Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) recognizes that our natural surroundings must be sustainably maintained and managed to help ensure quality and healthy community living now and for the future. HRM is working towards creating an environmentally sustainable community. Part of this initiative involves reducing pesticide use in the Municipality through the establishment of the Pesticide By-law (P-800).
However, there are still a number of materials that can still be used to control pest problems in the maintenance of our trees, shrubs, plants, flowers and lawns. Administrative Order 23 provides a list of Permitted Pesticides. It is recommended that you use any materials carefully and follow the manufacturers label instructions. Most of these materials can be purchased locally at lawn and garden centres, suppliers and retailers.
