Pesticides are valuable tools that can improve the quality of our outdoor space. They help us manage the pests that spread disease among our plants, reduce the yield of our crops and congest our waterways. These chemicals, however, can threaten our health and environment if not used properly.The North Carolina Pesticide Law of 1971 requires licensing of anyone who applies pesticides as part of their business activity. Licensing requires passing an exam administered by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Landscape Solutions & Design’s employees are fully versed in the safe use of pesticides, which are used only as required and in the appropriate amount for the job. These certified employees must know the proper clothing, equipment and methods used to mix and apply pesticides.Landscape Solutions & Design is proud of its licensed applicators, who care for your family’s health as well as your gardens and shrubs.
