute to healthier communities.
Its not uncommon for green spaces to come under threat from insects, weeds and diseases, but there are tools like urban pesticides that can help manage these threats and keep outdoor spaces healthy and enjoyable.
They come in consumer formulations that are specifically made for use by homeowners as well as commercial products designed for use by people with specialized training, like lawncare and landscaping companies.
Pesticides are effective and safe. Before any pesticide can be sold, it must be approved by Health Canada. Canadas regulatory process is stringent, world renowned, and ensures all pesticides used are safe for both people and the environment.
